Perhaps the question is whether Red Mike is good enough to become a limited membership national club in the nature of Sand Hills? Notwithstanding the limited season, if the course were "bought right" and "cottages" could be built at a reasonable cost, then memberships could be sold and dues and costs structured to support maintenance and conditioning. The ability of this property to attract members would ultimately depend on ease of access(a negative), cost, and the attractiveness of the course and other attendant services(e.g. food quality, caddie program etc.). The availability of other similar clubs would also be an important consideration as one must assume that the number of individuals capable of an investment of this type is limited. But based on prior comments it appears that a daily fee operation is doomed absent a massive subsidy.
