Thumbprint on the Side of a green?

A NLE executive course in Destin FL featured a green with a small Raynoresque thumbprint on the side of the green. Anyone seen such elsewhere?

I'm thinking of the 5th green at The Charleston Muni, of which I have a video, but no picture.

Jack Nicklaus built a ton of those in the 80s [minus the raised part of the thumbprint, just the sharp hollow].  None of them were reminiscent of something Seth Rayner would have built.

Nicklaus’ Richland CC in Nashville has a green with that feature which is a sloping v-shaped runoff instead of a sem-circle that is pinnacle.

The sixth hole at Whippoorwill has this, and how. One of the most exciting greens I have ever played.

Isn't number 5 at Somerset Hills a thumb and forefinger print?

#3 at Essex County (ross original), a long par 5, is similar.  Some people call it a bathtub.

Bogey,


The little course right next to Emerald Bay?  I never played it in my trips down there.
