Whether you’re a low-handicapper staying sharp between rounds or you’ve never swung a club, there’s more to see, play and enjoy than ever, from our state-of-the-art simulators to our full bar and lounge.”
Guests visiting the newly reopened location will find the following upgrades:
- Upgraded Simulator Technology: Every simulator now features sharper graphics, an expanded library of playable courses, and new software and app technology.
