Would you rather be watching great architecture or great, exciting golf?  For me it's simple.  These guys are good...

agreed, and with all the rain, good architecture really wouldn't matter

Maybe the architecture is better than we think it is. ;)

These last few holes are good holes but at this point  who really cares.....the Ryder Cup was some of the best tv ever and it was at The Belfry.....not exactly a classic!

I think the architecture is just fine; the conditions haven't helped show it with it being so soft. Certainly the entertainment value today has been very high, especially this odd attempt at a foursome coming up #18!

I think it's more a case of these guys being impervious to architecture--unless there's a healthy dose of PGAT-specific maintenance thrown in.

Narrowed fairways,high rough,extreme hole locations--all those things the members think they want until they play them.

Set up for regular member play,how many courses could hold a PGAT event and have a winning score over 270?
