I love the idea of a course where the fellow playing competitors can decide to have some gamesmanship like you describe Ward, of the guy with honors selects the teeing ground position. I guess a vulgar extreme, but could be mutually fun if the idea is to just have a fun game of something that resembles golf, would be like our Reverse Jans GCA players did, and decide to play the course, in something of reverse, on a total hoot. But, of course the most famous of that variation and a course that seems totally suited to such gamesmanship would be TOC played in Reverse, on April 1 as I understand it. Surely that design begs for gamesmanship variations.
But, all on the course have to be somewhat ammenable to the gamesmanship of the participants that wish to depart from the normal course of the rules and procedures. In that regard, I think it is as much to do with the others that use the course to be ammenable to some folks gamesmanship, as it seems to me that mutally agreed gamesmanship within a playing foursome or a few 4somes, may go contrary to the rest of the players on the course, if it inconveniences their normal expectation of how to play.
I guess, wide open courses, not hardly being used by others, no specific design elements other than hole corridors in close proximity would seem to me elements that are conducive to gamesmanship. We all have seen some real variations of gamesmanship, I'd bet. Once I saw some fellows having a great time with a game where wedge or some sort of short iron was required to be played off of every tee.
