Hollywood is mostly flat. Inwood is very flat...as is Oyster Harbors. Not much elevation change at Chicago or Harbour Town. Some how at Long Cove they created some movement.

Of the NLE Timber Point was a great flat course.

As Ran describes in his profile, Talking Stick North is a great example of what an architect can do with a truly flat site.  The central bunker and  single water hazard features really make one think about where to hit the ball all the way around the course.  Many flat courses are pretty boring, nothing boring about TSN.

Even on flat terrain, like Chicago or Lubbock, the interior contours can create the interesting types of lies, I originally envisioned.

One of the most Humorous fairways I have ever witnessed, from a far, was at the CCOD, Dye's first hole.

Who ever recently posted that aerial of TOC's 12th, illustrated most of my minds eye on this subject.
