The course’s terrain gently undulates through mature hardwoods and well-manicured fairways, inviting players to engage with its carefully placed bunkers and water hazards that strategically guard the approach to each green.

Beautiful day with amazing fall color. Great golf course.

The views are stunning, but the food just doesn’t hold up. The menu is very 90s—lots of heavy meat dishes, and everything is served with a tiny, bland salad of chunks of iceberg lettuce and tomatoes. My sister was served an appetizer salad even though she ordered an entree salad. I could tell a lot of the food was frozen. It was inconsistently cooked and very bland. The only flavorful thing on my dish was a gelatinous mango sauce that tasted more like a sundae topping than a duck sauce. I ordered the crème brûlée for dessert, and it was raw in the middle with an incredibly thick layer of burnt sugar on top. For what they charge, I expected so much better than reheated Sisco. I will note that the service was quite good. However, the food was nowhere near good enough to make me come back.
