Hosted a Ryder cup style event here recently and already have next year’s event booked! The golf and resort staff were great to work with and made it a great experience for all guests, including a private dinner and love scoring. Fun and challenging course!

The oaks course is great! Extremely difficult but well maintained. Greens were in excellent condition and super fast.
