"While he required only $70,000 for the original construction of his masterpiece, the National, Charles Blair MacDonald usually pursued his hobby of promoting and building courses on a grander scale. The Lido and Mid-Ocean courses cost nearly $800,000 each. Yale spent some $450,000 in blasting out its classical course at New Haven to his specifications" (DAB).
