Designer, me of course -think of all the money I would save.
If I could, I would collaborate with Gil Hanse (I think he is great at thinking outside the box plus at 6'5" we'd see things eye-tp-eye) and get Jeff Bradley to do the bunkers. I would do the shaping and tractor work. The course would be a core course.
No dirt would be moved except for 300' around greens, bunkers, and tees. All would be cut/fill with no hauling. Only a small finish dozer, track hoe, Mini-hoe, track skid load and a tractor would be used to build it.
Greens Sand - not USGA) would be Pebble Beach small but with ample undualting surrounds.
Bunkers would not apologize for being hazards, small and deep but with open fronts that would suck balls in.
Tees - 8 small tees for a 4 -tee system to provide day-to-day variety and to allow for the ones not in use to rest.
Fairways would be very wide (merging when adjacent) and have the bunkers internal rather than along side.
Drainage, drainge, and drainage. Did I mention drainage?
Irrigation resevoir at the low end of the creek so I could draw free creek water as opposed to drilling well. Dual heads around greens.
Ideally, I would like to get the 3rd hole back to the clubhouse for late day practice rounds.
A clubhouse compound of small, individual, use specific buildings rather than one mongo building. Gravel parking lot.
I would build several houses for supt, pro and some multifamily/dorms for staff workers. This subsidized housing would be part of the compensation package.
With 225 acres, I would also try to tuck a couple of housing pods around the perimeter - off the courseto offset costs.
