Tom.
The article linked in my reply on another thread pretty much says the same thing:
I read a recent article that intimated this year's opening would generally be geared towards generating publicity.
http://btimesherald.com/2017/02/08/court-discusses-retreat-at-silvies-valley-ranch/. The two sentences that stood out are
This summer, The Retreat at Silvies Valley Ranch will host reporters from golf magazines who will write about the retreat and surrounding communities. Marshall said that, in the second year, the retreat will focus on recruiting destination tourists who are “looking for that unique, frontier, Western experience in Silvies Valley.
While I was up there in early July it was still in grow-in. I also chanced into a dinner with the owner, his wife, and a number of others. They are feeling their way through the opening, The golf course is a small part of the ranch operation. With the amount of on-site lodging they might be expecting 10-15 groups a day. I did make a suggestion that they re-think the daily rate idea, which my take is limiting the amount of groups wanting to travel there to play. Since they are also promoting activities at the ranch, he daily rate concept for golf seems counterproductive to getting golfers to enjoy other stuff like shooting buffalo rifles and machine guns.
Also, should my review thread format be normal or should it focus on areas of the shared land, such as 1-2-3 Hankins and
17-18 Craddock
