Pat:

You forgot about Emmet, mounds were certainly used frequently.

Is this course actually going to be ultra-exclusive?  I had been hoping to try to play sometime on a reciprocal.

It is very exclusive.  If you can find a way to play it you should as it is special and you'll be hearing a lot more about it in the years to come!  It's Gil's best design to date!

The routing is great. The holes are very diverse and each offers something unique within the course. The back nine was not completed when I visited, so we only played nine. But...walking the unfinished holes was special in itself.

I was perplexed by the short, uphill par-4...I think it would be much more fun on the second+ rounds...as one would have more knowledge of the hidden green. (Which, by the way, is a wonderful and tricky green.) As a short hitter it was almost a handicap to be using tees wayyyy below

with perhaps Sand Hills as an exception, I've never desired/anticipated a return visit to a course more than after experiencing BGC for the first time.......almost sensory overload the first time through....this course is a "poster course" for the gca crowd........lots of intelligent "challenges" on almost every hole.......possible overload, to a degree, but "god bless" the opportunity given to and used by Gil Hanse, who has a  8. or 8.5, Doak scale, for all to see ..

I think Scott Wood said it very well.  

It's an amazing golf course and looks and plays as if it's been there 80 years.

If it's ultra-exclusive, how did GCA'ers get on   :)

(I didn't think we were on anybody's A-list)   ;)

A blind, driveable par four with no bunkers in front? AWESOME.

Boston GC is private and exclusive, but it is not men-only, as far as I know.
