I have basically been a GM since 1997 and have been going on a once per year
pretty swanky golf trip every May. I am not sure this counts... but the single,
most important, most cherished "unique aspect" is, by and far, an empty golf course.
We experienced this at nice private facilities like Crystal Downs, Black Diamond, Kingsley, Roaring Gap, Old Town.
We experienced this at nice public facilities like Indian Wells, Whistling Straits Irish, We Ko Pa, Broadmoor.
The ultimate private experience was Kingsley. The ultimate public experience was Primland.
Other courses had more history or were in better condition. But the fact we had those places to ourselves really
made each visit special.
