When we were at Mickelson on the long weekend they had the greens a bit long so we did not find the issues you had. Were they very fast?
I only find the greens difficult if they are crazy fast and undulating but at the expensive of reception. Like Serenity when you can land a 9 iron shot on the front of the green and it rolls off the back..

Back in 2003/2004 I played Heritage Pointe regularly. I would do 40 or 50 rounds a year there. Heritage Pointe is not even close to shaping and sculpting that occurred at Mickelson.
The greens were pretty short, very soft and squishy and pretty inconsistent for speed. I had putts that were right on for weight and some that came up 5 feet short or went 10 feet long. There was on putt, on the second last hole we played, which was that par 3 with the huge sand trap along the right side, where I had to putt the ball off the green to play the break properly. While the greens were soft, large and rolled smoothly there was way too much sculpting. There were some weird knobs and mounds that I felt weren't necessary. One green that we walked passed but didn't play had a 16 inch "wave" running across the middle. It looked like a speed bump across the green. Visually the contouring looks cool but it is not a lot of fun.
