Tim:
You know, you may have got me there. I am thinking, but I realize I haven't played a Fazio course in so long I cannot tell you about one. I intentionally avoid Fazio courses.
Wait, how about the 16th at The Vintage in Indian Wells? Uphill par 4 which could have had a natural run up to reach the green, but as I recall one must hit left to have any chance of run up, otherwise huge carry up hill.
But again you got me, I think it is a George and Tom Fazio design and I never saw the land before construction commenced. However the green site looks artifically built-up.
My point may have been poorly worded. I tried to say that it appears that the land has been moved or appears contrived when one looks at a Fazion design. Rounded and curvey is does not appeal to my eye (in golf). Seen plenty of pictures in magazines. Many love the look, I don't. Just use the site as you find it. If that doesn't work then go to another site. Since I only see Pelican Hill in Corona Del Mar from PCH, haven't played it, maybe I should keep my lips zipped on Fazio courses.
