The bunker names on the Old Course are part of the mystique! You can't walk past Hell Bunker without a grin that you are walking past!
Agreed - well pretty much. Road hole is the only one of those that is widely known imo and would be a 'tough but nothing special' on any other hole or green!Not sure I agree with that. Lots of people might recognise they are St Andrews bunkers but probably wouldn't know which was which.

But an icon to (or of) what! The tournament is compelling viewing, but 'the idiots' aren't! Perhaps LIV could create something similar, but thankfully the shotgun start precludes it!

Indeed, but as a temporary structure I have to judge it's claim to "iconic landmark" status as a tad tenuous. Honourable mention, though.
And is it really 'worthy of veneration' as per dictionary definitionIts instantly recognisable to any fan of golf and widely recognised as that hole with the stadium around it to many with little or no interest in golf.

I posted a picture of this hole yesterday. For some reason it was deleted
Maybe not a golfing landmark
in a way it is as this specific view is I suggest instantly recognisable
so in its own way absolutely iconic.
In that case I guess that you never watched what little golf there was on TV in the 70s and early 80s...and indeed may not know the golf course and the hills and glen (that's a clue) behind, and perhaps the glen is the landmark that for many on here will trigger fond TV and great 'golfer watching' memories.No
Not to me
Don't think so
Sorry
Especially considering who the OP is.To eachhistheir own.
