Never played golf here, but the Christmas light display the club and some partners including the city put on in December is terrific. It attracts people from all over and is a lot more spectacular than the Zoo Lights and the best part is that it's free.
You can see some of it from 14th St. NW, but the whole thing is worth stopping for. Kids are tobogganing, people are walking around laughing, it's a great display.
If you see it this winter on your way to or from downtown, stop in and take the kids.....
