The par 90 course will be played on special days and only by individuals chosen by the tribe...

You mean like choosing to make all the Italians play the 90par on Columbus day, or only those with the surname of Custer, or some other manner of revenge?  Put'em out there with no water... ::) ;D

Can I be the guy they suspend with hooks through my pectoral muscles (actual word changed by Site Software - rhymes with ripples), please?
I hope JayDee is being paid by the yard. The big fella could do with the dosh.

Neal - many thanks for the explanations. The place sounds pretty neat to me.

Only one thing... I just noticed where exactly this course is... it's not in the middle of nowhere, but it's not far from it.  Heck yeah they're going to need SOMETHING to get people to venture all the way up there.... so I get the marketing angle.  But how can you market something not available?  That is, I get that it makes sense to only open the crazy monster tees on special occassions... but if that's the case, what gets Joe Q. Public to make that drive if he can't give those a whack?

Huck,

Its not about the golf course, its about the package deal...

The casino draws em in, and the course is there to play as a sideshow.   ;D  ;D

Since Kalen resurected this thread, what is the current status of this course?  Is it open?  Has anyone played it?

This also has the benefit of allowing plenty of RV parking when the full length is not in use.
