I guess you would have to "call your shot" on the tee box, and tough luck if you call one hole and "ace" the other.
I've played many courses with two cups per green. Most of them were nine hole courses that also had two teeing locations so the nines could be played twice as an eighteen hole layout. Some holes were par four on one nine and par five on the other. Different colored flags for each nine. Also the Old Course at St Andrews has seven double greens, so it is an old concept. Larger holes is not an old concept, and this iteration is a marketing ploy by Taylor Made to boost interest and therefore sales.
