As always an interesting read. Another out of the way destination course here in the PNW is Gamble Sands near Brewster, WA. Pretty amazing that ownership took the risk to build so far out from any urban center (I suppose Wenatchee would count as the closest). It’s an excellent, fun course with views to die for. I prefer it over Chambers. Thanks again for your fine work.
Great insight as always. One thing you really did not delve into is the course aesthetics and conditioning, playability or challenge. These too are major draws that can set a premium on the golf experience that people crave. So I would also include the why. Why are these rural Mike Keiser built and managed courses thriving. Sand Valley now has the mighty Lido which is a huge story in itself but it is the Lido in tip top shape with greens that put like Heaven. The course and all Keiser course are as close to Augusta conditions that you will find on a course you can actually play. So the routing, conditions, challenge and story or each venue would be the WHY?
Thanks James - of course. It goes without saying that the Keiser family has built incredible golf courses on fantastic land. They are great stewards of the land and their local economies from foundations to housing projects.

Thanks Tim! Gamble Sands looks incredible - would love to get out west in the future to play.
Jared,
