In reply #3 Tom mentions the visual element of design. He has also said many times that it is not surprising so many of the highly ranked modern courses are on large bodies of water. I think he gets the idea eye candy.

Pacific is his #1, duh

My implicit point was that Dornoch is VERY seaside and gets bonus points in most minds for that reason, even though it’s layout wins on the merits otherwise. [size=78%]  Hoylake is on the borderline in terms of seaside exposure.   Never played it but I don’t think you can see the seaside from more than few holes.  [/size]

So your distinction is really about visual elements rather than golf?

TD, you cannot separate the 2, just like life

Grey,

Old Head Golf Links is the place for you should you head to Ireland.

To qualify, I would say a course needs to have at least 4-5 holes directly on the sea.

Man, this is your poll, so get rid of the conditional "would" and give a definitive "say"! Yes, I'm shouting.

This shit just got real.
