There has to be more to determining the quality of a routing than the green to tee walks and the obviousness of the location of the next tee.
Mark:
I'd agree; routing of course is far more important in finding quality holes, and finding a variety of quality holes. The best courses I've seen in this regard are ones in which the routing yields both quality and variety, and in addition feels akin to a pleasant "walk in the park." Not that that walk shouldn't be vigorous; some very good routings on courses move over rugged terrain (aerials of Augusta National suggest this, as do reports of places like Ballyneal or Sand Hills). But the walk along the way should feel natural and intuitive -- that it makes perfect sense that this would be the place to go (or, in golfing terms, the next hole to play).
The best example I can think of to contrast EHills is Milwaukee CC, where the routing yields some really good holes over quite good terrain (the downhill tee shot of #1 right next to the clubhouse, the subtly rising par 3 4th, the excellent sequence of 8-9-10 over some of the most interesting terrain there, the "river" holes on the back nine, and the tremendous finish of the long par 3 17th and stout par 4 18th.) Importantly, all of the holes really do seem to flow from one to the next -- there is only one slight walkback (from 1 green to 2 tee, obvious when walking down 1 fairway to the green), and one crossover in which the player crosses one tee to get to another (players walk around the 2nd tee from the 16th green to get to the 17th tee -- and it's a short walk; the 17th tee sits right next to the 2nd tee a few feet away.) Even transitions from one section of the course to another (you walk across the course's entrance road to get from 4 green to 5 tee) and the transitions over the river are quite obvious and actually enjoyable, even though they are some of the longer walks, because Alison placed tees next to greens and then asked the player to hit over the river.
In short, the routing at Milwaukee CC yields both solid and interesting holes, and a pleasant journey along the way. EHills' routing yields alot of good holes, and some truly excellent ones, but what I'd characterize as a disjointed "walk." Thus, in my mind, the routing is not as good as what you'd find at Milwaukee CC.
