Yesterday, I stopped at a municipal course in Fort Myers, Florida called Eastwood. It was built in 1977 by Devlin and Von Hagge. It has no houses, allows walking, and apparently is $12.50 after 3 PM. I walked and carried my clubs on the front nine, and I was surprised at some of the interesting architecture out there. One hole in particular stood out, the long par three fourth. The hole plays about 230 from all the way back, and my first thought on the tee was "this is a poor man's Redan (both literally and figuratively)." Here is a grainy iPhone photo that I posted to Twitter:

There is no front right kick plate, but there is a mound to the right of the green that will shrug a draw onto the putting surface. There is a fronting left bunker, but the green is barely angled around it out. A front left hole location isn't terribly accessible, but a right-to-left slope can help you feed in a shot.
The bottom line: this isn't a carbon copy of the 15th at North Berwick, but it's solid public course par three with some Redan characteristics.
My question to y'all: at what point does a par three become a Redan?
