Southern Oaks had the potential to be a faux links course, but as many mentioned, Villagers wouldn't want to play there, if they had fescue and pot bunkers.

Wide open, susceptible to wind variations, featureless terrain ... it had it all, other than an ocean. Instead, they built a golf course that plays like an airport with flags.
