Hard to see Trump Doral as top 100. Pine Tree is arguably better just up the road. I don't have a problem with Erin Hills dropping out. Its good but its not in the same league as The Creek, Mountain Lake or Old Town IMO.

Erin Hills will leap back in after 2017-hard for me to see what people dislike about it
Trump Doral maybe top 100 in Florida

Jeff,  How many times have you played EH? Did you find the number of blind shots to be an issue? Did you like the bunkering? Did you find it a pretty tough walk? I look at the property and think they could have gotten a Shinnecock or Prairie Dunes out of it- it was a blank slate. Instead they created a good but not great course. I've played each version a couple of times and would agree it is better than when first built but it is far from top 100 . Maybe top 200? You are certainly correct that it is going to get a bump after the Open.
