What are some of the best greens that...

...play equally well whether you hit a long iron, or wedge into it.

A good example of this for me in this category would be the fourth green at Tumble Creek.  A long-iron is a fun shot because the green allows for a running approach and a big bank on the right of the green allows balls to kick left and get close to certain pin locations.  On the contrary, the green is bold enough where a mediocre wedge or short iron may very well spin off the green or test the player with a long, sloping putt.

Are there any other greens that challenge and make an approach fun whether a long or short iron is being used?

The second at Oklahoma City.  It falls away from the player and is at enough of a slope that it doesn't allow backspin to have much of a factor, so you have to run your shot into the green.  I would wager 5 out of 10 shots end up going long regardless of the club if one tries an aerial attack on the green.

The 11th at Lost Dunes is a good example
