Maybe it is because it is contrived, but I hate "fake" island holes. I am probably a lessor man for that opinion.
I think island holes should have an option to lay-up to a safer zone, then an easy putt for a potential 3, or a sure thing 4. So a daring soul could go for the 2, with consequences. But a wuss can get a fairly guaranteed 4.
My problem with fake island holes is there is a very real chance for 5's and 6's and 7's and 8's. Just seems really gimmicky to me. But then again, I'm the wuss that opts for the safe 4 over the possible 2.
