Games are played today in the same way as when the course was first opened; with replica 19th-century, long-nose, hickory-shafted clubs made in St Andrews, Scotland, and "guttie" balls hit from sand tees. Many guests choose not only to play 1884 style, but to dress 1884 style as well; knicker rentals are available for $15.
