$26 (cart included), played on Friday, September 2008 at noon
The greens were recently aerated, so the price was discounted. Very nice course, scenic since it is right on the bay. A marshall would have been nice as there was a male/female twosome (probably members) in a blue golf cart that were holding up 4-5 groups behind them, us being right behind them. They would speed off the tee so you can't catch them, but were snails the rest of the way. I have no doubt they scored well over 110 each, but examined their putts from every angle. The lady even did the "Camillo Villegas" once. I'm sorry if this isn't enough about the course, but this was one of the best scoring/most unenjoyable rounds of my life because of them.
