Playing 14 from the upper tees (at 11) was a design feature that we planned on all of our routings. It is only known to locals. Since it requires a walk, few take the time or effort. It makes the 14th better for one primary reason: It allows the golfer to see around the dog-leg, thus having even more temptation to cut the edge along the left.
As for moving The Hideout to Grand Junction...what makes the course special (my view) is that it is out of the way and quietly content in its small LDS community. When people discover it, they smile.
Quick story — When Blackhawk (country band) appeared at the San Juan County Fair a few years back, they decided to play golf the morning of their appearance. They finished 18..and then teed it up again the same afternoon. Nearly late for the concert...no warm up! Then, all the band members and crew got up the next day and played before heading north. They cancelled their tee times elsewhere to play their third round. They also recorded a song for the course to use as a radio ad, but I have never been able to get a copy.
