Been to the golf center twice with my buddies. Very nice atmosphere, equipment, and staff. Great to be able to get the sticks out and keep the swing grooved during these cold winter months.

As you drive up to the large home that houses the Spa you feel a sense of calm. There is ample space around it and plenty of parking. You will be greeted by a friendly receptionist in the foyer. They are taking necessary precautions during Covid and I feel they are making every effort to keep their staff and clientele safe. All the linens are changed after every massage and the therapist changes their shirt. There is a filter running in the room. Masks stay on unless you want to take it off when you are face down. Face up, it must be on. I had a therapeutic massage with Chris. This was my first massage in a year and he worked hard to relieve the stress in my back and neck. He released trigger points and I now have further range if motion. His communication skills are excellent so it was a pleasure having him work on me. Since I am not from the neighborhood I cannot say if the $110 they charge for the hour is a typical price. I can only say it was worth it to me and I will return when we come back to this area. Tip: if you are not going for a massage because you are concerned about being in a closed room, book the couples room, it has a window. If I had known, I would have booked it.

The sample of the truffle was delicious; the warm cookies were scrumptious which included the same chocolate, a taste of butter and sea salt. A perfect dessert on a chilly November day.
