TD - I'm glad they are there, those bunker-less greens. I'm very glad you built The Loop. It's not a stretch (or flattery) to predict that in years to come the reputation/regard for those "overlooked" greens and for the course as a whole will just keep rising. We talk often here about courses that reward multiple plays and that stand the test of time. Well, one of the ways those goals are achieved (though not a very common way, these days) is via a golf course that doesn't immediately jump to the top of the ranking lists, and to create golf holes that don't automatically impress or get raved about. It stands to reason, doesn't it? If a course/golf holes actually do have depth and subtlety and hidden charms, those qualities simply will not be recognized by first timers or hit-and-runners; and even astute and thoughtful observers (especially those who have played your other, more 'dramatic' golf courses) will likely first notice/focus on what The Loop doesn't do instead of what it does do. But that's okay, particularly at this point in your career; you've earned the right to be patient, and the reputation that will sustain/protect The Loop just as it is, for years to come. (Sadly, if you were a first time architect early in his career, I don't think a course like The Loop would be given a chance to show its true worth over time). I'm telling you: while whatever course Ian A was talking about in his "pandering" thread will see it stock fall in years to come, as the conventional wisdom/consensus opinion catches up to Ian's current POV, The Loop's understated qualities will be more and more appreciated. IMO, looking back you'll be particularly proud that a course like The Loop is part of your portfolio/legacy.
