Minimalism vs Maximalism

Assignment

Select one golf course associated with the minimalist tradition (Cypress Point, Cabot Cliffs, Sand Hills, or Streamsong Red are good examples) and one associated with the maximalist tradition (TPC Sawgrass, Whistling Straits, or Teeth of the Dog). Research both thoroughly. Write a 500-word comparative architectural analysis: what design philosophy does each embody, what site conditions enabled or constrained each approach, and which course do you find more architecturally significant — and why? Your conclusion must take a clear position with supporting evidence.
