The small private tour was fantastic! - The smaller private tour with Richard was fantastic! And a tip - do the tour on Sunday when there is no golf and you get a much better opportunity to walk the course and hear the history while on the course. Even the non-golfers in our tour enjoyed it!

Great tour for groups of all ages! - Jim was an outstanding tour guide! His knowledge of the history of the course made for a wonderful learning experience for our family of all ages. We especially appreciated his ability to get us a great family pic on the famous Swiklin Bridge on the 18 hole! Loved the tip to snag a reservation time at the Himalayas putting course!
