Paul:
The holes that have long approach shots also don't have THAT small greens.
8 is the exception - that green is rather small - but it's such a great hole otherwise that the small green seems to add rather than detract. It's also far from unfair as it isn't THAT small.
But the only really long approach shots are on 9 and 10.. and those greens aren't very small at all.
All other approach shots are on the short side... par 5s are all gonna be wedges or a bit longer in the case of 14... 1, 3, 4 are all gonna be less than 150 in.... 11, 13, 15, 16 are the same... and all this is for a person of average distance, not a bomber...
Par threes go like this:
5 - long shot from back tee, average size green (not really small anyway)
7 - wedge
12 - long shot, but again, not that small of a green - lots of room right of bunker
17 - long shot, weird green.
So really 8 and 17 are the only greens that I'd call "unfair" and hell, each is such a great and/or quirky cool historic hole, I believe we can live with it.
