Left Raynor off because although I love his work...I'd kind of know what to expect.

With an 11 site, I think I'd actually prefer Don Mahaffey to irrigate some fairways and greens and a crew to mow the grass and change the pins occasionally. What more is needed?  :D

I'm replying to Michael George.
    Mike Nuzzo is an elite architect who, along with Don Mahaffey, created a masterpiece of strategic design at Wolf Point. It is cutting edge from a playability and interest point of view, and additionally, from sustainability and efficiency ones as well. In my opinion, he deserves consideration with other super elite architects both living and dead. If I had land anywhere he would be an immediate call, as I would want him to see the site and express his thoughts about it. By the way, I would consider it part of due diligence to contact Mr. Hanse and Doak so they could be included for reviewing the site as well. I imagine the choice from that field would be difficult, to say the least.
   The five designers I picked prevoiusly are in no particular order. If I fell into 20 million, those are the guys I'd call first, though getting a hold of Mackenzie and Thompson is problematic as I have had great difficulty locating phone numbers or email addresses for either of them.

Mucci
Morrow
Arble
Kavanaugh

In fact, I would get them all to collaborate on the course. It would either be the world's greatest or ....

Martin,

I think you've hit the nail on the head! Mucci, Morrow, and Kavanaugh would kill each other, and Arble would restrain Doak bunkering to produce the more than perfect 11.

Only listing architects if I've played 2+ courses they designed, renovated, or redesigned (that leaves Flynn, CBM, Raynor, Colt, DeVries, Nuzzo, and probably some others I am forgetting as unavailable).

I would wager quite a bit that most of you have based your decisions on what you would anticipate the end product to be. I would go about it differently, just because, well, I'm different. I would interview the architects(or, in the case of ODG's, go by reputation) to determine whom I think would be the most fun, adventurous and pleasurable person to spend my time and money with while doing this golf course endeavor. If I'm spending up to a year with someone on such a project, I want it to be the (potentially best)time of our lives.

Having gotten my first real taste of Simpson this summer I have definitely moved him into the old Andrew Sarris category of, Subjects for Further Research.

Speaking of Simpson, his protoge Javier Arana.  He didn't do enough courses.  I'd want to see what he would do.
Lester.  He'd deliver, after all he's done on hard sites, something no one's seen yet.
Ian. Ian would make a sublime masterpiece.
Dick Wilson. big broad boozy golf.
