I had not thought about #13 in conjunction with #14. That does soften my opinion slightly, as I agree if you can play the two in 8 shots, that's success. It's nice to have the half par holes right next to each other.
All that being said, I still think the landing area on 13 is too small for middle to long iron. I had the exact same wind for all 4 rounds (into and from the right on 13) and that probably colors my opinion here. Every ball we hit ended up short in the front left bunker or left of the green in the high grass. Multiple balls in the group behind us ended up on 14 tee. I just couldn't get the ball started far enough right.
However, as Shane points out, this means 2 of my 4 drives on 14 ended up all the way down the hill with a short iron in. I guess the only way to solve this is to get back out there and play another 100 rounds with different winds.
