    Good pricing on a fun course !  They have Dynamic ( variable ) pricing which I asked them not to do with a big group.   I talked to the person who booked this and asked them not to use the variable pricing since I was bringing a big group. I also talked to the overall person in charge about how  that changing prices is confusing with a big group.

    Please email   shirleyjnevins@gmail.com or call 616-361-8390 at home or 616-340-8586 on cell to reserve your spot. Make your intentions to play by Sunday evening at 8:00 PM  so we can make tee time adjustments if needed. 

    Let her know if you’re planning to play 9 or 18.

    Come alone or bring a friend for some golfing fun.  Try something new — play with someone you have not played with this season.

    After our golf challenges we can meet at the Los Portales Bar and Grill  for refreshments and a bite to eat.  

    101 West Main Street.  Lowell Michigan  49331. It is on the north side of the road.    (616) 987-3465. This is a New Mexican restaurant that has great reviews.  They will try to set up a big table for us on the deck off the back.  You will have a view of the Lowell Showboat area with great variety of food.

    See some of you Monday June 16, 2025   

    Thanks !
