Oh, and I guess I agree. But I think that would make it all the more fun to play.

Year in and year out I don't know of too many more par 3 golf holes that are discussed as much. The 12th at Augusta, the 7th at Pebble, the 17th at Sawgrass.
I think it's a great golf hole, scary, challenging, diabolical in it's simplicity, these guys are the best in the world and this shot scares them to the point of cotton mouth and loss of sphincter control, and that's when there is no wind.
Ps. come over to my neck of the woods and I'll show you a real island green.

How is it 'Gimmicky'?
It's a fairly large green, although getting it on the correct level AND side makes it smaller.
Just more tour players whining when they run into a situation where a makeable birdie putt isn't an automatic.
Tough *feces*, says I, and who really gives a crap what hole it is.

As far as it being gimicky, I have no opinion.
But it is a challenging hole. These guys are the best in the world, and if they played for the middle of the green, they'd probably have no problem. However, in any given situation, ie. needing a birdie, these guys go flag-hunting and that's when they get into problems.
At one of the courses here, we've got an island green and it's fun to play. It certainly adds an element of collar-tightening not found on the 17 other holes.
