...drive is in just a couple of weeks, I decide it's worth finding out. Invoking my Crimson credentials, I arrange for a tour. Browsing through the club's web site in preparation for my visit, I can't help but notice that disconcerting language keeps creeping into the virtual tour: "Beginning with luncheon, food and drink are served well into the evening with a menu that changes three times daily.
