Comments:
Coffee not served until late in season
North Kingstown wasn't open to purchase coffee
Some better than others.  Some are excellent.  In some cases that influences my choice of tournaments.  Very disappointed in North Kingstown food was terrible
Some excellent - only one or two fair
Depends on course
