A Tale of Two Courses

This course in TN advertises itself as the oldest golf club in TN, founded in 1894. It was actually a tale of two golf courses for us.
First, the course itself. Incredibly well maintained, great from every tee box straight through the greens. A couple bunkers had a rough edge or two, but overall, it was remarkable. The terrain, the layout the whole works. The Superintendent there KNOWS what he is doing!
But then, the rest of the story. The "amenities" of the course were virtually non-existent! A bare-bones pro shop, no snack bar at all on Monday and Tuesday (closest food about two miles away), some rough carts, no signage, no ball washers on any hole, no toilets -- nothing! Man in pro shop said they had been through 12 pros in 12 years. No question about it.

I would tell anyone "Come play this course. At $40-ish a round it is more than worth it, but be prepared for a truly minimalist experience when it comes to the "extras."
