For many years the worst course I had seen was at Copper Mountain, Colorado, where PB Dye tried to convert a ski slope into a golf course. But no longer! That dubious distinction goes to Olde Beau in Roaring Gap, NC. Built on a horribly severe piece of property and designed by the owner. I doubt if he could find a real architect who would take the job. Unfortunately, quite a few unsuspecting souls have bought some fairly upscale homes on the course. They must have not played the course in advance. If you have a fear of heights, stay away. In fact, stay away, period. Ironically it is located less than a mile from the Roaring Gap Club, a wonderful old Ross course. Just shows the difference between Mr. Ross and an amateur.
