Designed by Pete Dye and opened in 1984, the Austin Country Club’s course sits on the shores of the Colorado River and Lake Austin, and it has been the host site of the WGC-Dell Technologies Match Play since 2016.
Austin Country Club was founded in 1899, but the club moved from one course to another before Dye built the club its third course.
One of the most interesting holes on the course each year is the short, driveable par-4 13th. Playing 317 yards from the back tees, the hole gives Tour pros the chance to drive the green, which is all carry over water. Or players can lay up with a mid-iron to the fairway, leaving a wedge into the green. It’s a chance to be bold or play smart, and the choice can be incredibly tempting to these players who have plenty of length to aim at the tiny target from the tee.
Thanks to fairway maps provided by Puttview – the maker of detailed yardage books for more than 30,000 courses around the world – we can see exactly the challenges that players face on No. 13 this week, as well as the rest of Austin Country Club. Check out each hole below.
