The best example of a two way course is the Old Course at Saint Andrews, which is still played in the reverse direction on occasion.
In this example, an existing defunct 18-hole "executive" length par 60 course is reconfigured with nine greens that can be played at a par of 35 in two different directions.
​
Any well designed green will have two or more places where surface drainage exits the green, creating the potential for different approaches and strategies.
​
The direction of play can be changed day to day or an entire 72 player field can be shotgunned and then reversed after completing nine holes.
