Tullymore is another one that I think only has about 25 bunkers, and five of them are on one hole!

The fewest bunkers I've done on any course is 40 at Quail Crossing in Indiana -- on clay soils and a modest maintenance budget.  I think half of them are on the last three or four holes.  But there are plenty of wild greens to make up for it.

Now at home with a yardage book, Lederach has 16 bunkers on the front side, and 20 on the back.

Tom,
I played Quail Crossing for the first time about ten days ago (and enjoyed it!), and did notice the economy of bunkers--there are several very good holes with no bunkers or just one.

But I am just wondering what greens you would consider "wild". I really liked the 7th and especially the 8th, and thought the 15th, 16th and 18th were excellent as well, but I didn't walk away feeling that any of them were overly bold--certainly interesting, but not wild.

But part of that may be the speed that they were the day I played them, and the fact that the greens at Victoria National (which I played under tournament conditions) were much faster...

P.S.--I would call the 6th and 10th greens at VNGC "wild", probably the wildest I've seen Fazio do--I was pleasantly surprised.

Bountiful and Lake Padden are nice Munis, But I thing AN would have to take the crown.

I'm pretty sure its 42 traps as well.

It's not in the US, but Hockley Vally has to take the crown for Canada.

It doesn't have any traps. Zero. Zip. Nada.
