The room was down right cold when we were seated - almost expected with all seats occupied. HVA/C was corrected as the parties departed. Our 4 top was the last to leave. Now onto our service - she was amazingly polite as she recognized we had not seen each other in nearly a year. Lots of news about our families, mutual friends and a few interesting neighborhood characters. Wine selections matched everyone's entree choice. Their French Onion soup was simply to die for, followed by a selection that ranged from a simple Fish & Chips, a crisp Cobb Salad, a flaky Chicken Pot Pie & aromatic Beef Bourguignon. All this was topped off with a warm double chocolate brownie smothered with a creamy French vanilla ice cream - thankfully the server figured correctly as she delivered this sumptuous treat with 4 spoons

I screwed up my Rent-A-Car by not bringing my drivers license. So once I got to the resort, I was very nervous as to how I was gonna get around because the place is so big. They told me about their shuttle system. I kid you not that no matter where you are. There is a phone that somebody will pick up instantly and call a shuttle for you and that shuttle will most likely arrive within a matter of two minutes. It is unbelievable how efficient that system is. It absolutely blew my mind. I never needed a car. My clubs were waiting for me every morning at the course without having to carry them in and out of the hotel. Every single place that I ate had amazing food and amazing drinks. I went there during November when the price drops and I was absolutely blown away at how cheap it was to stay in such a beautiful room. The Golf Course courses were amazing and yes, they are very difficult. It's not even a question. I'll be back. There's another 1 star review on here of a gentleman that says you're forced to stay in a $2000 a night two bedroom room if you wanna play golf at the Resort. That is absolutely not true. As long as you're staying at the resort, no matter what room you pick you have access to Golf. I was pretty baffled by some of the Bed reviews that I read. Either they came many years ago or these people were just making stuff up.

The 12 of us stayed at the resort and played #2, #4 and the Cradle. With #2 you're required to pay an on-site caddie and then you tip afterwards. The caddie will carry two bags and they must be under 25 pounds. They are very focused on pace of play and they tell you at the beginning of your round that if you fall behind you may be asked to skip a hole. This is the quintessential Donald Ross design. It's very straight forward and everything is right in front of you for the most part. No severe dog legs, no water and virtually no out of bounds. The sand and grass are called Waste Areas and you are allowed to ground your club, take practice swings, lift clean and place. The Waste Areas are the borders of the fairway so even if you're off the fairway you still have a shot. There are a few areas where the pine trees are so thick you'll be penalized. It's very tough to get steady footing if you're in the pine straw. I was pleasantly surprised that the Par 3's are all accessible. There are a few holes where there is elevated green which robs you from seeing your ball go in the hole if you're close in to the green when you make and up and down. These greens are lightning fast and there are NO flat areas. All the greens are crowned so when you are playing for the first time, you will be challenged for strategic shot placement on the green. My highlight was a hole out on #14 from about 40 yards away but I never saw it go in so that was very disappointing. The 4 some in front of us was on the 15th tee which is just adjacent to the green so I got an ovation so I had that going for me. Our Caddie was a guy named Chris who said he was 70. He was in great shape and carried two bags with no problems. He told me at the beginning of the round 'you will only need three or four balls. He was right, I didn't lose a single ball. We got in 26,000 steps which is about 13 miles and what an experience it was.

It's a 9 hole Par 3 course where you hit off matts, there are no grass tee options. You can acquire a carry bag at the first tee box at no charge. The green fee is $50 bucks. There is piped in music throughout the course and they allow up to six in a group. t takes on a very festive vibe as there is a full bar on site. There are many chairs and tables scattered around so the spectators will be critiquing your game and you may get an occasional cat call if you miss a short putt. You'll also get an ovation if you place a good tee shot or make a long putt. It is such a good time and even more fun when you have a group of people and are playing skins or closest to the pin. Our group was not happy hitting off the matts but this course get's so much traffic it would be impossible to keep the tee boxes in fresh condition. My Son James nearly had two Aces landing within inches of the pin so that was a highlight. The course record is 18 by Jackson Van Paris as of 10/30/23
