Live Jupiter, Fl, was  4 handicap, played top 100 US, top 75 World. Great memories, no longer play, 4 back surgeries. I don't miss a lot of things about golf, life is simpler with out it. I miss my 60 degree wedge shots, don't miss nasty weather, icing, back spasms. Last course I played was Augusta

"worst course on best site"

You talk about unproved and unprovable. Arrogance!

Build what you like, play what you like. Absolute judgemnts this undemonstratable are grotesque.

I pulled the following words from the website of a well-liked GCA destination.  Anyone want to take a stab at it?

"grandeur"
"conceived in harmony"
"nature's infinite presence"
"nature is embraced, not conquered"
"structure of a symphony"
"small crescendos"


I guess I had sort of forgotten about this.

These phrases were found on various pages in the Bandon Dunes Resort website.

Well they said it sounded like certain seedy joints in and around the town of Bandon, so it techincally wasn't the resort itself....unless they've added that type of "after-hours" entertainment at the resort since the last time I was there.  ;D

Actually, the magic words most likely to induce instantaneous aesthetic bulimia is "Country Club Living." In the raters phrase book, it is defined roughly as a Ted Robinson Golf Course with oval bunkers, cutesy ponds and fairways lined with faux Mediterranean crackerboxes. Mandatory in each tiny backyard are chaise lounges, buckling under the weight of obese sows sunning their flaccid breasts next to dirty wading pools.

Arizona has exactly 4,379 such abominations. I would rather listen to Led Zeppelin played on an erhu than subject myself to another County Club Living crap track.

Incidentally, I would like to assert that I am the only GCAtlas contributor who has actually "played" an erhu. If I get the chance tomorrow, I'll recount the sad tale.

Two come to mind:

"Stadium"

"Links-Style", regardless of what type of course it actually is.
