HOLE 3

This hole used to feature a “blind” tee shot, with the fairway and green obscured by a hill directly in front of it. The has long gone but the hole still presents a challenge. We’re uncertain of the origin of the name Redan but there are two obvious choices. The name could have been adopted from the Crimean War when British troops captured a Russian-held fort or “redan”, Or the hole could have been named after one on the North Berwick links in Scotland. Typically “redan” greens are tilted uphill to a hole that’s fully or partially obscured to the player.
