I called (Thursday) to make a tee time and to make sure I could use the Give Foundation benefit for Veterans. I was told by staff I was good to go as long as it wasn't a weekend. Here I am and its Friday. I go to check in today and the staff said I cant use the give foundation and they wouldn't make a one time exception because it was only M-Thur. I let the staff know I was told differently last night or I wouldnt have made a 2 hour one way trip. That is the staffs fault for giving me misinformation. This course is definitely not worth $65 rack rate.
