Really interesting article.  I'm sure that is something a course like TPC Sawgrass would love to have engineered but it would have been impossible on that parcel.

I never thought I'd ever read something "would have been impossible" involving Pete Dye.

That's a really good story by JPN. I always though the hillside had a great deal to do with it. The place is a golf course in a concert hall. Don't forget there's also a ridge behind the 12-to-16 valley to help reflect the sound even more. You can hear a roar on 16 standing behind the first green. It's cool.
