What am I missing about Hazeltine that the PGA of America keeps seeing?

And again...does anyone else out there scratch their heads over these pix? Why would they take and post pix from the middle of the woods?

Who cares?

That's one of the first things in this thread that I can agree with.

I'm interviewing Rees and others who have played it, and have some extensive resource materials to look through.
As for the pix, they are the pix in the on-line yardage book! How are we supposed to see the holes through the trees? This is supposed to be an on-line yardage guide...great picture of six trees...can't see the fairway or green!
Greg Krueger:
In my view Hazeltine is a very good test for the best players in the world. The only holes I don't care for are
9,15 & 18. 9 & 18 are almost identical long, uphill par 4's that run side by side coming up the hill to the
clubhouse. 15 is a routine 3 shotter with not much interest. I would say the winning score will be somewhere
between 5 and 10 under, but if the wind blows even par would be a heck of a score.
Hazeltine when it first opened was not a very good golf course and it deserved some of the comments made
by players during the 1970 US Open. It is a very different course now and may be one of RTJ & Rees best
designs. (I know that is not saying much)
Greg Krueger:
Jay, those are without a doubt very poor photos. I think the club got screwed on that yardage book! But that
being said there is definitely NOT a tree problem at Hazeltine
