Delicious Dining Experience

During my stay, I had dinner in the main dining room, and I was very pleased with both the variety and quality of food offered. There was a fantastic range of wines and a selection of local beers that complemented our meal nicely. I would highly recommend trying the bistro for a quick bite after a day of golfing!

Spacious and Comfortable Room

I stayed in a Premium Fairway Suite, which was very spacious and clean. The bed was extra large and incredibly comfortable. Waking up to the beautiful views of the golf course was definitely a highlight of my stay. The amenities provided made it feel like a home away from home.
