Somewhere between the pine beetles at IDGC and the announcement for HH, I was in a discussion with someone about the beloved courses that are gone. Which includes far too many of my all-time favorites.
It's a challenge for a private course, particularly if it needs the revenue to be sustained. If it's close to people, the land is expensive; if the land is cheap, it's too distant. It was amazing to watch Mountain Man resurrect Highbridge Hills, but I don't know what his financial position was. It probably needs to be a place that someone buys to live there, and runs the course as an incidental side effort. Even then, it would be a LOT of effort.
