I have just a few things to add regarding #13, perhaps in contrast to what my friend Rich has suggest regarding smart plays on this hole. I do agree that this would be my favorite par-5 at Chambers, as well...
The wind, what little "prevailing" breeze there ever is, is not necessarily helping on this hole. Off the tee, there is a bit more tendency for there to be a right-left breeze that can help a bit, but the biggest help is getting the tee shot down the slot Rich mentioned on the very right of the fairway. this is absolutely the best angle from which to attack the green, and I think I have only ever seen one player take the aggressive line down the right and get it going down the slope into the waste area through the fairway.
The line off that tee is really the stop sign up on the hill above the course, even though that practically takes away the option of reaching the green. The most interesting challenge of #13 however is the optical presentation of the fairway approach to the green. one can stand there and swear that the shot is downhill, and that the gentle wisp of a breeze is helping you because it occasionally feels that way off the tee. However, the green is actually slightly elevated from the level of the fairway, although admittedly only by a few feet. The fairway dips down to the centerline bunker and then back up again. I have witnessed player after player after player come up short in that bunker or hit short and slide down the hill to the low area right...
Therefore one would think that the miss from the fairway is short and left, because it would seem as if that is the play to open up the green. That is not correct--the front third or so of the green is angled down and to the right, and (as Rich noted) it is almost impossible to keep a chip or short pitch from heading that direction. Then the back half/two-thirds of the green is angled away from the fairway with a subtle spine down the center so that shots tend to deflect off the back left or the back right instead of stopping.
After many plays, it definitely has turned out to be that the miss (or preferred angle in) is from the right side of the centerline bunker, but because there is almost no room there, the line is actually into the right side of the green or even down into that collection area or better yet--LONG! Rich is right, the plays back up to the hole (even when it is in the front) and not nearly as difficult as the other way around.
This green also sits in a bit of an exposed bowl, and there seems to be a bit of a "pocket of dead air" to this spot. The play is to add 10-15 yards from the fairway number and favor the right edge of the green and have at it...
I like this hole so much better than #12, for example, it's not even funny---I think of them as two holes linked together as essentially a "par 8.5" for the better players. In medal play, if one doesn't birdie at least one, there will be a sense of having let a major chance slip away. In match play, there are a host of different ways to try to gain an advantage on either...
I feel that #13 requires considerably more "local knowledge" than most of the other holes at Chambers Bay
