Course access (poll)
If you follow the reviews here you've probably seen them all.
People who complain about a course being wa-a-a-ay off the beaten path, people who love it when they're fa-a-a-ar away from the city, people who complain when the course is right off the freeway, people who love doing drive-bys. And naturally, people who don't care one way or another. So here's the question: How does course accessibility affect YOUR evaluation of the course? Or does it? Vote early, vote often

Proximity to the freeway is a mixed bag. If you can get to the course FAST, that's great. If the freeway (and all its noise and pollution) border the course, it's no good.
The best answer I can give is: "It depends"

Being close to a highway doesn't bother me because I am used to it. The courses that I call my home courses are right off I-40. A few holes are within 100' or so of the interstate.
I wouldn't care to drive to the middle of nowhere to play either. I do that for a few ball golf courses that I play.

Aesthetics matter to me, so right off the freeway is less peaceful, less pleasant, less desirable. EXCEPT, of course, as a stopover on a longer drive, when that same course is convenient and most desirable.

Doesn't factor into my evaluation, at least, in terms of driving distance or accessibility.
Having the interstate right next to a coursr usually means more wind and noise, sure, but I like to wave at people on #4's teepad. Pros and cons.

I don't drive, so wherever I can get people to take me is where I go. I like the secluded courses better, but play "whatever's closer" more often due to chronological and financial restrictions.
