Me and a friend of mine bought a weekend deal from Living Social Escapes to give our husbands for Christmas gifts for a White Bluff Resort.
The deal was for 1 night and 2 rounds of golf for $140. This was a great deal!! We had such a fun get away here and definitely recommend it for a quite, relaxing weekend vacation.
The 4 of us made the 4 hour drive to Whitney from Houston on a Saturday morning and got there around lunch time. Our rooms were not ready yet we we had lunch at the grill next to the gift shop. It was typical grill/bar food...chicken fingers, wraps, burgers fries. It was good, nothing special though. The guys had a tee time on the old golf course around 2 so us 2 girls went to check in to the rooms then headed to the pool! The pool was empty...so it was quiet and relaxing but the water was still FREEZING so we did not get in. Our rooms overlooked Lake Whitney and it was beautiful. The rooms were a good size and clean. One bad thing- all their rooms have 2 queen beds. They do not have any rooms with a king bed. Not a huge deal but still a little annoying. All rooms have a balcony over looking the lake with a table and chairs.
After the guys finsihed golfing we all showered, got ready and went to dinner at the Lighthouse restaurant that was part of the Resort. This part was AWFUL....our service was terrible, the food was terrible and we were so dissapointed when we left there...and HUNGRY! That was really the only bad thing I can say about the Resort. We were expecting a nice, "fancy" menu with options like steak, lobster, fish, etc... but it was pretty much the same lunch menu with a couple extra "nicer" dishes.
After dinner we hung out by the fire pit that was next to our rooms. The next day the guys played golf again, this time on the new course. The liked both courses but definitely the new one better. While they golfed I got a facial and a hot stone massage....amazing!! My friend got a pedicure and hot stone massage. We had such a fun time having a spa day while they guys golfed. The spa is very nice, clean and calming.
The road that leads you to the water where the actual rooms are and the restaurant is is beaufitul...winding hills, passing pretty houses, a covered wooden bridge, etc. Its about a 2-3 mile drive once you get off the main road.
I can't imagine coming here and staying longer than a couple days, but if you are in Texas and looking for a quite, short, romantic weekend this is a great option! read more
