SWX Dream 18, Hole No. 13 - Liberty Lake Golf Course
LIBERTY LAKE, Wash. — Our SWX Dream 18 is already at hole No. 13, and Austin Getz and Noah Schmick are back at Liberty Lake for its par-4 with a lot going on.

You have to pick the right club there," said Kit DeAndre, Liberty Lake Golf Course's head professional. "It doesn't punish you too bad, but still visually, it's distracting. You stand on the tee, and like I said, it's framed real well. It's a pretty hole, but you have to hit a good shot there."
