It's expensive, $135.00 for 1 round of golf. Semi-private course.

You guys are doing a bang-up job on this golf thread. I've really got a kick out of reading some of your responses, as well as enjoyed your opinions. Maybe if we keep on going and growing, we can talk Jason into organizing a 3A Downlow golf tournament at some nice course one of these years.

[Chief Woodman]

Lets do one this summer...salado does a nice package and is a decent price that most can afford. Also central location
