Good to know
- With only around 40-some seats, competition for reservations is intense, so plan well ahead; cancellations by parties of 2–4 within three days incur 50% of the course price, and same-day cancellations or no-shows 100%.
- Lunch is less expensive than dinner and easier to secure; the full experience takes about three to four hours, so allow plenty of time.
