PM,
I have to bail out a tad and qualify, because the feature of "wind" doesn't appear in any measure on some challenging courses:
If there's a 20+ mph wind?
Fishers' - Of my seven playings, I have caught a BIG wind three times; and then it becomes the hardest course in the world. Exhilarating, but the medal expectations are changed while the match play amusement ramps considerably.
If there's little or no wind?
Winged Foot West. I have almost zero objectivity in this case, because I see it weekly in season. As is well-repeated here by many, played from a sensible tee and tallying #9 and #16 as short three-shotters, it is an enjoyable and stimulating course in both medal and match matters. Under such conditions, driving becomes strategic; recovery really means something to still holding "par" on a hole; and each hole presentation offers a visible solution. I'll add that one can (and WF members/guests demonstrate this annually) play it "every day;" (even on dry winter days) it's got to be the gentlest walk of the revered inland courses, perhaps only the Pinehurst greats can match up.
Other:
If this was some official expert's report and not just a board question, I'd have to say that many stimulating courses in the south and southwest would be disqualified for me because of the heat and/or humidity that make up the preponderance of their days. No matter how good or difficult they are, I think playing dozens of rounds in such conditions, (somewhat--but not precisely--like a constantly heavy wind) would sour me. I realize its true for many northern climates, but for the purposes of my own answer to Pat's question, the WF courses - experiencing the four seasons as they do -- evolve over the course of the year. A muddy March day , a first warm April round, a blooming May afternoon, a difficult grass grown June tournament, a July scorcher, a pre-heat August morning, a clear mild September Saturday, a crisp leave strewn October match, a stolen November Indian-Summer stroll. I've played and caddied in driving rains and cold winds and had brandy-soaked experiences in February. It's the kind of course, the kind of place and the kind of locale where playing 150-200 rounds a year seems appetizing and not a bore (though I myself will never join a club at all or play that much golf in any one year with all the trillions of the world).
Pschizo Other Bonus:
In my current state, I think to play Sawgrass every day would drive me from the game within a season. However, if I were a practiced, tournament player and/or "scratch" or better handicap, I imagine it would be kind of fun. For me at least, I'm just not up to it. too many "8s" and double-bogeys there for the player who does not KNOW where it's going on every full shot.
cheers
