I grew up in New Jersey playing a Van Etten/Ross changed course. My dad was a golf pro and I was able to go play many of the very good courses in the state. I was spoiled, and loved architecture. Drawing courses in notebooks, holes in the borders of note paper in class ( not a great student you can imagine).
My brother made it to the finals of the Crump Cup when I was about 14. And I walked the course while he played. At that age I was amazed at the place. I also remember thinking there was always a scale to the difficulty with an excess of room on some particularly difficult areas and ultimate precision in others. It was eye opening, the difference to me as a kid from all the courses I had played
Later as I traveled and got to play more, it was amazing that the course I never got tonokay always was the course that sticks in my mind.
Since your opinion is more equal than others', you want to hazard a guess?
Assume a 72 hole event set up like most PGAT courses--an extra foot or more of green speed, hide a few flags each day, etc.
What score wins at PVGC?
No chance I answer without disagreeing on the very first line!
Hard greens, just beyond firm, no rain, normal winds, a lot of low scores , but likely a few others that would keep the field spread. Even when my brother played way back when, he regularly used a 1 iron, and I seem to remember Sigel hitting a lot of 4 woods. Because of the ability to hit a lot of layups, without going to silly hole locations I feel like the scoring would be pretty low at top of the board.
US Open hard greens and hidden pins, the difficulty of controlling distances in to shallow targets would produce some ugly moments for players.
If it was soft, no wind, scores that would piss off a lot of people
