For those over 50 it was $33 and at the turn your could get a great pulled pork sandwich with a drink and chips for $7. The Amish did all the maintenance on the course and they had regular pros running the clubhouse. A couple of times I would catch myself just starring off into the beauty of the place and forget what I was there for. It was 32 miles from my home. Here it is

Absolutely gorgeous. Did the rate you quoted include a golf cart? What's more, isn't it interesting how the Amish are getting into other fields of endeavor? I know of one family that quit growing tobacco and is now growing Cannabis for making CBD oil.
