Outside of the Wynn in Las Vegas, is there any great waterfall on a great course?

Meadows Farms Golf Course, Locust Grove, VA has a waterfall hole. Here's a link

http://www.meadowsfarms.com/golf/watrfall.htm to the scorecard for the "Waterfall Nine". 1st - it's not a great course. 2nd - it's not a great waterfall; in fact, I think it's a manmade waterfall, not a natural one. It's been a few years since I've played this course so I'm not sure which hole is the waterfall hole, but am pretty sure it's #4 on the Waterfall Nine. And, of course, I don't have a snapshot of the hole. IIRC, the waterfall is just in front of the green.

It's a pretty gimmicky course. Baseball diamond hole. Waterfall hole. Longest hole (845yards). Plus a few other gimmicky holes I don't recall right now.

There is a private club in Banner Elk, N.C. called Diamond Creek. The 17th hole sits right in front of a huge rock quarry with a little bit of water that flows about 7-10 stories down. There are no pictures available that I know of, but this golf course is magnificant.

edit: Here is an article with some pictures, unfortunately not of the 17th hole.

      My Swing (saevel25)

      By saevel25 · Posted

      First round at Quail Ridge: 47 + 47 = 94 *Note: It was 25+ mph winds with gust in the 35+ mph. It was also around 58 degrees. I felt like I was out in Oregon. The greens were very firm.  Driver was decent. It didn't cause me an issues.  Irons were the biggest issue. Just low point control was lacking. Mostly on the chunky side. Also, my irons were routinely 20-30 yards shorter than normal. Even on holes with a cross wind, the ball was just dying. We played an extra 9 holes after the first 18, and the wind died down by then. I stepped into a 9 iron, and it came up 15 yards short. I have no clue what is going on. I should not be hitting 9 irons 140 yards when I am hitting my driver 300 to 310 yards.  Warmup didn't give me much confidence. I just kept shanking every other iron shot. I didn't shank an iron during the round. I just felt all out of sorts today. Coordinate felt off.  yea, I have no idea if I am purposely slowing down my swing to feel my downswing piece. Again, I hit a decent 9 iron and lost 15 yards of carry. I hope this is just an off day.
