Patrick:
I think that the hole was one of the most interesting and fun holes that I have played. Saying that, in the right setting and on the right style of golf course, I think it would be well received by nearly everyone. I cannot speak for PGA tour pros, as I am sure "fun" is not part of the equation. I would love to see more holes in modern design like those at Lahinch and Prestwick...I had a blast at both courses.
Just my opinion.
