Thanks to Art and several others, I have had the awesome opportunity to play most of the courses in MB as shown below. Headed down second week of October with the Mrs. for our umpteenth trip and at a loss for what to play. My favorite courses are marshy and/or gator infested. Would obviously like to pickup the private courses, but realize that won't happen. Would appreciate any input.
Brian can book you at The Dunes.
Your Blue Lockwood, Oak Island, Wach East are public courses.
Eagle Nest, Beachwood, Crown Park, Diamond Back are decent lower cost courses, if you
want to check one off.
Whispering Pines is newly renovated.
Best Gator course is Oyster Bay, with The Dunes + Heritage second. Sometimes fall
isn't too good for gator viewing, if the water is warm and the air is cool, as they might stay in the water.

Willbrook is another good course to see gators, on a sunny day you will see some of the bigger ones. Good luck in your choices.
