Headed across the Cumberland River this afternoon to Bells Bend to pick up some fescue sod. Got me to thinking, on a large expanse of totally flat turf, with no options to add bunkering, what 18 greens in America would you replicate/emulate if you were to site them permanently on 150 acres or so. You can push up the greens and the surrounds as well, say within 10 yards or so of the putting surface. Don't worry about drainage. I'll start with 16 that I've played, then you add your two favorites:
National Golf Links of America #1
Talking Stick North #2 (obviously playing down the property boundary)
The Ocean Course #3
Rustic Canyon #4
Glens Falls #5
Cuscowilla #5
Spyglass Hills #4 (build up the front to create the downward slope and ring the green with low mounding)
Yale #8 (ok, so I'll have to move quite a bit of dirt)
Beverly CC #8
Blue Mound #10
Knoll West #11 (the bicycle seat)
Hill Course at French Lick #13
Fenway #15
Yeamans Hall #16
Forsgate #16
Pebble Beach #17 (push up the green a couple of feet, then hollow out the left side a few feet to create a bit of a punchbowl back there).
Your two?
