The guys that made the point that is all about money are correct. The economy sucks and courses are not going to turn away your green fee.
The question that I have is, "Why would you build a really hard course?". We have a new course near me (Tarandowah), that they are advertising as one of the Hardest Courses in Canada. I played it a while back, played well, and shot 85 (I'm a 7). I will play it again largely because it is empty, not because it is hard. The 16+ handicaps that I play with can't break 100 out there, have zero fun, and won't go back.
I am admittedly a bit of a "Course Collector". Am lucky to be able to travel with my job and also have time off in the summer. My first thought about any new course that I play is "Is it fun?". I don't understand the point of stupid hard.
