I visited Queenwood in April 2004 when it was still fairly new. I was with the architecture study group from the Edinburgh College of Art. We only walkd the course (didn't play it) guided by then then (maybe still) course manager, one of the famous McMilllan family, but I don't recall which one exactly, like the Maples of Pinehurst, there are just too many of them to keep straight.
Queenwood was unique in my experience as it was the first and only course I've seen that was a manufactured "heathland". The site was originally forest over clay soil, with some pasture and farm fields. The whole course was capped with sand, up to one meter in depth, we were told, to replicate heathland soils. Large amounts of heather and broom were imported to enhance the appearance. At the time, it was still a bit raw, the heather plantings hadn't coalesced and looked unnatural, but I've been told by expert witnesses that it has since matured and blossomed. Vast sums were spent, with the goal to create one of the most exclusive clubs anywhere. The day we were there, the course was open, but we did not see a single golfer. I don't know how it's working out today.
The course was impressive. I especially liked the green complexes, which were shaped with understated, elegant, flowing lines sure to arouse the excitement of any GCA buff. It was in immaculate condition. I've got some photos on an old disc somewhere and if I weren't so lazy I would look for it to share them. Again, I don't know how it might be today.
