I would like to nominate any green complex photographed by Aidan Bradley.

That said, sometimes it's the green complex itself, sometimes it is the green complex in the context of the surrounding land. Here is a link to an example of the latter:

Just gorgeous, although the course itself is not all that.

And for a complex that is, in itself, visually appealing, regardless of the backdrop (although that is beautiful as well):

Jordan,

I wish we had gotten a picture of that little green; it was my favorite hole on the course and the only memorable one for me.

I think your exaggerating slightly on the drop off behind the green, it was more like a 20 ft. drop. Still very penalizing, but for a 3/4 wedge shot I didn't feel it was over-the-top as distance control was obviously paramount.

You're right about the green size though, certainly the smallest I've ever played...
