Feedback on site design, please...

//edit: Most of the post doesn't apply anymore, but I won't go and edit it:
Myself and a crony of mine have been working on a site for several months now. We've got the design refined and probably finalized. It's for a local golf course. I'm wondering, could you folks please check it out and tell me what you think. Any suggestions are welcome.
Right now I'm particularly interested in knowing whether the links on the contact page display correctly in Firefox. They should be a light shade of green, rather than the standard hyperlink blue. For some reason, I was unable to redefine the stock A tag in the css and have that change affect FF, although it did work in IE. I have recently changed it to have its own class, and I changed those links to that class. However, crony says that they still show up blue in FF for him, but the other classes of A tag (such as the ones that show hole numbers on the scorecard, and the hyperlink to Nexlia in the footer, both show up as the class defines them in the css... how does it look to you? Does anyone know why I can't redefine the A tag in the CSS for FF? I can't find any info on the web about that difference...
One more thing I'd like to note - the top part from the banner down to the rollover menu, and the bottom from the HR down are both include files - rather than paste the same code into every file on the site, we have an include statement at the top and bottom of each page, so that any changes to the top or bottom only has to be performed once on an include file, rather than on every page on the site.
//edit: The site is currently in a trial phase under: www.obannoncreek.com
Thanks!

Main page: The first thing that jumps out at me on the front page is the buttons. If at all possible, try to find some matching button art. Second thing is that block of text: there's a lot of information in there that I'm too lazy to read (I read it anyway but this is the mentality of someone visiting your site). I see lots of things in there that would make a great bulleted list.
Site layout: Excellent!
Miscellaneous: Staff page could use some mugshots.
Overall it looks great and with a few finishing touches it'll be awesome.

Thanks for checking it out and telling me what you think - any clue why my links are still blue in FF?

Oh, and how do the links look in FF now? I think I may have fixed it...
I think the switch from regular to italic is a little odd here: This would work better if there was a list of several items with the same style: With just one item I might put the entire sentence in italics.
I'm nitpicking - my overall impression is very positive. You've done a fine job.
I'd make sure the check clears for your web design work first.
The member log in screen could be aligned right, so it doesn't crowd up the middle.
The middle text seems really cramped. I would move the temperature readings to the bottom, and spread the text acrossed the screen instead of straight down, this would make the site seem less scary to visiters.
Thats just what I see from the home page, I'm in school now with my teacher right next to me so I can't be doing too much stuff off topic.

I think your site is great and the colour scheme used is quite good as it is relative to a golf club. I have a question. Did you use any software or did you handcode it yourself (and with your friemd). Also, did you use HTML? i think you mixed in a bit of Javascript as well right?
Your site is not 100% correct :o
Yet you did this by hand.
