I like to think in terms of holes playing their numbers, so here goes with a double dip of ocean holes to begin - imagine if a course started out this way!  ...

1. Machrihanish - duh
2. North Berwick

It would take a pretty special piece of ground to have 400 yards of ocean and beachfront to your left on #1, and 400 yards of ocean and beachfront to your right on #2 !!!

Play the same hole but in opposite directions would solve the problem - this would be a typical crossover hole that Sean would like!  ;D

Well, two years is a long time, I've played a lot of new and good courses since I made this. I suppose I'll do it again, just for fun.
Pine Needles #6
Tobacco Road #5
Tot Hill Farm #12 (can't help it, I love the fish-hook holes)
Royal New Kent #1
Golden Horseshoe (Gold) #17
Eagle Point #7
Forest Creek (North) #17
Old Town #7, #12
Riverfront #12, #15
Lonnie Poole at NCSU #18
US Naval Academy #6
Nansemond River #5
Mattaponi Springs #1
The President (Eagle) #6
Pensacola CC #3
Pinehurst #2 #18

That was harder than I remembered. I find that many of the courses I have played seem to have less than  spectacular par 4's. Many have par 5's and par 3's that would easily make a list like this, but the par 4's are lacking slightly. Not to say they don't come together well as a whole, but individually, they are not great. Interesting find.
