Had these threads in the past and they are always fun to learn about what people like and don't. What are some of your favorite designers and why?

Donald Ross - play a lot of his courses in MA/Carolinas enjoy the layout
Nicklaus (don’t @@@ me) how he sets up the holes with options for my game - I generally score well
Palmer similar to the above
Dye - i like a kick in the nuts once in a while
First two are my favorites as well. I love Ross designs, and Nicklaus usually lets you miss with the driver and make it up on approach which is music to my ears.
But Ross courses are my favorite. We’re lucky to have two of my favorite layouts here to play for cheap money.

I wish you could have made it CT when we played Gillette Ridge with @scarnici and @ddec such a fun layout - I think you'd like it
I'd go there again with no hesitation
What course have you played that Jack lets you get away missing driver haha. Ive only played a few of his courses though, and none are very accepting if you can't get off the tee decently (accuracy wise not distance)
I think more of what I’m getting at is you usually don’t have to hit a spot with your drive to have a chance at the hole - risk-reward plays a factor. You can go the “easy” way, miss a bit and you’re looking at a harder approach where maybe birdie is a tough ask but you can stay in the hole or match. I like his approach.

I've played 5 of his courses one it's been forever and I was terrible so I can't speak to that one.
Hammock Ocean Course
PGA National Champion Course
Ocean Edge Resort
Pinehills
All of these courses I felt weren't that penal on the holes where driver was required - based on the tees and my landing area due to my distance - on poor tee shots I still had a shot at making par on fantastic aggressive driver shots birdie was in play more often than not.
I gotcha.
Sorry didn’t mean to have my reply to you come off as condescending if it did. I reread it and saw that it definitely could have been taken as Such haha.

We have 4 public muni's in Louisville designed by AW Tillinghast. While they are not maintained like a private club, the layout on all 4 courses is really interesting. They all have long and short par 3's and 4's, interesting dogleg's, tree placement, and green complexes. They also all have a par 5 that is just super long and one that is reachable. Really cool courses that I always enjoy playing and will challenge you no matter your handicap.
Palmer, Coore and Crenshaw, and Arthur Hills locally.
