Now that the list is coming together, a few thoughts:
Surprised to see Woodhill and T&C this high. I can't speak to Woodhill, but T&C is a very good course hindered in rankings by the length and quirk. I'd certainly play there over Spring Hill.
Generally speaking, the public courses come in a little underrated IMO (not saying there's any correlation there, just using it as a grouping). I'd give Wilderness a Doak 7, for instance, although there aren't many circumstances which bring one within 100 miles of Tower, Minnesota. StoneRidge has a quirkiness factor of its own (and the interstate next door doesn't help, either), but it has quite a few very good holes and a unique look that I personally find attractive. And while it isn't flashy, there's hardly a bad thing to be said about Keller that doesn't mention the fourth hole. Frankly, I think The Jewel in Lake City should have cracked the list; there are definitely weak holes, but it's better than Stillwater and a couple others in the third ten courses.
The Classic is one of my favorites in the state, and the only course on the Brainerd Golf Trail marketing that offers something special. It's the sort of amateur architect project that makes guys like me feel grossly overconfident in my ability to produce a high quality course given the opportunity. Three and eleven are especially good, although there are a couple holes that definitely feel unpolished, and make the amateur design evident, like fourteen, a long, slightly uphill par three with two strangely-placed bunkers and a green that cants hard right into one of them. I have a hard time disliking those features, though, since they give the course a lot of its character and don't really hurt the course in any sense besides the aesthetic one. It's at about the right place on the list.
I'm excited to see the list count down, especially since Minnesota doesn't really have a consensus number one course. Very good work by the panel, no doubt.
