    Okay, we have been regular customers at this location. It has always been a great get away from the busy Dallas area to one of our favorite lakes. They recently upgraded the location with some new units. Admittedly, it was needed. The old lodge building was falling apart. I stayed in it once for a Media Bass championship. It was dated, small, and really not pleasant. However, it was cheap and it had a bed. We recently started staying at the cabins. We LOVED them. Great location and accommodations, for the right price. Well the old price... Unfortunately when they upgraded the lodge, they apparently had to upgrade the price so the customers can pay for it. We were planning our annual trip there and we were shocked at the prices and fees. Years ago a 3 night stay cost us 317.40, see screenshot. We planned a 3 night stay for this May and it was 468 dollars! We tried it for February and the price jumped up again to 135 dollars a night! (Screen shots included) My wife asked them them about it on Facebook and they replied to her, (screenshot) claimed they haven't changed the prices, and then deleted the post. We understand prices are going up. What we don't understand is how the older/dated cabin prices had to be raised as well. There was fist holes in the back of the bathroom door we stayed in and a black widow by the front steps. What bothered us the most is how y'all just deleted the real question. Well, try and delete this. We are proven, paid, legitimate paying previous customers with a genuine concern. Done. Y'all can have your high prices. It's an east Texas fishing lake. This location has been an affordable option for decades. You have lost a customer. Also, hope y'all have upgraded your check in process. It was always event signing paper after paper after paper. It felt like we were buying a house every time we arrived. Good luck with your softwear limitations.

    I have spent the last 2 nights in the new cabins and they are beautiful! There are so many improvements to this place now that it is under new management. The new cabins and the new menu are going to bring me back for sure.

    Booked their 'Lakeview suite' for Memorial Day weekend to spend with family. Not exactly sure what to expect as the description online was vague with limited pictures. There are 3 bedrooms, all have twin sized begs in them, and 2 small bathrooms connected to the back of 2 of the bedrooms. Resort provides a few clean towels and small bars of travel soap. In the 4th room there is a small kitchenette-see pic, 2 burners, tiny sink and below the stove is a dorm sized fridge. The rooms are all side by side and connected in front via a long hallway. Climbing a staircase to get to the suite is required. Positives-opens up directly to the lake with just a few steps you are in the water, AC is extremely cold, and a short walk to their restaurant/store. We even rented the kayaks and canoe while here, which were very reasonably priced. The staff that works here were extremely friendly. Negative-this place needs some TLC. It is very outdated, old, weird carpet, even in kitchen area, both toilets clogged during our stay, and also needs a deep cleaning. Shower stalls are pretty small and needs serious cleaning/or please update them! I also wish at least 1 of the rooms would have a queen or a king, not all twin beds. Also they had a couple of bbq grills outside but they were old/broken/not usable. Overall we really had a good time, but the accommodations were very disappointing.

    I decided to give the Lake Palestine Resort a few days of my business and I do not regret it. Our intentions were to enjoy ourselves here and we did exactly that. We left from Houston to have some time away from the big city. From the beginning the customer service was excellent! Everyone was so welcoming and friendly. When we opened the door to our room it was absolutely adorable. I stayed in a 2 story room. The room was as stated with plenty of accommodations and fully furnished. I'm not sure why people are complaining about things being "outdated" because I feel that not only did the older television and the classic bed spread prints give it the homey atmosphere that I desired and a sweet pure character to the room itself but, I feel that the fact that I was able to wake up and walk directly onto the pier and see the beautiful morning sun and enjoy my coffee on a lovely backdoor patio made up for anything that you could possibly find to complain about. I have no complaints whatsoever. The kitchen is full of cups, a fridge that works, an oven, a coffee maker with a cute little window I was able to enjoy my dinner at. The bathroom had a large mirror, a nice shower, plenty of soap and towels, a working toilet, etc. The downstairs bedroom has a large mirror, 3 beds, a large couch, a tv, and a cold A/C. As previously stated, I have absolutely no complaints about the Lake Palestine Resorts. This place is amazing. My father experienced pure heartwarming nostalgia staying here. I now have this experience to keep forever in my mind as a happy place where I hope to come again.

    Nice place to go listen to live music. The food is great. It is a little pricey, but probably right in line with the rest of the economy.

We did live an hour from Tyler for a few years before but wanted closer access to Tyler since we loved it so much. We chose Eagles Bluff as our forever home and are ecstatic to have found it! Also we have found so many transplants here from 'other' states as well who feel the way we do!! It's a lovely quiet neighborhood with friendly residents and staff, but also is an easy drive to Tyler for a good variety of shopping and eating at so many fabulous restaurants!! Plus there's an abundance of great doctors there as well. The golfers seem happy with that; I just enjoy watching them across the pond from our backyard. If you're looking for a nice place to live with interesting nice people & great amenities/activities you should arrange a visit and talk to anyone you meet here to ask whatever you'd like to know, I'm sure they'd be helpful!

I will start at the beginning when I called to schedule a tea time. I called 5 days in advance and made sure that the person I was speaking to understood and that it was clear, out of the 4 people golfing 2 of them had never golfed before. My son and his girlfriend flew in from California and we went for our tea time. We again reminded them two of us had never golfed before. They never said a word or gave us any suggestions etc. for having new people. We started out on the first hole and immediately decided we would just play off best ball. Before we even got to the green (approximately 5-10 minutes after starting) an employee rolled up to us and asked us to allow the next group to play through. We said absolutely because we expected that considering the circumstances. another 10 minutes went by and the employee came up to us again and then about 45 minutes into the time he came again. At this point we said we don't mind if people need to pass us up and then they said well we prefer that y'all just go back to the office and they will refund you your money. WHAT!?!?! What kind of service is this. How are people supposed to learn how to play golf if you can't even get to hole 4, but we were only playing for an hour. I was one of the first time players and I was particularly feeling rushed, discouraged and just completely turned off by the way this was handled. Why would they schedule tea times just a few minutes in-between each group.? How do people learn if they are kicked off because they don't golf fast enough? Why was this employee coming up to us to asked us for others behind us to play through. My husband and son are golfers and never have they even been approached by course staff to ask for other golfers to play through and they have played at many courses in California. Golfers talk to other golfers in regards to this. I am super sad, I was embarrassed in front of my guests because this just didn't feel like East Texas hospitality, it actually felt like something you would feel in California though this has never been experienced at any course my son and husband have played at in California before. It's obvious that they overbook. Also when has golf ever been about playing through fast? Anyways, I hope the owners of this course read this post and can explain to me why we would be treated this way. In my opinion you lost potential/future customers because I really want to learn to be able to play with my husband and son in the future. At this time we will chose to go to another course.

    This course is horrible and terrible service, I only use the driving range here, greens are Half…read moredead and fairways don't drain at all.

    This was my first visit to "The Carthage Country Club" unfortunately it was only for a business…read moreluncheon and not a round of golf at this seasoned golf course that was built in 1965. If you've been to any of these smaller golf courses which are typically operated out of some aging building that could hardly be called a club house with a small pro shop to sign in and purchase a few of the bare necessities that you forget to buy at the local sporting goods store or in this case maybe it's a Walmart you're in for a big surprise as you approach the clubhouse from the highway. This newer modern club house that replaced what I would assume to be the original accommodations that burnt down in the recent past is nothing short of a dream come true for the new owners. Although I didn't take the full tour I was impressed with the parking lot, front entrance and restaurant. I must tell those of you who aren't very observant check out the legs on the dining room tables, the legs are actual rifles, my first thought after seeing this was "how fitting", this rural course I'm sure has an abundance of wildlife that is native to the area and during my few trips through the area camouflage seems to be the most popular dress in these parts. The restaurant features a simple menu for lunch consisting of hamburgers, salads and sandwiches. Steak and seafood are available Friday and Saturday evenings and after sampling a few of their homemade offerings for lunch I am sure it's definitely a wait on the weekend for dinner. The service was equal to the food quality which I found to be refreshingly simply but full of favor using quality ingredients. You definitely need to try this place out, the food preparation yelps passion and is priced very reasonable. I hope to return soon.
