IS this perhaps a course that is largely designed just to look good rather than be good?
A course has to look good before it can be good.

Thanks to Josh again for starting this thread. I found the P Cup very interesting to watch from both a gca point of view and the urban/ocean setting. 


Niall C hijacked this thread, but before he gets away I'd like to ask who was Jack's "local" designer?  Who came up with the Alison Hirono bunkers and trees (albeit with the fun filled artificial rock walls)?   Jack must have agreed with the "look" right?  But did he have knowledge of Hirono/Kawana at the time or even now?  Or does no one agree with me?  Lot's of questions.


BTW can anyone post a plan of the layout?

I'm not surprised the players really liked the course because it looks like it has the same attribute as the rest of the JN courses I've played.....very difficult.
 
P.S.  I'm not a fan of faux rock outcroppings in general, but those ones are some of the best fakes I've seen....

Thanks Steve.  I should have been able to figure that this club had a website.  I also should have had the plan printed out for watching the PC.  Symmetrical plan possible only when you have control of the entire site at one level.  Still would like a response if anyone knows the design background regarding Alison looking bunkering and trees.
