Who Says Golf Is Just a Game? The three story Grecian facade of the "clubhouse sits amidst scuplted, emerald lawns and colorful floral landscaping.It appears as an apparition, a gleaming white, ante-bellum plantation house transported from somewhere in Southern Georgia. The mood in the air is festive as the crowd swirls in and around the stately edifice. There is an expectant air of anticipation for the coming duel in the noonday sun.
