We stayed in the Lakeside Addition of Wilson Lodge. Our room had a cute little patio and it was a very spacious hotel room. It was immaculate and well appointed. We had a 1 hour horseback trail ride and took several long walks on the beautiful grounds. The food was outstanding. We will definitely be back.

The four of us stayed in the Daffodil Cabin. The place was great. The package was like getting the cabin for the cost of the golf. Worth it!! Roomy enough for all of us. Comfy beds, lots of towels, nice setting. The deer are very friendly. They will eat right out of your hand. We played the Palmer, Jones, and Crispin courses over our two day stay. The Palmer and Jones courses are tough but fair, in excellent condition considering the lack of rain for the last couple of months. The Crispin course needs some TLC, it seems to have been neglected in favor of the other two courses. The staff at the lodge and the pro shops are fantastic. The breakfast buffet is worth getting up early for. The Omlet/Belgian Waffle chef and the hostess and waitress were all very accommodating. Nice hot tub, sauna, and indorr pool. Everything was top notch. My buddies are begging me to set us up for a return next year. And maybe staying longer.
