Sorry for the delay, it was a long packing up camp day, and then a long (20 1/2 hours) driving day back to home from Erie, CO, and I'm finally catching up on some stuff.
Wellsbranch: I'll have those reviews out pronto! I try not to put more than one of my reviews on the homepage at a time to keep as many people up there as I can, so I'll probably put out one a day for the rest of the courses I played last week.
Others: I didn't mean for my review to be a review of the cost, or of the owners. I tried to make my review about the course. I included information that I thought would affect someone's experience, or help them prepare for their round, but it did not affect my rating (if anything, my experience with the owners only helped). I didn't know I would be playing God and messing with the Top 10 list, but since I could only play 2/3 of the course, and given the conditions of the tee's (especially next to the incredible everything else), I didn't feel like it was on par with Harmony Bend, or Bailey (spoiler alert for that review). I also don't think it had as many memorable hole designs. I didn't put that in the review, even though I waited until after I played all the courses I could play this trip to write it, but i definitely remember some Bailey and Beaver Ranch holes a lot more.
Bucksnort is a beautiful course though (one of the top 5, maybe top 3 I've played so far), and incredibly unique. Absolutely more than a backyard course, and if it's not out of your price range, worth a trip to go solo. I made 3 trips out that 285 corridor or whatever highway it is with all those courses, and loved every one of them.
