In search of the Poor Man's Masters

I have had cause to mention Dancing Rabbit GC's Azalea course before. Now it crops up again, this time due to a timely if daunting comparison to no less than Augusta National.

And once again, it fares well visually. Scroll down to find several more photographs here.

It made me wonder if any other courses made so bold as to claim a general, as opposed to partial resemblance to Georgia's finest. Here, in descending order of justification, are a few thrown up by Googling the phrase "reminiscent of Augusta":

1. Hilton Head National, South Carolina. They say, "Playing in the Spring months, Hilton Head National is reminiscent of Augusta National, with wide green fairways, and Azalea bushes and other shrubs." We say "getting warm". Tenuousness Rating *
2. Cambrian Ridge (The Loblolly Nine), Alabama. They say, "exudes a stately, Augusta-like quality". We say "white sand and a few more trees and we're starting to feel it" . Tenuousness Rating **
3. The Parklands at The Legends GC, South Carolina (more pics here). They say, "modeled after the style of Alister Mackenzie reminiscent of Augusta National & Pine Valley". We say "we're getting a bit more Pine than cathedral-in-the-pines." Tenuousness Rating ***
4. Rolling Oaks, Florida (pictures here). They say, "a landscape reminiscent of Augusta National (including Azaleas!)". We say "it starts and ends with the azaleas". Tenuousness Rating ****
5. Real Club de Golf Campoamor, Spain. They say "The sculptured greens and fairways of Campoamor are reminiscent of Augusta". We say "...and everything else is reminiscent of, er, Spain". Tenuousness Rating *****
