My short game is much better than my full swing which may be one reason I like the stereotypical Donald Ross course that gives you downhills and generous landing areas for tee shots, bunkers but perhaps not as threatening as they look on approaches and unexpected tricky features on and around the greens. It dovetails with my game.
That said, I prefer a course that actually plays easier than it appears to. The greens are the only places I enjoy unexpected difficulties. I've played a couple of courses that our own Paul Cowley contributed to the design of and found a bit of "plays easier than it looks" on them, to his credit IMO. The Love/Cowley course The Patriot on Lake Greenwood, SC has some wider-than-it-looks and shorter-than-it-looks holes from tee to green but many plateau and semi-plateau greens that are well designed. That's a good combination in my book.
