General Comments
What You Can Bring:
Eskies - you are permitted within the Public area to bring your own food - however no beverages, including water and soft drink.
Sun protection - Although they supply a lot of outdoor furniture with umbrellas it can be a hot, long day in the sun. Don't forget your sunscreen.
Money - they do have four ATM's located inside the course because admission, bets, food and beverage tickets are all to be purchased with cash only.
