re: My yearly Masters question. How much would you pay?

I think the number would be much higher if you only offered the deal to me vs opening it up to the public and crowding the course

absolutely, I know this isn't exactly like the OP but in my head I imagined a scenario where it was a one time hypothetical thing where somehow someway they gave me and only me the option to pay to play it.

There are tons of other famous courses that are open to the public, so in that case the allure wouldn't be as much. Hell San Diego residents can play torrey pines anytime for like $100. Not nearly the same thing. If AN was simply open to the public, obviously people wouldn't pay as much as in this other scenario.
