Wouldn't it be a course on which your game could age well? One on which you could move from tips to middies to forwards and not ... wait for it ... miss a shot?
I think that the course needs to fit your sensibility~it has to have an ambience, in addition to the shots, and it has to favor the element of your game that most defines you.
For me, I love to hit the tee shot, wish I hit my approaches better than I do and enjoy greenside recoveries. Putting comes and goes for me.
A Kebo Valley, a Taconic, a Leatherstocking (old school northeastern courses, of the ones I've played) or a Myopia or Merion West (similar ilk, yet ones I have not played) would be my courses of choice.
HOWEVER, pulling from Tim Gavrich's thread of recent days, I could go for a Krewe Island setting along the South Carolina-North Georgia coastline. Fresh seafood every day...mmmmmmm.
