I usually make a trip in October with my primary purpose being to get in the last 3 or 4 rounds of my season (My home season is usually late April to Mid-October). For reasearch I go onto VIP golf https://www.vipgolfservices.com/ to get an idea of course conditions, costs, etc. They do a good job of keeping everything up to date and you can call to see if they are what you are looking for. If you go enjoy it. I'll be under several feet fo snow.
