someone with one day, all or most of his time should be on course.
I agree.
It is so beautiful. I’ve been many times, but I still walk each hole on some of my visits.
The course is the star. The elevation changes and the green contours are incredible.
I’d go to Berckman’s IF I was invited, but I would not pay up for the experience. Most years I’ve gone for free or at most face value. At this point, I’ve seen the course many times. They do some changes each year. Most are subtle, but a few years ago they pushed hole 5 from like 445 to 500 yards and got the tee away from 4 green. I guess they may bump 13 tee back some in the future. They planted a bunch of full green trees on 9 and 11 years ago. The first time I went 7 was less than 400 yards, now the tee is a hike from 6 green. The par 3s seem to change the least over the years, and yet they are challenging to the field.

Just to clarify my tips to the OP. If you think you'll never get invited to Berkmans again, make sure to spend some time enjoying it because it is unique and very special. My point is that for the right amount of money you can always get back on the course again but there almost isn't any amount of money that can get you back into Berkmans since the tickets are only allocated to a few corporations that have multi-decade licenses on them. It's just a very tough ticket.

The elevation changes
I think HDTV has shown this aspect better than SDTV. First time I went was late 90’s for a practice round, and I was NOT prepared for the elevation changes. It just didn’t come through in standard def TV. We walked the course twice and were beat. We walked a few holes with David Duval and he came over and talked to us between several shots. Really nice guy.
OP, wear very comfortable shoes.
