    Great golf course! The tee boxes are nice, the fairway and rough are great, and the greens are smooth. Favorite place to play golf:)

    We were traveling for our sons AAU program and picked Toftrees resort as the location was very…read moreconvenient. Unfortunately, when we arrived the rooms looked nothing like the pictures online. They are worn down, the hotel also has a pretty bad smell overall. I figured it was fine we were only here for 1 night. Well unfortunately around 5am the next morning, the fire alarms started to go off around the whole hotel. I waited a few minutes before going up to the front desk to see what was going on. The man at the front said he called engineering and they were supposed to be on their way. My son and I walked around the premise until they sorted out the alarms. At this point it's 6:30 AM. My son asked if he could look at the cup on the golf course since he had never seen one before. He must have been on the course for 3 minutes before walking back to the patio they have behind the resort. As he is approaching someone stops and yells "hey are you staying at the resort, you can't be on the golf course". He is 11 years old, and we would not have been outside in the first place if your hotel didn't have alarms going off at 5 in the morning. I would not recommend. 0/10 if I could rate that low.

    We stayed there last night, and everything seemed fine. Nice room. At about 6:15 am, the next…read moremorning, I was awoken by the loudest sound. Literally sounded like construction above us. The front desk said it was likely a bathroom fan. Well, he was right! The bathroom fans (from other rooms) in this hotel are sooooo loud! You will not be able to go back to sleep! I think that's a very important tidbit when it comes to booking a place to stay overnight.

As far as quality goes, it really depends on what you get and how much you spend. Go with your top notch gear like Under Armour and Nike, you are guaranteed quality. From hoodies, to tshirts, to shorts, they carry the whole line. Some of the embroidered hoodies are actually sweet. So sweet that I picked up two. If your pockets aren't quite as deep, then you can go with the misc brands that they carry. The t-shirts are screen printed and run under $10, and you can easily find a hoody around $20. Just don't expect too much from the quality, but then again, you get what you pay for. On top of apparel, they also carry some misc goods. You can snag some goodies for your pets, or even your golf clubs. Tons of variety here. Varying quality depending on how much you want to spend, but c'mon. You have to shell out a little more to get the best.

They always have specials and clearance items on t-shirts and jerseys. They have a nice selection of merchandise as well. You can typically get a t-shirt with a good design for under $10.

    I've come to respect smaller, local mountains like Tussey. No, they aren't going to draw numbers by…read moretheir 500-foot vertical drops, but for a few hours with feet in the bindings, hills such as this are great. Much better to have them nearby than...not skiing! I've always wondered about Tussey after knowing the family who owned it in the '80's- the Aicholtz, or something like that-who went on to own Blue Marsh Ski Area, where I worked for a season. Recent trips to PSU have piqued that interest, and a free Saturday before THON Hoops on Sunday was a no brainer. Kids and dad are skiing! It was a really good day. Let me hit the main points below... Pros: 1. Layout of facility: Parking is close very to lodge and base of hill...two rows away close. Ticket shop and rental shops are well marked. No crazy uphill climbs to get to the lift. Logical layouts, bathrooms accessible. 2. Reasonable Prices: Rentals were $31; noon to 5 lift ticket was $30. Combined, this is cheaper than Elk's lift ticket alone! Rentals were a bit steep, but the cheap lift ticket absorbs it. 3. Terrain: Ok, only 5 runs, granted. However, for 5 runs, one is a beginner (Deer Run), two are great intermediates with wide runs and decent drops (Utah and Tuscarora), and one with decent moguls (Grizzly). Plus, Tuscarora and Utah have cool terrain park elements. Overall, for 5 runs they are varied and interesting. Oh, and a beginner hill...didn't spend time there. Cons: 1. Food: One rather nasty hamburger was consumed ($4) before we purchased the rest of the meals from a vendor outside on the patio outside the lodge...which was really good. Choose this option! 2. Lack of vertical: 500 feet go by quickly, but short lift lines and a quick ride to the top means you're back on your skis quickly! Longest trail is .75 mile. Other: 1. Clientele: Lots of college kids here- no surprise. There was some yahoo-ish-ness from some of the skiers and boarders, typical for a college town. Also some really talented skiers and boarders! 2. Snow: decent conditions for a 40-degree day. Good snow pack, with one bald-spot wearing through. Some ice at the top. 3. Lodge: Definitely smallish, lacking in character...but clean, with some good views. Wife spent most of the day inside with #3 non-skiing son, and was grateful for the wifi. 4. Rental Shop: Small space, cramped, but it does the job. Newer looking skiis. 5. Staff: Call this one neutral; not overtly friendly. Lack of visible ski patrol members; usually, they are busy training and practicing hauling injury dummies down the mountain. Very few present today. Verdict: Locals should be grateful for this hill; it serves a purpose. It offers decent enough skiing without the drive, perfect for a few hours in the afternoon or evening. Odds are we will be back, as it was a perfect venue for our kids to further their skills.

It got dark, the course was packed and they refused to turn on lights despite it being open until 9. Workers were super rude and seemingly drunk. They crashed the golf carts they were trying to park onto the desk and utility poles. Stick to Happy Valley Mini Golf- this place is a joke.
