I recall being disappointed with HT last time I played it, several years ago at an ASGCA meeting. Made the trip on my own much earlier because it was the "it" course. I was enthralled with the Dye features, and didn't notice the narrowness, although, the trees might have grown in a bit in the decade(s?) in between, but my second play, it was a bowling alley.
Forget which architects I played with, but one of them made the comment that while Pete's courses looked Scottish, they didn't really play that way. There was so much contours in the approach areas that no one was really tempted to try the bump and run.
Overall, though, I am sure Pete was glad to have such an out of the norm course (for him, later) in his portfolio. I recall Pete telling me on several occasions that whatever RTJ was doing, he was going to do the opposite, i.e., RTJ had big rolling greens, so he was going to do small flatter ones, etc.
