Great place
Very pretty and well-manicured hotel and grounds. Beautiful golf course/lakeside setting with large pool and "hot" hot tub, plus indoor pool. We were a bit off-season (mid May) and dining options were limited; several were closed. The golf courses are stunning.

Beautiful property right next to the Anchor and marina. Short drive to golf. The room had space for our golf clubs, so that was a big plus. The only issue was the lack of food with all the restaurants closed. The room had a mini fridge, but no microwave so we had to drive a bit to meals. Otherwise it was perfect!
