To me, it's always been a motif, not a template. There's way too much variety in each of those greens and holes.

That's absolutely a template.  It is correct to say they don't always use it the same way, but they've used the green shape on many to most of their courses that I can recall, apart from Kapalua.


Was surprised to see the photo of Te Arai (South) . . . when that was built and when last I saw it, they just had a mound eating into the green, but there wasn't a bunker to start with.

Hidden Creek #11 and Sand Hills 17 are nearly identical.  Short uphill par 3


The bunker scheme for both is exactly the same.  From the member tees HC 11 plays 120 yds. SH from the same tee plays 130 yards


There is a subtle almost imperceptible tilt from right to left on both although the tilt at SH is a tad greater than the one that HC.


If one isn’t paying attention, you can hit your short iron slightly off-line to the right and be in one of the right hand bunkers because of this tilt.

I was about to say NAAAAAHHHH, but if TD says AYE, then it's an aye.

The thing with the MacDonald/Raynor templates was, they were identical, save the Redan/Reverse Redan element. There is flexibility in what C&C Dirt Band have created, so allow me to coin the term FLEMPLATE, to represent the flexible template. It is also spelled PHLEGMPLATE, in other parts of the known world.
