I predict a lot of bids for worlds involving one permanent course and one temp (usually means golf course) course. I also predict worlds in europe within the next 5 years.

Oh, and I just don't see a facility with two Gold-level courses (and nothing else?) being financially viable anyway, even up here in pay-to-play country. The bulk of revenue for our courses comes from the run of the mill recreational players. They might play an 8000+ foot monster course once, but they won't be back all that often. But a course in the 5000-6000 foot range where SSA falls in the 46-52 range...that's your money maker.
Or what Emporia did last year FOR WORLDS. MPO played Jones East (permanent park course) and Emporia Country Club (temp on a golf course).
So basically what DeLaveaga DGC has done except that instead of "Masters Cup" it will be called "Professional World Championship."
Flyboy is still playable, on a limited basis.....but would be ill-suited for handling crowds. I'm not sure it's really gold-level.
But it would look spectacular on video.
"Atlanta's next best offering" might have to be confined to That-side-of-Atlanta's next best offering; Air Show's comment about the traffic would certainly encompass Atlanta's legendarily bad traffic.
Perhaps Hobbs farms in nearby town. Houck designed with 4.6 stars. Or boundary waters. Haven't played these though to know if they can be stretched to challenge the best. Atlanta would allow for easy flight scheduling getting to the area. Might want to have it in sept or October due to heat.
