The shortest leg is 5.6 miles, while the longest is 16.3 miles. Exchanges are well-marked and manned by volunteers. Method of exchange is a simple touch off by hand.

  To all 2012 Wine & Cheese Color Tour Participants, as you are aware, we are currently experiencing some non-wine tour conducive weather. That will not deter us from enjoying some nice wine & food this weekend! If the weather will not permit us to tour the course on Saturday, we will move the wine & cheese (& beer) tasting into the Duck Blind Grille in the Main Lodge. We will still be able to see what is left of the beautiful colors and still stay warm & dry. Please let us know today if you do plan on attending because we still have over 60 people on a wait list. The cancellation deadline is 4pm today. Your member accounts and credit cards have already been charged for tickets so to receive a refund, please contact me at lryan@otsegoclub.com by 4pm to receive a credit on your account.
