Kyle,
The most famous feature of Highland Links is the 115 yard 9th hole, the green is two tiered from high right to low left. The rest of the greens have evolved to nothing more than disks; the course could be catagorized as both rugged and primative. The 2cnd is good, 480 yd down through a valley, with a well bunkered green. The soil is sandy, firm and dry, probably more from neglect than intent. It's had many revisions over the years and probably has very few original features really. I can't think of any features that evoke the period it claims to be from.
Strangely enough 30 miles back towards the armpit of the Cape is Little Marion GC; George Thomas's first design in 1906. It has many unique features which are quite original. There are stone walls that surround greens, and berms, rocks covered with earth, both perpendicular and parallel to play. It certainly fits the Steeple Chase School of architecture; everything is very rectangular, we used to call it the "Indian Burial Grounds". There is a blind aproach to the par 4 1st and a right angle dog leg 2cnd. The 9th has the best feature a 100 yard par 3 with a 10 foot high bunker built up against a rock wall to protect the green.
