What an absolute treat this place is. It's pricey, but worth every penny. Completely gorgeous resort, with lovely rooms, on site restaurant and also outdoor pub, and beautiful outdoor and indoor pools. Food was fantastic, though not cheap. Lots of onsite activities to keep busy, especially for kids, such as a putting green, ladder ball, cornhole boards, and even a small frisbee golf course. We loved every minute of our stay, and would stay here again in a heartbeat.

Spent 4 nights here for a layover golf trip. The property is beautiful and immaculate, and pretty self-contained. The resort is a bit removed from outside dining options, and the onsite dining amenities a bit limited but good. The onsite golf courses, which were our focus, were beautiful.

We stayed here for one night with our family on our way to Florida, and it was the perfect stop. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming from check-in to check-out. The resort is beautiful and does a fantastic job catering to families. There were fun activities and treats for kids throughout the day, which made our short stay feel extra special. The outdoor pool and water play area were a huge hit, and the putting green, cornhole, and other lawn games gave the kids plenty to do. We also appreciated the smaller indoor pool and hot tub. The food and drink options were excellent, making it easy to relax without leaving the property. We only wish we had more time to enjoy everything the resort has to offer. Highly recommend this resort for families, whether you’re staying for a vacation or just passing through on a road trip!

My husband and I stayed at the resort solely because he wanted to play the course again after more than 2 decades. The staff was very cordial and helpful, and I loved chatting with the AU-affiliated staff. I did not give a higher score because it seemed that they were short-staffed. Also, after breakfast, I was sitting in the shade, enjoying the morning while reading, when a staff member came outside to start cleaning the furniture. Apparently, his starting point was my area around the fire pit. It was awkward having him spray and wipe down the chairs while I was sitting there...he could have started anywhere else. Also, at dinner that night, I had to ask our waiter to please remove the cleaning solution and the dirty towel that were left on the table next to me, in plain sight.
