Cardiovascular fitness center and a 60 ft. indoor lap pool.  Corporate travel managers and meeting planners will find the Spa affords their attendees every opportunity to keep up a fitness regimen, working out the stresses in a secluded, serene environment. Our wedding and other social guests will discover they never have to leave our landscaped grounds.  Our golf school and golf course guests will have the opportunity to have a wonderful massage after playing our championship course.�
