This is the one where the boys might bitch about the drive right up until they see the lake.

CURRENT GOLFER SIGNAL

The resort is actively posting 2026 maintenance closures, practice prices, food service, rentals, instruction and booking details. That tells us the operation is current. It does not give us enough independent golfer feedback for a hard conditions score.

THE NTB TAKE

This is the one where the boys might bitch about the drive right up until they see the lake.

Fourteen holes on the water, resort setup, actual practice facilities, food included with the green fee and public online booking.

Our call: real day-trip golf. Not the cheap option, but this feels like a course where the whole day is part of what you're paying for.
