NICE ARTICLE.
While it mentions that this is the type participation the conferences and industry are yearning for,  don't hold your breath.  They make no money when the game is left to fend for itself...

Great Article ....thx for the link!

This almost exactly describes Paxon Hollow, 5800 yards - par 71 (back tee)
Municipal owned and managed golf club in suburban Philadelphia area.
Extremely busy and consistently profitable, alot of repeat customers.

I often say that it is a shame they do not build courses like ours anymore.

Nice article. It may be stating the bleedingly obvious but it's an obvious which got lost along the way.

One reason it got lost along the way is this:

     David McLay Kidd, who designed Bandon Dunes, said in a Golf Digest story on the year's Best New Courses, "I'd gotten romanced by notions of defending par and resistance to scoring. So I built courses that were difficult. I admit it."

Mr. Carney only forgot to mention that Resistance to Scoring was one of the prime movers on the GOLF DIGEST top 100 list.  It would've been nice if he had admitted it in the same manner that David did.
