The look of those dunes holes was spectacular, they were not a gimic because the numerous beautiful models in the neighborhood. I believe Cypress Point was completed prior to Pebble Beach, in fact they used the same construction company led by Robert Hunter. Egan and MacKenzie became partners at around this time, and I've always suspected MacKenzie was more than a casual observer, especially when reading Egans description of the construction of those dunes bunkers, he claimed he had never designed and anything like them and was little skeptical at first.
