It's our second visit and both times at checkout, found multiple charges from the bar and coffee shop that weren't ours. One charge of $56 for 2 coffees and 2 egg sandwiches was plenty to pay, so luckily they removed the second $50 erroneous charge.

The property is stunning, very clean and upgraded. Our room surpassed all expectations. We also went to the spa and did a day pass, highly recommend!!! The experience was top notch. The only thing we expected more of was the service. The etiquette was lacking, the service and professionalism could definitely improve.

Our first night at the resort, we were in a room that was located near the lobby. They had live music going on until midnight (guests singing along at the top of their lungs as well) and then once that finally stopped, the fire alarm went off at 2 am and I had to take my two young kids outside in the cold. Our resort view room also looked directly into a wall. Not much of a view. I complained to the front desk the next morning for the terrible first night saying that they advertise themselves as a family friendly resort. They willingly let us move to one of their cottages and keep our original room rate. The cottage was a short drive from the main building, easy parking. The cottage was great we absolutely loved it and will be coming back again next year! The pool was so much fun for the kids and relaxing for me.

Front desk staff never will answer the phone. Front desk staff doesnt show any care or hospitality for your stay besides a job for them to check you in. Minimal baggage handling assistance( at a golf resort) , hotel smelled like gas leak. At 2am we were evacuated by false fire alarm. Hotel room carpet is old and very dated. Golfers would like a room with smooth carpet for putt practices (lol) not lumpy olf dirty carpet. Hotel is pretty and very picturesque. Golf course is of course very nice . Pro shop is very nice. Birdies cafe is cute. The Butcher restaurant is nice and good food..amazing Ceasar Salad!! As for golf, its over $500 and cart isnt loaded with water or club and ball cleaner bucket. ( for $500 round you expect top notch luxury) . Pace of play was amazing for as busy as the courses were you have no rush from anyone. Very nice!! All in all nice resort but it services its guests like a hotel rather than a resort, you dont get thar extra restort hospitality you would expect.

The grounds are nice, but they were pretty torn up, busy and blocked off for a tournament. To me, that means I should pay less, since I'm not getting the full, quiet resort experience. But it still ran $500/night. The golf courses are interesting and challenging, but no more so than any other $400 per round course. Daily room service was very nice to have. The food is outrageously expensive and not that great for the price. Also, if a resort charges a daily resort fee (in small print, of course), they should not run out of towels and the pool area should be immaculate.
