Well, all points are true, really.
Like Ocean Course (been years since I played, but I am really one of those course collectors, rarely go back to famous courses like that, and not really on my way to anywhere)
It is mostly the same Pete Dye holes. I will disagree that Dye had 18 templates he used over and over again...... Perry Dye once told me Pete had 19 template holes to work from......
As to the manufactured look, well, he started out kind of a minimalist, but as he was required to top himself, somewhere along the way went the other direction, moving massive amounts of earth to be more spectacular. Pete often tells the story that a hurricane destroying the dunes during construction gave him the perfect opportunity to rebuild them to his needs, whereas they had been protected ground before that.
