@Duffman23790 Golf Courses are like art, and beauty is on the eye of the beholder. I have been to Augusta National, and it is quite an amazing course when you see it in real life. Definitely a masterpiece for sure.
I do agree with you though, about courses that have more natural textures being more beautiful. I am more partial to heathland courses myself. Sand, pines, tall grass, and water/wetland mixed in between.
@Midnightrambler3760 Ive worked on golf courses that have never needed to go to these extreams. The British open courses for example, Carnoustie, St.andrews, Royal Lytham, Royal St georges have next to no fakery and in turn make for a much more appealing course imo.
Maybe im alone in saying that, but somtimes less is more.
@Riff28Raff mate i agree with u 100% im a greenskeeper in melboure (aus) on the sandbelt n they give me the shits!!! walking up and down the bunker faces, getting in ya way,n just been down right rude
Forgive me if i'm wrong but isn't this how most fairways are cut coming into major tournaments in the US by using the pushing and pulling method?

@Duffman23790 You are 100% correct, less is definitely more. Golf is an outdoor sport and you should feel like you are definitely outdoors.
I have friends who will not play a links course if it is even slightly windy, I say "Bring it on!"

@Duffman23790 I dream about playing those courses.
What do you think of the course Trump is building on the dunes in Scotland?

@Riff28Raff That is hillarious, comparing leaves on a links course to a course lined with trees.
They are smart at Augusta, they line it with Georgia pines. No leaves and not a lot of rough to mow.
