I'm looking forward to playing Tobacco Road twice on this trip. I know I will enjoy what I'm about to see - but I can't for the life of me see why anyone would choose a course that tough as a final round.
I wouldn't choose either for precisely that reason. I'd want my last round to be played sans reloads.
In many respects, I don't think the courses are all that different. Both present the golfer with very unique experiences, unique holes, the opportunity for some very entertaining shots. I certainly don't think the margin is that great in favor of Black Mesa, though I probably would give it the edge by a hair, in terms of pure design. The slightly more forgiving nature of TR might swing the pendulum back in favor of TR for fun, however.
I look forward to what Ian has to say about TR.
Maybe someone could start a little less mordib thread along the lines of where they'd prefer their next round to be, rather than their last.
