History has not been kind to the Rees Jones style of course design. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickK Posted January 16, 2022 Share Posted January 16, 2022 Yep. Pretty sad. I have played a number of Rees Jones courses and for the most part enjoyed them and found them very playable.

fixyurdivot Posted January 17, 2022 Share Posted January 17, 2022 Had not heard about this, thanks for sharing. Not really finding the "why" answered in any detail, I started looking around and found this article which provides a bit more information.

Many landing areas pinched on both sides of the fairway. Many pushed up or elevated greens or pressed up to a pond. Bunkers on both sides of most greens. Mounding framing holes. Decent courses but not a lot of variety and not among my favorites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
