There's golf.... but I love their spa treatments.
Iris N.

Hidden gem.... beautiful resort with all the amenities. Great place to come R&R. Golf course, pool, spa, private villas, restaurants & bar. Gym, Yoga classes and great customer service.

Drove 7 hours to get to a 4:30 tee time. It's June 20th and the sun doesn't set till nearly 9. Told that carts need to be back by 7:30. Apparently they are under staffed. So we paid for 9 even though i was really looking forward to 18. Quickly realized that the understaffing extended to maintenance. Now, i don't think i'm much of a critic as i'll play all sorts of courses, but the conditions were farm-like. Tall grasses in the fairways, tee boxes that looked as bad as the greens (both had nearly equal length grass). It's the middle of prime season. If the course looks like this now, they really should just shut it down or sink some serious money into it because i have zero desire to play here again and any real management would be appalled. The cart paths are horrid and the fairways not much smoother. I'd prefer to walk and this course is basically unwalkable, but is also a terrible cart ride. Moving along, i wanted to buy some new golf shoe's, they had none. The 2 basic cocktails we ordered amounted to $34. It was a total fail from start to finish. We are at this resort for 4 nights and am worried the rest of the resort is operated as poorly now, hope i am wrong. Oh, there was no beverage cart and the restrooms were closed.

Beautiful area and challenging golf course. If you've never been there it is definitely worth making the trip.

Wanted to add that wireless and phone coverage really bad. So don't plan on that usage if you need to.

Grizzly Ranch - Such an amazing golf course with spectacular views!

It's a beautiful spot, and you might even spot some deer wandering by as you play. The Lake House is the perfect place to relax afterward. The bartenders, Shelby and Bri, serve up a solid selection of drinks with a smile. I was also impressed by their ready-to-go buffalo chicken wrap, for a premade item, it was surprisingly delicious and perfect for a quick bite before a full meal. Don't miss their smoked tri-tip and brisket, both cooked in-house and packed with flavor. The food and drink are all reasonably priced for the quality you get. Grizzly Ranch is more than just a golf course--it's a peaceful retreat with great food, drinks, and service. You never know you might even see a family of deer on your way out of the course! As a fan of wildlife it was a sight to see. Highly recommend it!

The views are spectacular! It is a big contender as a venue for our big day! The lake house is a great stop for snacks or a bite to eat. I love that they have quick ready to go items to choose from if you do not want to wait for something else off the menu that has to be prepared. Shelby was a pleasure to encounter during our visit she was our bartender turned your guide for the course. She is a very friendly person who is happy to be of assistance. I love that. Brisket and tri tip are prepared on site on there smoker they have outdoors. It was delicious the brisket tots and spicy burger are a must try!

Last night, 7/2/2025, we had dinner at FIFTY44. The restaurant was 50% full when we were seated at…read more6:30. My sides were cool, but my steak was excellent and my husband's order was perfect. The issue is the incredibly poor service. It took over 30 mins to get our drinks, over and hour to get our meal. The table next to us mentioned that it took 45 mins to get their bottle of wine. Both tables agreed had the server communicated they were short staffed and acknowledged us during our wait it we would have felt better about the situation. We were at Longboards last week and they had just let a few employees leave early since they were not busy. Then the rush arrived. Our busboy brought us water and explained that they were a short staffed, but the server would get to us as soon as she could. Dinner took a bit longer than expected, but it was within a reasonable time frame. The one server and busboy were very attentive and our three cocktails arrived quicly each time we ordered. When paying our bill we complimented the service and noticed that the restaurant was full and there was only one server and one busboy. She mentioned that the busboy was the manager and he steps in anytime help is needed. Nakoma management needs to visit Longboards and take a lesson back home.

I cannot recommend this resort unfortunately. I booked two rooms for two nights on short notice for…read morework for a coworker and myself. On our way up to the area we learned that the client we were working for was postponing by two weeks. So, upon check in I notified the front desk that we would only be staying the one night. Since we were over 24 hours until day two I expected to be charged only the one night. No Sir. They charged the full bill as if we stayed two nights. The front desk employees are not empowered to make decisions here so I asked to see the manager. She was off of course...for two days. Nobody could help me for two days. Finally after several calls the manager (Carrol Martinelli) worked up the courage to call me back. She would not budge and refund the one night and said that is their policy. This place is clearly hurting for business. Many of the rooms were not sold during our stay and this is in the middle of the summer. That I was able to get two rooms on such short notice should have told me there are issues with this resort. I don't understand how companies that do business like this expect to stay in business. I will not be booking business travel here, nor will I consider staying here with my family, though I would have come back otherwise. Please book your travel reservations with a different resort. This one does not value its customers. They are petty every chance they get.
