I agree with the first part of what Mr. Doak has said in that we will be discussing the same courses that we are today. I think what will change, is that with all the "high quality" golf course developments of recent and in the near future, most of us will have a greater selection of strong golf courses locally. This phenomenon will make it harder for courses and resorts to attract visitors from afar, out of state or country. So I disagree with Mr. Doak's assertions that we will also be talking about 10 or 20 new ones because there will be hundreds upon hundreds that will past the muster test. There will be a Dye, Fazio, Nicklaus, Doak, etc. within 50 miles of every metropolitan area exceeding 1 million people (nice thought, I know).
What attracts us to golf destinations today are typically resort amenities, tradition/history, climate. In future I think we will be attracted to the same great courses that we are today, and some resorts that have great non-golf amenities. Great Ocean, mountain, dessert courses will be everywhere and will likely attract green fees of a little over $100, where as Pebble, Pinehurst #2, TOC and Muirfield will cost us $1,000 a piece.
