Joe Lee doesn't get much airtime on this board, possibly because so many of the posters here consider his work to be representative of the so-called "dark ages" in American golf course architecture - too much water, flashed bunkers, not enough strategy. That said, he designed a great number of courses and many of them are still played today.
I'm most interested in his green and bunker styles. Can anyone point out to me courses which retain the original Joe Lee visual and playing characteristics. I've been through Ron Whitten's books but, since it was written, many of the courses mentioned have been renovated and much of the Lee style removed. I'm particularly interested in greens and bunker styles.
Bent Pine, a course in Vero Beach which I have not seen, would seem to fall into that group. High Ridge and Turtle Creek, both of which I have seen, would not.
