Local knowledge
- A tee time from 2 PM saves $25 ($85 vs $110). Late October daylight still allows 18 holes from 2:00-2:30 PM with a cart.
- The forward Green/Red combo tees (5,311 yds) carry a women's slope of 123. Seniors who want a shorter course can drop to the White/Green combo (5,844 yds, 121).
- Avoid June 1-4 and August 3-6, the published aerification closures.
- GolfNow Hot Deals sometimes undercut the club's own rate, but they are prepaid and non-refundable inside 24 hours.
