"Suite was so great! So large with 2 bathrooms and 2 patios. Great view on the 17th hole. Staff was so welcoming and accommodating. Lobby & bar is beautiful. Pool and hot tub were great temps. Gym was large for a hotel and hand everything you’d need. The free s’mores box and fire pits were such a cute addition to the stay. Wasn’t prepared for the $20 parking fee, $35 resort fee and $5 taxes (all extras added PER DAY) which was an additional $120 for a 2 day stay. "
