However, six-time PGA Tour event winner Mahan has given it perhaps the most brutal assessment of all by comparing it to the Kardashians.
Speaking to The Athletic about the course, the 42-year-old said: "I guess I would say Quail Hollow is like a Kardashian.
"It's very modern, beautiful and well-kept.
"But it lacks a soul or character."

Reacting to the stunning swipe on social media, one user said: "That felt personal between Hunter and Quail."
A second said: "That might be the nastiest thing I've heard anyone say about a golf course."
A third added: "Get him in the announcers booth ASAP."
The criticism comes down to many believing that many holes on the course are very similar and without despite being a wonderful area to play.

Mahan is not the only star to criticise the course.
On Wednesday, Masters champion Rory McIlroy said: "I thought it was going to feel different just because it was a major championship and I got out on the golf course yesterday, and it felt no different than last year at the Wells Fargo.

"By the looks of it, it's pristine as always."

Mum-of-two with 36D boobs shares the ‘best bras' she's ‘EVER worn' – and they're just £3 each
She couldn't resist getting two of the bras as they're so good BRA-GAIN Mum-of-two with 36D boobs shares the 'best bras' she's 'EVER worn' – and they're just £3 each Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) A MUM-OF-TWO has shared the £3 bra that's among the best she's "ever worn" - and you can get it on your local high street. Sophie is a size 36D, and suffers with back pain due to being top heavy. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Mum-of-two Sophie said she's found the best bra ever for her 36D frame Credit: bargainlovingmam/tiktok 3 And they're just £3 from Poundland Credit: bargainlovingmam/tiktok 3 She couldn't believe how cheap the bras are considering they're so good Credit: bargainlovingmam/tiktok But rather than spending tonnes on a bra to fit, Sophie explained her favourites are from her local Poundland - and cost just £3. "Poundland has something that I'm gonna put you ladies on to that you will be thanking me for," she said in a video on her TikTok page. She then held up the bras - one black and one white - as she raved about the budget buy. "They are some of the best bras I have worn," she continued. "These and the cotton ones they do - exceptional. "I think they go up to like a DD and an E, but I'm a 36D and they're phenomenal. "If you haven't got onto the Poundland bra hype - actually the Poundland clothes hype - that section is absolutely cracking!" "Poundland must have and it's only £3!" Sophie captioned her video. "Since having my kids I've struggled to find decent bras," one person wrote in the comments section. "Bloody going down there now lol. Walkthrough Poundland's first £1million store "Hope they have my busty E size!" "Running there right now I've been looking for a good bra for ages!" "Honestly they are so good!" Sophie replied. "I struggle with back pain from mine and these have sorted it!" "Get the Poundland app girl," a third advised. "When you spend so much you get vouchers every month, so could even get a free 1 a month!" An ex employee on Poundland's prices Holly Laing, 22, from Northampton, has revealed she used to work in Poundland and often heard customers say the same annoying thing. Holly claimed she worked for Poundland in 2015 for three months as a Christmas temp. She said that customers would get annoyed when products cost more than £1 individually. In a comical video, Holly acted out a scenario that often occurred on her shift at the bargain store, where customers were always baffled and irritated that items could cost over £1. Holly uploaded her video with the caption "I heard this a lot" as she said: 'POV: Not everything's £1 in Poundland'. Holly explained that customers would often say to her: 'But this is the pound shop, is it not?' "That's very misleading, I'll only pay for that if it's a pound.' 'Disgusting, what a rip off." Poundland currently has a 70% off sale running in stores, where everything included is £5 or under. And the store is becoming increasingly popular for its low-price, high quality clothes - with some people even insisting it's overtaken Primark for its basics. "We've also extended our basics range because we know the importance of having those wardrobe staples that you can rely on year-round," Poundland said on their website. "Our classic T-Shirts and versatile dresses are perfect for mixing and matching with the rest of your wardrobe, giving you easy, everyday options for any occasion. "Whether you're dressing up for a casual outing or keeping it simple for running errands, these essentials are timeless, practical, and affordable."

Finny, who had more than 3,000 subscribers on YouTube, was live streaming when a man, another content creator, came up to him. At least seven shots were fired in footage shared online. Finny's partner could be heard screaming after the shots, yelling, "Are you f**king kidding me?" before the camera was thrown to the ground. Tributes have been paid to the content creator. Devastated pal Derek Ware described Finny as a "good father" and a "friendly guy." "If something was wrong, he would just always check up on me," he told KVVU-TV. "He's donated to people that needed help online." Ware revealed Finny's partner was known as Bubbly and paid tribute to her "infectious" personality. "She would have fun everywhere she went," he said. Cops revealed that the shooter and one of the victims had an argument on social media before the horror unfolded. Manuel Ruiz, 41, turned himself into police hours after shots were fired on the Las Vegas Strip. "At this point, we believe we have the suspect identified and that this is an isolated incident, knowing that the suspect and the victim had previously engaged in some type of conflict using a variety of social media platforms," cops said at the time.
