Hello,
By the measure of the question, then Quaker Ridge is the "trickiest" of them all...a par 3 9th AND 10th!
Likely the only Top 200 course with this feature, if not the only well-regarded course with such an offering.
But to the original intent of the question, I think having a Par 3 10th is less a "trick," and more like a thesis from the architect about what worked best for the property.
If the:
a. quality of the hole available for that par 3 is outstanding...
b. and the subsequent 8 holes of the Back Nine route are of a pace where the player won't get starved with only 1 remaining one shotter...
c. and the site of the hole works with the property plan (near clubhouse turn, a congregation point, allows a range or parking or maintenance bldg to be sited well)
then...hot dog sales or not...
I say let it be a Par 3.
It is "tricky" to pull off well and WFW #10 is a great example of something that meets the criteria, the flow and quality of the subsequent routing is such that even with the final Par 3, the 13th, coming just 2 holes later, the breakup of 4s, and 5s from 10 and around 13, do not make a player regularly note the absence of a one shotter in the final 5.
Though it's a different foxhunt altogether, I have to note that although I feel as though it is some sort of unwritten taboo, I have found myself liking, more than disliking, an opening Par 3 when I have encountered it. Ideally I would like to have that hole be 210-240, with little hazard or wild topography, but an interesting green. A hole where most can take a swing with a wood...5w, 4w, 3w, Driver and start their day with a short solvable pitch for their 3, an easy 4...2s get the day off to a nice start as well.
cheers
