First Time I played here course was in pristine condition… for 8 holes.. 😂😂 then we got rained out.. came back the week after and the water damage done to the course!. I wouldn’t recommend anyone play here unless it’s a hot deal for about a month.. most greens had massive water damage, contracting the fairways and rough being as dry as ever. Like hitting your golf ball off of concrete. Not many bunkers or water trouble, but likes of tree trouble!. So be cautious.. The best part of the course is the staff.. the starters are awesome,hilarious, friendly, knowledgeable of the course!. The cart girl was smokin hot!. DAYUM!. And the guy in the pro shop uses words like “sir and thank you” which I always respect and reciprocate!. I’ll be playing here again because the course layout is great. It’ll just be a while. All in all, it’s a 4 star course with no rain, a 3 star after massive rain.. but hit ‘em straight gentlemen and ladies!.🏌🏾♂️🏌🏾♂️🏌🏾♂️

Stayed here twice for a weekend with my colleagues, over all it’s a cozy homey inn with nice ballrooms, beautiful view, lots of lobby space and couches to commute, funny but throughout the entire building you have a plug within 2 feet, has nice game room, pool table ($1 per game) ping pong, arcade room, piano, small exercise room, it even has it’s own post office, nice swimming pool, spa just across the parking lot, fire pit for everyone to enjoy. And for the rooms... it’s clean but pretty old, has that carpet smell and when someone walks above you , you hear the creeks, mattress is very soft, not firm at all (some might like that) also the elevator doesn’t reach all levels of rooms, we had to walk another flight of stairs. Staff was very nice and helpful. Over all was nice stay.

Lots to do, indoor & outdoor, on property. The sports area was convenient and the people running the stable were very nice.We enjoyed the outdoor pool since the weather was fantastic. But the towels were the size of dishtowels. You'd be better off bringing your own.There was a nice trail to a mini waterfall. However, hotel is old & has it's quirks. We stayed at the lodge, which is just feet from the main hotel. We could hear the conversations of the people above us & their baby crying. There were also quite a few areas that needed maintenance --- the pool surrounding walking area need patching and sweeping - the table tennis paddles were practically splinters - no cover or handle. And parking was rough. We took their shuttle to Mount Airy Casino which turned out to be quite reliable. Considering the rate and the number of things to do, I would recommend it. But if you're "high maintenance ", you may have a few issues.

If you like historic hotels with a lot of outdoor activities, this hotel may be for you. For the outdoor enthusiast, there's horseback riding, archery, trap shooting, pistol shooting, snowmobiling, and even dog sledding during the Winter months. The hotel was built in 1902 and has a lot of historic photos and artifacts displayed throughout. The main hotel building is very majestic inside with a lot of intricate architectural detail including wainscotting walls throughout. As you walk through the hallways, it does have that musty smell as if ghosts live there. It even feels like you are walking through the corridors of that hotel featured in The Shining. There's a lot of indoor family activities as well such as a small theater, game room, and many places to lounge around and play family board games. This place is so big it even has it's own little post office. There is an indoor pool at the lower level, but you must keep an eye on your kids since there's no lifeguard. Outside of the main hotel building, there are several smaller hotel units. These units have nothing special inside of them, just plain white rooms that kind of look, feel, and smell old. This place is on the list of National Historic Landmarks, so it does have a nice historic feel to it. During the Summer, they uncover a large outdoor pool. For the price ($90), I thought it was worth it. If hotels with an old feeling, smell and look to them is not your thing, go elsewhere.

My husband and I went for two nights, from Sunday to Tuesday. The structure of the hotel is beautiful and it is very well maintained. Theres an amazing view from the fourth floor. On the first, night we had a very bad experience at the bar. The server was quite rude and the food was not up to par. We had a mac and cheese and fried mozzarella caprese. Then we played pool and ping pong in the company of other guests and had a good time. The next day we rode horses at the ranch and recomend it for sure, it was an incredible experience. On the afternoon of Monday we again had no luck with the bar food. The service was great, but the pizza was not good at all. The breakfast is wonderful. We did the hiking and it was great. The signs are very helpful. We will certainly be back.
