Adam,

you are right. Ogden is a great place to play. If you catch it on a good winters day it is still usually in good nick through the winter. I played quite a few winter alliances there and it was always a delight. The 17th is one of the biggest elevation changes I have come across.

Hardly a great golf course, but an incredibly beautiful place.  Lake Burton Club, second hole (the tee is on top of the waterfall)...

Bob Crosby mentioned the Lake Burton hole earlier, referring to it as "Waterfall GC".  The website says it is a 215 foot drop.  I looked for a good photo from the top, but couldn't find one.  I have seen one before.

John - it was indeed called (and may be again known as, for all I know) Waterfall.  I got paired up with the developer, JT Williams, at Royal Troon (he also did Eagle's Landing outside of Atlanta and Southwood in Tallahassee, FL).  My family does a reunion thing at Lake Burton every other year.  Last year my neph and I went over and spent a few fun hours knocking it around the Lake Burton Club.  Like I say, hardly a great course but BEAUTIFUL scenery, and I had already slipped away to Highlands NC for a round at the incredible Highlands CC.

I KNEW I had taken a photo from the top of the waterfall...

Two fine drop=shot 3s at Sutton Bay (NLE):

No. 2 (semi-blind) and No. 13 (semi-blind into the sun, as my cousin Charlie discovered when he aced it; the hole was the last place we looked).

I loved No. 2.
