Genetically combine 2 courses to make a better course

Jason Thurman:
Imagine if you could blend Erin Hills and Cape Arundel to produce a delightfully quirky, championship-caliber but sporting test of golf. Hopefully get Cape Arundel's glorious tidal river setting, but a little more of Erin Hills' topography. Find a Mama Bear sort of Just Right scale. Could you even handle the righteousness of the funk?


What other courses do you wish you could mix up genetically?

Ira Fishman:
The dunes at Ballybunion Old and the greens at Woking.


The setting at Crail Balcomie and the routing at Pasatiempo.


The holes along the cliffs at Bandon Dunes with those at Pacific Dunes.


The scale at Yale with the intimacy of Mid Pines.

Jeff_Brauer:
Presumably the tournament rotation at Royal Melbourne?

Tom_Doak:
The project I’ve just finished at St Patrick’s was originally 36 holes years ago, and I’ve taken all the best bits of land to route one 18-hole course.  But it’s got my DNA on it now.

Sean_A:
I don't need to dream about two two different properties. Combine the 18s at Enville to make a great 18.

Ciao
