Thank you all for the valuable information.
Is it possible to rent clubs at George Wright?
According to the website for the course, there are rental clubs available, not sure what type they have there. The Pro Shop usually has a small selection of Titleist and Cleveland equipment.

What were you driving, a Formula 1 car? It's almost an hour under normal conditions for me to get there.
