George, I've never been to Mystic Rock, but I've played a ton of Dye.

One thing you cannot do is pigeon-hole the Dyes. That is one
test/result of how good a design team they really are.

Keep in mind this -- Pete's glory years came a good ways back -- I opined that The Ocean Course is likely the last of the heavyweight layouts he designed. Ditto Pete Dye GC in Bridgeport, WV.

That's not to say a few of the more recent ones aren't good -- Bulle Rock is a fine layout but it's far from the high altitude layouts of the more distant past.

Do you not like Whistling Straits?  Is that not a masterpiece?
