It's a meaningless coincidence, but the two courses I have played the most in my life are Golspie and Preston Country Club in Kingwood, West Virginia suffered severe, potentially fatal flood damage in the year immediately prior to me playing them for the first time. I have told the story many times about meeting Sir Malcolm Campbell in 2000 while playing the Old Course. When he learned I was planning on playing Braid courses in the Highlands he advised me to skip Golspie and play Brora twice. I did, and so didn't experience Golspie until 2013 the year after the flooding. Why he advised me to skip Golspie is an enduring mystery. And I'm very glad to see that Golspie is getting the praise it deserves for the quality of the course. I will echo FBD's awe of the 16th green, but I would like to speak up for the 2nd, 6th and 7th as well. Mammals of various sizes have been interred under those surfaces.
In 1985 the remnants of a hurricane parked over parts of West Virginia and delivered as much as 20" of rain. The flooding of the Cheat River in Preston Country caused the golf course there to be entirely covered by water. I didn't play it until the following summer by which time it had recovered with the only tell tale evidence being some oddly placed mounds which had been formed to cover debris that was too onerous to remove.
There is no moral to this tale as sometimes coincidences are just that, but if you know that I'm planning on visiting a course for the first time next year you might want to check your insurance coverage for flooding.
