The 13th hole at Baywood Golf and Country Club is a short, 334 yard dogleg right par 4 with a massive grove of redwood trees at the corner.
The perfect shot is 230 - 240 yards (perfectly struck 3 wood) to a landing area about the size of a green.
If you go even slightly to the right you are blocked. Far right is in the water. Left is in the woods, lost ball.
If you are short your ball will kick right off a hill and you will be blocked, have lie that is severely below your feet or both.
If you are slightly long or catch the slope wrong you are through the fairway into the undergrowth for an unplayable lie (if you are lucky enough to find your ball that is.)
Once you make it past the dogleg the hole isn't so bad. Wedge to a good sized green that slopes back right to front left, a couple of greenside bunkers and a big slope off the back.
If you hit a perfect drive it is a birdie hole, but that is a 1/10 chance for me. Otherwise it is the worlds shortest par 5.
