We are idiots. It was about 45 degrees outside yesterday with a stiff breeze blowing. We couldn't feel our hands after about ten minutes out on the course, but we were playing golf. And we had fun.
The Foxwood Golf Club is only about a mile and a half from our campground and they have senior rates (age 55+). On Mondays, that rate is $13 for eighteen holes using a riding cart. Yep, read it and weep. Yesterday we paid $29.00 for the two of us to play eighteen holes using a riding cart. It seems the young man is a dyed in the wool Bengals fan and when he learned we're from Ohio he said he'd give us a discount. However, they also accept the Golf Card discount so I don't know which discount was given to whom, but playing a round of golf was very inexpensive.
The golf course has plenty of small hills, trees and a pond or two. There are no sand traps (yay!) but almost all of the greens are raised so if you hit a putt too firmly your ball will roll right off the green. No matter which direction you're facing. They are what I call evil greens; you have to stick them when you chip onto them or putt really well once you are there, otherwise you might as well kiss the ball good-bye. There were no more than ten cars in the parking lot, although Mondays are very busy due to the cheaper rate. Some of the women's tees were a bit rough but the course was in pretty good shape overall and we would play it again in a heartbeat.
And don't forget--discounts for Bengals fans.
