Thoughts on Clubhead Speed The off-season is a terrific time to make adjustments. For me, I am working on changing how I place my hands on the golf club. Ok, it’s my “grip”.

The food was terrific, the service impeccable and the venue was perfect for our needs. Liisa is an awesome hostess and bent over backwards to serve 50 people in record time. We will be back!
Liisa did a great job making Mom's Birthday wonderful. She listened and was very helpful in making it a lovely and memorable time...even took pictures for us. The food was on time and scrumptious. Very recommendable.

We held our third annual golf tournament with about 84 golfers and extra dinner guests in Sept. and it was another great success. Sam in the pro shop helped our group with all the golf course arrangements and Liisa managed the banquet facility. She went all out to make it a really successful evening with a great food selection. We received many compliments from our golfers and guests which will bring us back for another event next year. We definitely recommend this location for golf and or special dinner event.
