The 12th at Bonnie Doon is as fine an example as I have played.
The green offers back and back right pins near backboards and sideboards that can be extremely useful if you've placed your drive well, as well as a front right pin over a bunker that is impossible to access from anywhere but the ideal finishing spot of a brave driver from the tee. That's just on the right.
The left-hand side is far less pleasant, with the domed shape resulting in anything substandard being swatted away, while strong internal contour means playing away from those flags leaves a really testing two-putt.
To any of these pins, the best play off the tee varies greatly.
Just short left of the green is fantastic for a back right or centre pin in the gathering zone I mentioned, but if the pin is cut just over the bunker, you might well prefer to drive the ball pin-high right and chip back downhill in what is a small valley that feeds the ball to the general vicinity of the hole.
With the pin cut anywhere on that imposing left-hand-side, I'm not sure that going for the green is a particlarly wise play, as from that "prime" short-left area you're hitting a 15m shot to a pin cut on a dome about 5ft above you.
If laying up, a similar variety of preferred placements occurs.
The LHS is generally preferable as it is higher - making for an almost level wedge approach - but the angle to the LHS pins from there is daunting, and so with the pin there you may find that the lower, wider RHS layip area is a better angle and provides a slightly more forgiving approach.
And regardless of the side you choose, laying further back is preferred for a front pin (so delicate is the shot, you want a full swing), while a back pin, especially in the bowl back right, means that splitting the difference between laying back and going for it can be wiser.
All that without considering the impacts of the always changing and generally strong wind that blows across the course.
A wonderful hole and a poster child for what a short par four should be.
