There were several courses that missed the final cut of the T&L Golf piece I wrote that a few of you have linked to. Smyers's Asherwood was one -- it's reversible, played from both directions. Larry Bird plays there alot. Rick Dees, the DJ, has a nine-holer he calls Sweetbrier on his farm in Kentucky, though he doesn't like that known because the land is zoned for agricultural use. Also Arnold Palmer built a course just outside Charlottesville -- nine holes, but from different tee boxes, each hole can be played twice from different angles and yardages -- for former Metromedia owner John Kluge's estate; he lost the property -- and the golf course -- to his wife in their divorce. Phillip Anschutes had an executive course on his estate in northeast Colorado. Jerry Rich built Rich Harvest for himself in Illinois, but it's more in the Floridian and Sanctuary category. I seem to remember Coore and Crenshaw noodling over the potential of an estate course for the Papa John's pizza owner, I think in Kentucky, as well. I don't know if it was ever actually built.
Personally, Blixseth's course was a hoot to play, especially the long par 3 on the back with the tee box up the mountain. For the sheer marvel of putting a full 18-hole experience into a compressed piece of yard, Three Ponds Farm was pretty amazing. I didn't get up to Canada to play McBroom's design, but did have a long conversation with him. The pictures were spectacular.
