I hate to see features that could have been avoided with a proper design. Sometimes power lines can't be avoided, at least in view. But, unlike what you can see at The Hamptons in VA, you can avoid playing directly under them or beside them. Same with water. Courses can certainly be built on sites that have natural water frontage and in that case water on the course is great. The key with the water if it has to be created in order to promote proper drainage is to make it discrete, where it isn't really seen, in some cases, and a strategic feature in others. Going back for a satellite look at Cahoon Plantation again, it appears to me they have water somewhat in play on 15 holes. Only once, well twice, did that water impact my decision making. Once it caused me to hit a shorter club off the tee and the other caused me to aim farther away from the green when I went for the green in 2 on #18. Other than that, I did not really see it and it was not in play for me.
Again, I think the key to all of this, power lines on the property, billboards on surrounding roads, drainage/irrigation ponds, houses, etc., should be avoided if possible and their impact minimized when they are impossible to avoid. They can't always be avoided.
Jeff Brauer-please explain to me the Dog-leg par 3 concept; it is beyond my present comprehension.
