Bill, somehow I don't have the sense that L.S., compares to Cusco in a feel of play sense. I like them both. But, Cusco seems more stylized, formal, and rigid to me, and L.S., feels more open, rural and rugged, casual, which makes me more comfortable to play. I guess I'm just more of a country bumpkin than the guy to be playing with the caddie at a club... The maintenance meld (the time I saw it at L.S. is more natural and IMO conducive to freewheeling traditional buddy matchplay golf). The fun factor of the design at L.S. and laid back feel, with plenty of FW ground and green contour and strategy makes me more eager to go over to first tee and go another round, and it is way easier on the wallet to do so.
I'm still trying to think of another common known golf course that I'd compare L.S. to that I've played recently. I need to work it out in my mind a little more, but I'm leaning towards Erin Hills in a more straight forward sense, without all the blindness and severity. L.S. is manufactured to not have blindness, opposed to natural drape upon the land and incorporate the quirk that such presents, yet the feel of hole corridors has me thinking it was similar.
