Patrick Mucci,
How much wind do those courses get? I imagined they would be windier than most, Hide Creek especially.
David,
Both courses get a nice breeze.
GCGC probably more than HC.
But, they don't get a good WIND as does Newport, Seminole, Maidstone, Bandon and others.
For wind to be an asset, I think wide fairways are a must, or, if wide fairways don't exist, a fairly benign rough.
ANGC might have been a good candidate pre narrowing.
I also thought the same thing about Merion.
Pine Valley, absent the added length would seem to be an ideal candidate due to it's wide fairways.
