    Scenery from our deck table was a real plus on a nice afternoon. Service was very good. We enjoyed our meals. Parking was difficult as there were two golf tournaments, important because we both use canes.

    Restaurant and other guests are not welcoming to none members or people not staying at resort. The vibes were off the second we walked in and continued to be off so much so that my guest and I ended up just having a glass of wine and left.
