Great sketch and photos of redans, that Chicago green is squarer than those in Oakmont.

The original redan hole is the 15th hole at North Berwick Golf Club in Scotland, designed by Ben Sayers. Many consider the redan as the best par 3 design in golf. I think it’s a phenomenal design because of the options it gives golfers of different skill levels. Birdies, pars and big numbers can be had by great players and average players alike.

Kill slow play. Allow walking. Reduce ineffective golf instruction. Use environmentally friendly course maintenance.

I like RTJ's 12th at Spyglass - spectacular setting with a pond rather than a bunker as the chief hazard - the farther back the flag is on the hole the more of the pond you have to carry and it doesn't help that the green slopes in the direction of the pond as well.

I believe I've played two redan holes.

The original, at North Berwick, and the one at Camargo Club near Cinci.

the 15th at Philly Cricket is a classic example of this as well. it was redone during the renovation back to the original layout....great hole if you don't mind a kick in the nuts at the back part of the round!!

The 5th hole at Peek'n Peak Upper Course (last week's web.com venue) is redan-ish, if you ignore the elevated tee.

My favorite redan hole is 17 at Mid Ocean in Bermuda.

    • I’m not sure I agree. It’s just what the majority find more entertaining. Most people prefer women’s gymnastics over men in the Olympics. How much hype is there with the men’s compared to the women’s? I bet you can rattle off several big names in women’s gymnastics and only a handful of men. Women’s tennis …same thing. And sure enough, their purses are the same. However, WNBA, awful…LPGA, not near as much interest than PGA. Don’t think it’s really that complicated IMO.

    • Hence your Avatar!😜 I drink a lot of water during the day if I’m playing or exercising. I get cramps otherwise.
    • If you walk up to a food/drink kiosk at Magic Kingdom and ask the person for a cup of "magic water" they will give you a small cup of Sprite for free. About 3 fingers worth. They don't sell alcohol at MK anymore so I go over to one of the courses while she hangs out there. 
    • This isn't some kind of natural fact. It's a lot more complicated than this implies.
