It was a chilly spring day, but the sun was shining and we wanted to get out and play a round of…read moregolf. We often like to explore new courses, so my teenage son and I made our way over to Great Cove. If you want a fancy country club, this is not necessarily what you are looking for. But I love and support local golf courses, especially those that offer great customer service and sincerely appreciate and care about their guests. When we drove up, we were greeted by the President of the club board. She was friendly and personal and made us feel welcome. To add to our day, this was a fun course to play with a lot of variety. Some short, some long, a few good dog legs, and some water obstacles. Not bad for a decent price, including cart. The tee boxes were well-taken care of and the greens trimmed and allowed for some decent putting, though it is admittedly early in the year. Nonetheless, this place was warm, welcoming, fun, and affordable, making a perfect day for a father/son outing.

This is the best value for a golf course in the area. Oakbrook is a public course that's…read moremaintained as well as any private course. It's a very open course - not a lot of rough, and not too many hazards. It's an excellent place for beginners to learn the game. I always had fun playing at Oakbrook. The cost to play is about half of what I paid at other courses, and I've enjoyed Oakbrook more than the others. The driving range is also inexpensive - about 75% what you'd pay elsewhere. It's a slight drive from Johnstown, but it's definitely worth it.

Let me just start out by saying how beautiful the lodge here is. My friends and I came here for…read moredinner on a Tuesday night and the restaurant was pretty quiet so we were seated right away. The waitress took some time to get to us and overall service was a little slow but that didn't take away from our overall experience and how good the food was. We all ordered drinks a personal favorite was the coffee flavored beer it was very good. Many of us ordered wings and appetizers in the wings were absolutely delicious: I highly recommend the wings. They are crunchy and super flavorful. For my meal, I actually ordered a flatbread, the chicken bacon ranch flatbread to be exact. It was very very good. Overall it was a Fantastic meal. If you find yourself down in Indian Lake I highly recommend grabbing some dinner here!

I got a burger which was delicious as well. Had a wonderful drink from the bar, something with Luau in the name? My only complaint was the other server in this establishment, she was not our waitress but at the next table. A young brunette, We think her name was Mackenzie, or Makenna maybe? i Dont know if she was friends with the customers at the table next to us, or not. But she was very loud, it was hard to hear ourselves talking over her, and there was a lot of cussing going on. And also some quite vulgar talk, which was very offputting in a restaurant like this. I would have been appalled if I heard this kind of language at Mcdonald's, and I Certainly don't want to hear it at a nice and expensive place like this. And there were small children around as well. I definitely would have walked out if I heard someone talking like that in front of my kids. I tried looking around for management, but our server was busy and i didnt want to drag her into this situation. I'm sure this isn't the norm, because everyone else there seemed lovely and professional. This seems like an upscale place, but employees like that will make us want to never come back, and bad for business I'm sure, especially for the older clientele that were there. I hope this situation gets corrected, because we would like to come back again.

My mom talked about this property for years. She lived in Pennsylvania and attended a wedding and…read moreshe was always convinced I'd love it here. I was living in California and every time I'd get back to the east coast, she'd suggest going here. Unfortunately, we never got to experience a visit here together after she suddenly passed from an aggressive cancer. It became my goal to come here and visit with her on my mind. Years later, I moved back to the east coast and booked a random weekend just for fun. I'm married now with kids so we made the drive here to experience all that the Omni had to offer. I've stayed at other Omni resorts and I wavered on what this place would land on ratings wise. Overall, it's a beautiful hotel with a lot of history that I loved learning about. My kids absolutely loved the indoor pool. It is as gorgeous as the photos look. It's a nice spot, especially when it's a chilly Pennsylvania day like when we visited. With that said, there isn't a ton to do here with kids. It was the perfect amount of time for us, but met other families who were struggling to keep their own kids occupied. There are some really nice trails around the property, which are perfect. And you can also check out some free toys and games from one of the shops inside. That said, if you don't have great weather, options can be limited. We didn't get a chance to visit the spa, but the space looks amazing from what I saw online. The rooms were spacious and well set up for a family. We ate at a few of the restaurants on site. Service was mostly on point though the tavern was really off. Our server was perfectly friendly but pretty much messed up the entire order. I would go back but not sure I'd be eager to rush back anytime soon. We did enjoy the experience but I think a few bumps could be worked out such as helping with our luggage upon arrival. We were able to valet but couldn't find anyone to help us with the bags and the rolling carts don't easily go over the front door to get inside. Between me and my partner, we were able to make it work. But it's those small details that make a property really stand out.
