Should we expect astro-turf greens like many extreme northern courses have?

Answer: No way again. The course is built with high quality well manicured grass greens built on standard USGA sand foundations so that your ball will respond just like it does on the better quality courses you play on in warmer climates. A few gentlemen last summer actually mentioned the greens were in better shape than the ones they were used to playing on in Florida. That said, northern climes can be tough on grass in the winter so that some of the greens show some "snow mold" damage during the early part of the season. Short of that, the course is immaculate. The owner actually puts in over 80 hours snow-blowing the entire course in April to make sure it greens up early and is ready by early May.
