Mr. Doak,
Curious if you noticed the wavy landforms on either side of the interstate between Park City and Bowling Green? I assume it's due in part to the prevalent karst topography, but always wondered if it would lend itself to a golf course.
Nick, I have spent a lot of time driving that 25 mile stretch of highway over the past two years, daydreaming about building something in those wavy landforms you mentioned.
My general thought is that, for the most part, those waves are about 25-50% too big to build something great in. In many cases, if you were in the bottom of one wave, you wouldn't be able to see over the crest of the next wave, leaving a lot of blind shots to contend with when creating a routing. We had this same issue in places at Park Mammoth. Then, of course, there are the always prevalent sinkholes in many of those bottoms, LOTS of rock in the crests, and a lack of surface water (meaning your irrigation water would have to be pulled from beneath via wells and an artificial pond/lake created which, if you ask Olde Stone, isn't quite as simple as it sounds for some of the same reasons mentioned above).
The best land for golf that I have seen in that area is on some of the large farms on the north side of 31W as you get in closer to Bowling Green, where the waves are less extreme and a little more suited to golf. There's also a killer tract in the horseshoe of the Barren River just east of I-65 that would be a lot of fun, but golf is probably not the best and highest use for that property.
