--- Quote from: Scott Warren on December 22, 2024, 09:22:20 PM ---The Yale, Fishers Island & National redans are all incredibly different holes and they’re all within 50 miles of each other and built within 15 years (Fishers and Yale opened the same year).

I've never understood why the Yale redan is called a redan. It is nothing like the original, nor is it like the redans at National and Shinnecock. It plays significantly downhill. There really isn't an option of bouncing it in from the right (although that could be more of a maintenance issue). And the green itself slopes from back to front, rather than running away from you.

Dan,
The redan at Yale reminds me of the one at Mid-Ocean where the landforms and elevation drop make it difficult to hit a shot that chases left and away after landing.

You almost always get the back left pin in it’s current form and have to hit it deep right to get it to track left off the bounce. I’m expecting this green to be significantly reworked by Hanse to have it function as a proper redan. More than a few players have been heartbroken by a shortish shot that either rolls back off the green or stays high right.
