Looked like a municipal course..no trees..wide open ...wind roars through there...greens nice...fairways dry and hard. Hitting into the wind will be challenging for all except the most seasoned players.

You can just tell by the way they write any response about any restaurant or any TV golf course who the *&&(&(*& are. They just don't like anything except 'fine dining' or 'country club' golf. Well guess what - there isn't any 'fine dining' in TV and the golf courses aren't Winged Foot or Pebble Beach.

There isn't one tree on the Old Course and many people consider it the best course in the world. So that isn't even a valid criticism. And yes you can't judge the fairways yet - give them a year or more. Evans Prairie has numerous vistas of protected marsh lands that give it a certain charm. And you know what? It isn't easy. I've played with guys who shoot 93 and then say it's too short. Laughable!

I have the same problem with people who won't play the execs out of golf snobbery. It's beneath them! That's a load of crap. Come play Pelican or Amberwood or Yankee and tell me it's easy. Bull!

Like Dennis Miller - that's tonight's rant!

Must agree with you Russ. The continous bashing does get old after awhile. Don't think they will ever be satisfied.

We enjoy going to Evan's Prairie. The wait staff, bartenders, managers & owner are all very nice people. Everyone is always smiling. I love the bar & the view.
Most of the time when we go I get the Key Lime Shrimp. That is so yummy. Hubby usually gets the Chicken Fettuccine Alfredo.
Good drinks & drink prices !!

I haven't had their pulled pork yet, but Codys also puts pickle slices along with cole slaw on their pulled pork. it's delicious.
I'll have to try Evan's P. now

You are spot on, Russ!!

To support Russ' point I am going to be Debbie Downer and relate a terrible experience at Evans Prarie last night. Believe me I do not go out looking for fine dining, but I do
appreciate a decent meal. I ordered the chicken with balsamic glaze and it was dry and tasteless - the vegetable were nothing short of mushy. Two burgers were ordered and they were also disappointing along with cold fries. One party did order the pork shank and enjoyed it.
No I did not say anything to the manager because a)I don't return food to the kitchen 'cause I have grave concerns what happens to it there and b)wasn't worth my time. I just won't go back, but I'm sure it won't matter because they are packing them in. Just one person's opinion.

Our golf group went Saturday afternoon. We all had good food and great service. They were busy but not packed. Could be time of day.

Heard nothing but great things about the eats at Evans Prarie. Guess we'll have to 'motor on up there' real soon.
