I loved this place when we first came. The grounds are beautiful and the venue is generally great. But the security measures are a bit over the top. No purses? Glad the parking lot attendant clued us in before getting to the gate. Only a clutch "about the size of you hand" allowed. You can use a12"x12" clear plastic "handbag" or a gallon zip lock. For Steve Martin and Martin Short? Really? So I am leaving 4 Star rating. Venue gets a 5, -2 for inconvenience, plus 1 for express lane if you have no bag to check at all (although that line moved as slower or slower than the bag line to start).
