Unfortunately the only thing going for many courses which host The Open is the history.
Watching Watson and Nicklaus coming up the 18th fairway at St Andrews do stir the flagging memory.

The Masters though is out on its own, in my opinion, regarding being a spectacle, it also has a rich history and many of the older courses are looking tired.

I would say though that even though The Open might not be great watching sometimes due to the weather, it does throw up different challenges for the players.
This has to be a good thing.
