If Cypress were 18 holes of the inland variety only, would you call it a parkland course?

Sure, it's all in a forest unless you're out in the open dunes or ocean areas.  The forest holes - #4, #5, #6, #7, #10, #11 - are very much parkland holes - IMHO.  I thought that was the coolest thing about CPC really, how Mackenzie had you weaving in and out of the different environments.  Only Friars Head had a similar feeling to me.

NOTE:  That was a serious question; I've never been there.

Does that mean Pine Valley is the ultimate "parkland" course?
