What a stupid I am.  If there was an executive length course bracket, then Milton Freewater (Oregon) should be the hands down winner. After a flat and pedestrian front nine you head up and up for a hilltop thrillride. The only Bunny Mason course where Bunny's layout was the normal golf experience.

How about a 6,570 yard par-72 golf course where the last par-4 you play is number 12?


Front nine is par 35, back is par 37. Back nine goes:


4
3

I guess I didn't think of that one since I don't find the nines to be that different from an environment or feel standpoint.  It's the same land basically, but obviously a very different and unique hole order.  I mean, both the front and back have holes where you tee off over the same street.  The front nine is certainly more traditional.  Really need to get back there to see how it plays with modern equipment.  Will probably still flummox me to the same extent.
