Pros

Located on a 27-hole golf course with GPS-equipped carts and natural grass driving range

Year-round Indoor Water Playland with separate areas for different age groups

Pet-friendly accommodations available for two pets per room

Cons

Additional $30 nightly fee per pet required

Some attractions and activities are seasonal

“While it strives to be a destination, some aspects need attention, particularly upkeep. The indoor water playland and proximity to the golf course are definite advantages for families; however, dated rooms and cleanliness require improvement to truly deliver a satisfying stay. Friendly staff and event spaces are bright spots for this property with unrealized potential.”
