There has been an amazing trend in the last 10 years of returning width, green size, and bunkering to great courses- Shinnecock, Pinehurst, Southern Hills, LACC come to mind, but there are more examples. What courses, returned to their original setups (with modern lengths if necessary), would you most like to play in 2K21? I put three of my top choices in the poll, but would love to hear everyone's answers! I've become obsessed with old photos of Pebble Beach. The bunkering us as beautiful as it is impractical for such a busy course. That said, I think we could replicate this bunkering in 2K21 without any problem!

A cool concept ...
Will we average 2K players actually be able to enjoy them as intended, what with the in-game mechanics ? Play with limited bag ?? The digital ball is still a problem.
Of course, Pebble gets my vote. Played a match at the 'Bing Crosby' last night, told my opponent that IRL, he could play on after 8 - that second shot, I could hit all day long. Personally 6-7-8 there is my favorite stretch in golf for some reason. 5 very different shots in a row in perfect locations.

Yeah I think you could still lengthen the courses to suit modern equipment and retain the playing angles, but bring everything else back to original specs. I think green speeds are one of the least talked about major changes. If you watch this old match between Sneak and Nicklaus on Pebble (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qMnrQYyxOho), these greens can't be running over an 8. Surprised no one has chosen Augusta yet- I would LOVE to see what that would look like returned to the original design.

Probably why no ANGC votes here ...
