We attended a private event here and really enjoyed the classy atmosphere and the food. Our buffet style dinner was delicious and had good vegetarian options. The bartenders were all incredible and did a fantastic job remembering what we had previously ordered. The staff who brought around the pre-dinner appetizers were also fabulous and really developed a rapport with us. It made for a very enjoyable evening!

Course was magnificent, in perfect condition, and lived up to all the hype. Greens were very true, no one ever made mention of a bad roll the entire round. The staff was very courteous and helpful...from the moment we arrived, to the second we had a friendly gentleman clean and stow our clubs. Of all the clubs I've visited this one really left me impressed!!! On behalf of our group, thank you for making it such a wonderful day!!!!
