The routing for the Dormie Club looks like it features mostly fairly short green-to-next-tee walks, but also a few longer walks (presumably to better get to the golf hole that C&C first envisioned while routing). I was thinking of some of the oldest of courses -- created in a time when having the next tee literally steps away from the previous green was almost a given -- and I wondered if back then that practice of having very short green-to-next-tee walks ever meant that potentially ideal green sites were ignored (i.e. not used/not actually made into greens). Also, I'm wondering if, today, there are any compelling reasons not to use a potentially ideal green site in the name of gaining some other positive elsewhere.
Thanks
