the private course is still open, just played it 09/09/10,,but yes most of the area is closed or seems like it is closed to the lack of customers/players/hotel guest at Loew's?? The course was in not so good shape ,but it is summer and I think they are getting ready to overseed or close the golf course??? Greens were slower than expected? And they do not let you drive and park at the golf course unless you are a member,so be there early from the loew's hotel to get shuttle to course...the scenery was neat,but the staff was not so helpful,due to a shotgun tournament, no food was able to be ordered,so of course chips and candy bars are your only source of food to go???
I guess they did not want to make any money on sandwiches or something better to eat... Lucky for us that the bbq afterwards was well worth it..
