INSPIRATION:
THE REVERSE REDAN
The Redan’s brilliance lies in the options it gives golfers of every skill level. Birdies, pars, and big numbers can
be had by great players and average players alike.
A Redan typically ranges from 180-215 yards and features a 45 degree right-to-left oriented green protected by
a deep bunker along the left side. Redan and Reverse Redan greens (same concept with the opposite angle)
carry a great deal of slope that typically runs toward the bunker and from the front of the green to the back.
Traditional Redans also typically feature a bunker short of the green with another behind the sloping shoulder
(behind the green) that penalize wayward shots. Up-and-downs from the back bunker are highly unlikely.
An ideal miss is long as it leaves an uphill chip shot back to the pitched green.
ARCHITECT’S NOTES:
A. Construct new forward tees per the tee equity plan
B. Remove a few trees up the left side of the hole to grade the correct
kicker slope from left to right for the redan.
C. Remove backdrop of trees behind the green to show off the historic
cottonwoods and to create the space needed to properly build the
redan green.
D. Construct new green complex utilizing the inspiration of “redan” green
concept.
