In addition to the course's many amenities, it's also the home of the First Tee of Chesterfield, an organization that strives to positively impact the lives of young people by providing educational programs that guild character, instill life-enhancing values and promote healthy choices through the game of golf.

Buddy's is actually the perfect name for this bar, as you will more than likely be "buddies" with several of the people here because of both the venue's popularity and its unusually small size. Actually, this popular under-30s crowd watering hole is five times longer than it is wide, so you will press the flesh quite a bit, even if you are just heading to the bar. Buddy's serves a light menu early in the evening, but if you wait until later to try and get in, you might be facing at least a 15-minute wait outside. Then again, you might make a new "buddy" before you even enter the bar!
