Food was excellent. The service was the best. The ambiance is so nice and the view was spectacular. And I would drive 100 miles for the house margaritas. And I did--we drove from Wolfeboro just to eat here. Nothing out of the bottle for mixers, it was all fresh pureed.

This place was a total, epic train wreck. The course was in horrible condition. By their own admission, the greens had not been mowed in SEVERAL days. What's even worse were the fairways. They had also not been mowed in at least a couple of weeks. There was barely any difference between the "fairway" and the rough. It was so bad, I lost three balls in the fairway. I'm a 3 handicap so expected something in better shape to play. Staff was nice but facility is a joke, The "restaurant" is actually a Mexican restaurant off property (next door). The pro shop didn't even know their own rates (as published on their website). I would not suggest playing this course until the buy a mower or 8.

Disc golf was fantastic despite the weather. Only thing needed is permanent tee pads.
