I do not put a lot of stock in looks/aesthetics/beauty in assessing the quality/enjoyment of a course. However, it did occur to me that I have a natural affinity for the look of a sweeping dog leg left from a tee that enables me to see the sweep of the hole. It was looking at a photo of Swinley Forest 9 that prompted the thought. It is a favorite hole; it is strategic; but my view is heavily influenced by the look. The same for Mid Pines 12 which may have my favorite bunker anywhere.
