Investy. St Andrews has several courses. There are some holes on the famous Old Course that are flat - though perhaps undulating with hidden bunkers would be a more apt description. Placement of your drive is key (you really don't want to be in those bunkers.) There's certainly some holes where there is a fair bit of elevation, like the famous Road Hole (17.) From memory the white tee is elevated with perhaps 100 to 150 yards before the fairway. Professionals cut out a dog leg and drive over a factory on this hole - I'm sure you'll know the one.

I'm just hoping that water help 'break up' the Championship course at Saidia. Courses where you feel you are just going up and down don't cut it and that course is hemmed in on all sides (fits into rectangular plot.) The course needs to be challenging. That means water traps, good bunkers, heavy rought, hard to read greens etc.
