Hole #13 - Augusta National Golf Club, Augusta, GA - 510 yards Par 5

This is what happens when one of the most strategic par 5s in the world is combined with one of the most picturesque settings in the world.  This hole has options everywhere and beauty everywhere.  The tee shot is hit over a large section of Rae's Creek to a fairway that cants from right to left with a small creek guarding the inside of the dogleg to the left.  The perfect tee shot is long with a draw, but if it doesn't draw, the shot will run through the fairway into the trees at the outside of the dogleg, eliminating the option of going for the green in two.  Over-cook the draw and it will hook into the creek on the left (or trees to the left of the creek).  A well placed drive will almost certainly have a hook lie for a shot into the green that favors a fade over a creek if you want to attack this short par 5 and go for the green in two.  Good luck with that.

Assuming you lay up, the rolling fairway slopes severely down toward the creek for the last 75 yards or so, which requires you to lay up well short of the hole if you choose to lay up.  That means you now have a 100 yard+ approach with the same hook lie issue.  If your layup goes too far, you have a hook and a downhill lie that you need to finesse over the creek.  You'll need more than luck to pull that shot off.

The green is set across the creek and is surrounded by four bunkers to the rear and left of the green.  The creek that fronts the green also guards the right side as it meanders past the green.  The green itself is fairly large (which allows it to accept long second shots), but also has significant interior contouring which make any eagle or birdie putt a challenge.
