Gib, Neal, Dave (one of Gib's workmates) and I played Pasdadera in 2001(2?). Joel is right that Neal did the original routing of the course (for RM Graves), much of which was retained by the Nicklaus organization (Jim Lipe) when they actually built the course. I personally liked the front 9 (flatland) much better than the back (mountain goat country). The back is more like a nearly vertical Old Head than a golf course. Climbing up the hill you have a 430 yard par-5 which is unreachable to complement the downhill 500 yard par-4 which was a drive a 5 iron for me and probably driver/lob wedge for the really big hitters today.
The real problem with Pasadera is that they tried to build 18 holes on a piece of property which (after the land for housing was accounted for) could only really accommodate a 9-holer. So, like the grand old Duke of York, they made you march your way up the hill and then march you down again to fill out the 18. Anybody buying the place would do well to turn the golf course into a 9-holer or an executive layout and use the mountain holes as lots for McMansions (the views are spectacular). I'd keep the across the canyon 14th as a bye hole and or a mountaineering school.
BTW, the four of us walked the course and carried--the first time it had ever been done according to the bemused/fearful-for-our-life caddy/cart master, and probably the last. And, as said above, the facilities are world-class. Somebody will eventually make a go of the place, but not with the current golf course, IMHO.
