This resort has three outstanding eighteen hole courses. The Slick Rock Course is the oldest of the courses and the most friendly. The fairways tend to be wide, with large, shady oaks and bunkers defining the turns. The greens, totally rebuilt in 1997 at a cost of $4 million, are large and undulating. The signature hole on Slick Rock is #14, a 361-yard, par 4, which crosses a wide river with lily pads and a roaring waterfall. The Ram Rock Course is the toughest of the three, and every hole has interesting features. Hole #4, a 191-yard, par 3, features an island green. Water comes into play on eleven holes in all on the Ram Rock Course. The Apple Rock Course is nearly as challenging as Ram Rock, but is far more forgiving from the regular tees. The best aspect of this course are the distant views from the elevated tees, the attractive ponds, and the boulders set on end that serve as 150-yard markers. These courses, which are located in the Texas hill country, host the State Amateur and qualifying rounds for the PGA School's first stage. "GOLF Magazine" ranked the Apple Rock Course 83rd among the "Top 100 Courses You Can Play" in the U.S. for 1996. The Slick Rock Course was selected by "Golf Digest" as the 11th "Best in State" course for 1997-98. The same publication afforded the Ram Rock Course 40th among "Top 75 Resort Courses" for 1992, and rated it the 6th "Best in State" course for 1995-96. In addition, "GOLF Magazine" ranked the Ram Rock Course 79th among the "Top 100 Courses You Can Play," in the U.S. for 1998. Only guests of the hotel and members are allowed to play these courses.

Luck Golf Course
"Luck Golf Course in Luck, Wisconsin"
The Luck Golf Course is a well established, beautiful course with bent grass fairways surrounded by large mature oaks. It is one of the best courses in the area. The course is challaging yet very rewarding for all levels of golfers. Located in the Village of Luck next to beautiful Butternut Lake, it is "in town" but off on its own in a lovely park like setting. Don't be surprised to see deer running accross the fairway during an approach shot. I found it to be the best around, one that you will love to come back to time after time.

"The Sharon Golf Club - a real treat"
The Sharon Golf Club is located in beautiful Sharon, Ohio. The various trees lining the fairways frame a challenging championship course that is relaxing and fun to play. The pro, Dwight Axtell is a wonderful teacher, and utilizes video analysis into his lessons. Mr. Axtell's lessons are available to non-members, and will help players of any ability level.

Graysburg Hills Golf Course - Fodder Stack/Chimney Top Course
"Annual Spring Trip"
Great course. Well manicured. Friendly staff. Can't beat the green fees. Always our first stop (for two days) on our spring trip. Good luck on number 4 on Chimney Top. If you ever get on the green good luck putting.
