It is not the reverent quiet of Augusta or the sea-wind drama of Pebble Beach. It is something drier and more unsettling. The course feels stripped back, almost indifferent, as if the architecture is daring you to find the trouble before it finds you. That is the Donald Ross effect, and ninety years after he finished the routing for the final time he continues to be the sharpest teacher in American golf.</p>
