My husband and I stayed at the lake this weekend, and saw that Trip Advisor rated this placed great for breakfast. They were not wrong. Great food and service. The restaurant was very clean. They have a few tables outside that overlook the course. The view was beautiful. We were worried about the sun/heat and didn't sit outside but wished we would have. P.S. We didn't golf but just came for the food.

$10 entry fee. Five dollars of the entry fee is given back to you to use on the property, in the gift store, golfing, etc. Once you park, take the shuttle to the top of the rock where are you can see the amazing sinkhole, beautiful church, gorgeous sights. Definitely worth the $10 parking fee to enter.

Played as a single this morning at 8:30am (played it in 3 hours). Had watched the YouTube videos on it to become familiar with the course, pro shop people were very nice, course was laid out interestingly, excellent condition, green speed was great and rolled smoothly (moderate speed), chipping area around greens mowed perfectly. The only complaint I would have is that players need to do better at repairing their pitch marks. Plenty of uneven lies in the fairway which made things interesting. If I lived here, I’d play this course regularly. Plenty of par 3’s to sharpen your iron play. Very fair and fun short par 66 course. You’ll have a great time!

The scenery is outstanding! The course is quite challenging for us high handicappers, but not daunting. The beauty of the farmlands and woods is worth every lost ball. The staff is very friendly and it feels like you're on a private course. We're very grateful that we gave it a try and became members for our stay at the lake. Thank you Spencer!
