Dan's old stomping grounds, the original Sheridan Park Golf Course, had a wonderful layout with fairly uninspired greens, courtesy of William Harries. For a guy who belonged to a Travis classic (Cherry Hill in Ridgeway, Ontario), Travies built some pretty bland putting surfaces.
Crag Burn (yes, that old saw) has such a diverse package of greens that it falls in with Seven Oaks as a total RTJ Sr. package. In contrast, his work at Glen Oak (formerly Ransom Oaks Country Club) in Amherst, NY, is a typical Florida routing with big, sweeping breaks, but nothing really subtle. Lots of tilt, little footwork.
It's really hard to muck up greens. Unless you go for the inverted bowl on every hole (we have a few of those courses in WNY) or you shave them flat on purpose, the unpredictable nature of settling (confirmation please, architects?) will leave some intricacies. I can't imagine that any architect throughout history would have ignored greens completely, after routing a fine track. I usually find ho-hum greens on a farmers or mom/pop course that exists as a money-maker.
