They do that by getting the details right. Their "template" holes are set up by bunker placement not green contour. Other people just reproduce the same green over and over. I'd rather play C & C holes, which all stand up to repeated play. I think it must be on purpose, but the holes all play different. They do that by getting the details right.

If I went around only playing C & C courses (or MacD Raynor) would it get a little repetitive? Maybe, but it would be a good life. They are all great holes and hold up to repeated playing.

Good eye. The twelfth at Chechessee is a great short four. The central bunker makes putting your tee shot on the correct side of the fairway an imperative even if you are likely hitting a wedge into the green. I think the main differenve between it and other C & C models is that it is a push up green and therfore missing left or long makes for a very difficult up and down. The green is also more contoured than some of their other versions, with a distinct back right shelf. i have seen (my partner in a playoff) putt into the central bunker. #12 is flat-out a great hole.
