Not over here you won't ?

Will the great courses designed and built in the next decade be outside the U.S. ?

Will the economy and environmental constraints prevent the introduction of more great modern courses in America ?

And, will Trump continue to expand his golf empire outside the U.S. ?

Patrick - How many new courses do you think the US market needs in the next decade?

I'd have thought the best new courses will be built where the demand and resources are strongest. That appears to be Asia and maybe South America.  Also Trump is a successful businessman so I'm sure he'll follow the market, whilst picking up bargains at home.

Just from sheer #'s I think they have better odds.
Yes
I hope not, unless he gets hit with a humility stick.
Bigger question for me is when will we see largescale renovations fixing the damage done by so many self proclaimed architects.  There are some nice sites just waiting for some dirt to fly.
