| - JD hit this review right on the head. If you're a big golf fan and not a freshmen in college looking to drink your face off, this is NOT the place you want to spend Super Bowl weekend. More people come to party than they do to watch golf. I would recommend attending this thing during the week (Saturday had record attendance at 178,000+ which meant spending an hour to get in and an hour getting out of this place). Overall, we had a good time though.
If you're planning on coming next year, here's a few tips: 1) pay for reserved parking- the course is at least a mile from the parking lot and if you do this, they will transport you back and forth in a charter bus, 2) COME EARLY- otherwise you will spend 45 minutes waiting in line for a bracelet that is REQUIRED to order a drink (your ID alone will not suffice), 3) wear sunscreen and drink a lot of water- the weather was suppose to be in the high 60s / low 70s... it felt like it was closer to 90 and 4) BRING CHAIRS AND SET UP SHOP AT YOUR FAVORITE HOLE- you don't want to fight this crazy crowd following 1 player from hole to hole. You won't get to see or enjoy anything. By doing this, you won't have to fight for a good view and you can sit back, relax, drink a beer and see all the players go through.
We salvaged our time and will try again next year, 2 Stars ** for the WMPO in 2013.
