You know the old saying "if you have to ask, you cannot afford it".

My first impression on entering the front door of the Restaurant was "class". Everything from the way the hostess greets you, to the way the staff are dressed, exudes "high end". The quality of the food and the ambience of the different restaurant areas is meant to impress anyone looking for a high end dining experience. Once again, for that you gotta pay!

I am sure the Pool Bar is being run on the same principle and the effect will draw people who do not have a problem with the cost and there are many of those people here. It will also draw outsiders looking to play a championship course followed by lunch in a very pleasant atmosphere. As other golfers have posted, there are plenty of alternatives to lunch at other less expensive places.

But this is just MHO!!!!

Do you understand that a pool bar is a low end fast food joint, kinda like McDonalds. No, they don't have a hostess and the front door is a sqeuky screen door adjacent to a five space golf cart parking lot. How they think that golfers will pay $15+ dollars for a burger that's 25% more expensive than most other golf course venues and a coke with no refills defies rational imagination. If you can, please tell me how a pool bar that doesen't sell pitchers or liquor is going to attract high end clientelle? Mr. John is living in a dream world.
