don't troll baw, you've hated enough in the other thread. I want to know what are the qualities you're looking for that makes a course truly great

A few characteristics are options off the tee, true "risk/reward." one side of the fairway provides a good look at the flag whereas the other side brings in a bad angle to the green. This let's more people hit the fairway, but allows for a great recovery shot or a bad score depending on aggression of the player.
Things like centerline bunkers that can influence the player mentally to take a certain line
Good green complexes.
Mackenzie, Maxwell, Raynor, Tillinghast, Maxwell, Macdonald, Ross, Coore Crenshaw, Doak, among others.
Everything described above and not moving a shite ton of land to build neighborhoods around the courses
