It did make me look up some of my favorite courses and apparently courses in the 6,500 to 8,000 range seem to be my favorites.
Is that courses placed into service that particular year, or does it include courses which extended their length as well?
So, that's like 26 courses? Out of what? Maybe 3,000 or more courses? Still a pretty small percentage of super long courses.

I have worked on 2 extant 10k+ courses (Lions and Raptor's Roost Wing) and am currently working on a third. Lions is still huge in the "short" layout but has 2 shorter courses on site. Wing has 3 sets of tees and 2 baskets per hole and can get as short as roughly 5k ft and has shorter courses at the same site. The new one will have both a shorter layout and a shorter course on site. I am not sure these courses function very well without the shorter options. I don't find either Lions or Wing to be any fun in the long setups but they weren't designed for me to begin with. 8k or so seems to be my preference for play as well.
