Forest Dunes/Mich, The Palmer Course/W Va, Southwood/Fla., Rock Barn/NC, Ravenwood/NY, Rio Grande/Colo, Koasati/LA, Boulder Creek/OH, The Falls/Nev, Shore Gate/NJ,
These are GD's top ten NEW upscale public courses. I haven't played any so I won't comment on them. The only one I've heard anything about is Ravenwood, from some friends who thought it was good but weren't spellbound.
I think it's more than possible that #2 would do well in this group. I'd even suggest that it would be noticed if in the private category, especially after looking at some of the photos on the websites of the Ridge, Dalhousie, Baker Hill and the Reserve.
