7 photos of the stunning waterfalls at Valhalla Golf Club's No. 13 island green
The shortest par 4 at Valhalla Golf Club may look easy on paper, but provides one of the most nerve wracking tests the sport has to offer. It’s also one of the most gorgeous.
At the end of the 355-yard fairway sits an island green surrounded by waterfalls.
The 13th hole at the Louisville track is truly sight to behold and one we’ll see plenty of during this week’s PGA Championship at the Jack Nicklaus-designed course. Here’s how Valhalla describes it:
No. 13 has seen its fair share of excitement over the years. A series of six bunkers on the left of the driving zone must be avoided. The “island” green is one the most spectacular on the course, built up nearly 20 feet on large boulders. Since the green is almost completely surrounded by water, accuracy with controlled spin is a must for this hole.
That doesn’t quite capture the majesty of the layout. These photos, however, do the trick.
