Solid Golf Stay

I liked the doorman's very friendly welcome. He easily directed us to the Hall of Champions. The bar offered a table overlooking the greenswith great service. I bought a golf shirt and hat at the Pro Shop. It was a fun visit.
The hotel lacked attention to detail. The clocks didn't change for the time change. They forgot my coffee order.
