Will,

I think you should care. The architect has lots of ardent supporters here.

Perhaps I should detail the hole a little more. The hole is fairly forgiving for high handicappers as there is lots of room left to drive into and open up an angle into the green. Hopefully, the picture clearly depicts that the more you try to bite off and fail, the more you are penalized.

I don't remember that or any holes that were so open.

From what I can gather from one picture, there is a hole very similar to this at the Pete Dye inspired Mission Hills course at Hainan.

I always thought Weiskopf's specialty was the driveable par 4.

I like his stuff but he doesn't get much mention on here.

Garland,

Knowing your good taste, I knew it had to have some architectural merit...but that pic just isn't attractive nor does it make the hole look at all interesting.

Garland,

Knowing your good taste, I knew it had to have excellent designer and some architectural merit...but that pic just isn't attractive nor does it make the hole look at all interesting.  I'll have to check out the website.  As a former Bandon caddie who LOVES Trails, I am a huge Crenshaw/Coore fan for the record.

Cheers

I certainly didn't claim it had an "excellent designer and some architectural merit". I simple wrote that the architect had ardent supporters.

And who says I have good taste? I have a particular taste. No ponds! ;)

All suggested architects are incorrect so far.

Hint:
I have only played golf west of the Mississippi River (if we agree to ignore Addis Abeba CC).

Sorry Garland, I thought the Coore reply was from you and was the answer!!!!!!!  I've modified my reply to you accordingly - magically traveling back in time!  Do I need to modify my observation about your taste? ;)

Hainan would certainly be west of the Mississippi.

The architect features this par 3 green on his website.

Is that another double green with the 18th on the left and the 9th on the right, wrapped around the lake?

If so, it's a dead ringer for Grand  Cypress in Orlando, a Nicklaus design known for its punitive nature.  

But could be one of the Dyes.

Whoops, should have read the OP a bit more carefully!

Not a Dye, not a Fought.

Although I lied about only playing west of the Mississippi since St. Paul and suburbs are east of the Mississippi, I can also say I have not played in Iowa, Missouri, Arkansas, Nebraska, Kansas, Oklahoma, and Texas. Nor, have I played in Wyoming, Colorado, Nevada, or Arizona.
