David,
You sense a certain kinship between Seminole and Dornoch. I've wondered if the reason Ross actively sought the Seminole job was because the seaside property with its unique dune ridges evoked Dornoch in a way.
A parallel strength is the natural way their routings flow between the higher and lower ground of the two sites, and how the location of so many of the greens aids in this. Of course the influence of certain of Dornoch's plateau greens is evident at Seminole. Also, I find the orientation of the greenside bunkering at Seminole to be linkslike in that it's not always super tight against the greens. This gives a player an illusion of room, but an approach with some drift can wind up bunkered, due to the firmness of the green complexes and the effect of the breezes.
There are some of the best green complexes and surrounds in the game at these two courses.
