Perhaps an interesting question would be what architects have been successful at making a small property feel big, and what techniques did they use to acheive this? How do some architects make a course play longer than the yardage? Is it almost automatic that the architect wisely avoids the par 72 temptation, to make it play bigger than the yardage? What do these successful small property designs have in common?
Pasatiempo...6400 yards. Plays considerably longer.
Pacific Dunes...6500 yards. Obviously plays longer due to wind.
Cruden Bay...6400 yards.
Caledonia & Tobacco Road were also big feeling designs on small plots of land.
One common thread of the above courses would be big features. Be it dunes, bunkering or contouring.
