Hidden golf gem expresses it the most. We've been coming here for 12 years. Every year, same time for 4 days of unlimited golf. I say unlimited because they have a 27-hole course, and they keep you flowing. They host big and small groups, and you just play golf. We average 54 holes a day, plus there is a lighted par 3 course. Our consists of breakfast at 0600, 1st tee at 0630ish, 27 holes, lunch, 27 holes, then supper. If we are feeling it, we play the par 3. This place has it all. Rooms, restaurant, fully stocked pro shop, and the best staff of anyplace I've been. If you don't want to take the restaurant package, there are villa rooms with a kitchen and BBQ grills. The general manager and owner, Kevin Hendren, is absolutely the nicest person you will ever do business with. This is a family owned business (read the bio), and Kevin started managing the golf course when he turned 18. The hotel, while dated (1960-1970's), is clean and well furnished, and rooms are cleaned daily. We enjoy this place so much that next year we've added an extra day. If you like to play golf, this is the place. I will close with this, the course gets lots of play and the ground staff are 2nd to none. The greens and fairways are kept mowed and in great condition. It's a very picturesque place with great people.

It was a busy weekend and play was slow but we had a great time regardless. We played the 18 and 9 hole course multiple times throughout the weekend. Both courses were great! We did not get a chance to play the lighted par 3.

We have a large group that goes down on Father's Day weekend. The service from the front desk to the restaurant is wonderful. All staff members are very helpful and treat you with respect. This place is located directly off Hwy. 127.

Night golfing for the first time, spectacular, everyone has to try it. Course is for beginners and experienced. Food top notch buffet or menu. Pro shop everything you forgot that you need. Family owned and atmosphere bar none.
