Set on two stunning 18-hole golf courses, this full-service resort offers a wide range of accommodations, from studio, one-, and two-bedroom units in the modern Craftsman-style lodge to two- and three-bedroom cottages.

Resort amenities include a gym with a 25-meter lap pool. Lodging and golf packages are available. Individual and small-group golf lessons are offered, as are a variety of golf camps. Note that the golf courses are closed from mid-October through early April, though the hotel stays open.

About a 15-minute drive from the Scenic Sip wineries, which is six wineries just to the south.

It's known for its enormous spa, the first of its kind in North America. In addition to the 48 treatment rooms, there are a multitude of saunas and steam rooms (included in your room rate), as well as a cryotherapy chamber, where three minutes in subzero temperatures are said to work magic on conditions such as arthritis and sports injuries.
