Laura Aldana· 4 years agoThis place was beautiful and the food and service was excellent! Our server Olga was very knowledgeable on menu suggestions and she kept our glasses full. I had the Salmon BLT and it was delicious. I also had French onion soup that was very good. We all enjoyed our meal. Overall a great experience.
Dave Philpott· 4 months agoMy only experience was with the gorgeous tennis center with four clay courts and some clay surface pickleball courts. Immaculate surroundings. Did not try - but was told the Clubhouse food was incredible. Beautiful drive through The Sanctuary neighborhood to this location.
Caroline Lee· 11 months agoGolf was perfect today, less humid, a nice consistent breeze and the course was in pristine shape, followed by a wonderful late lunch. Thank you staff for letting us in a little late.
