Just an excellent experience for our summer golf group. All the staff were so friendly. Our waitress, I don't remember her name, was just awesome and took care of us wanting drinks after the bill was paid

A great location for people coming from out of town (Ohio and Tomahawk) Our waitress was personable, attentive and knew the menu. She didn’t rush us out as we continued to chat beyond a reasonable time. A woman at the registration desk was kind enough to take a photo of us.

Myself and three girlfriends dined out in the igloo, and there were some really great things, but some definite negative aspects. Granted, it was a very cold evening, but the igloo was absolutely frigid. Even with the heater right next to me and a blanket on, my toes were absolute popsicles. It was hard to enjoy the moment when I was so cold. Additionally, I don’t drink, so I ordered a nonalcoholic champagne and was charged $12 for it… that is the same price if not more than some of the alcoholic beverages on the menu. I know there’s a markup at bars, but the particular drink I ordered is $3.75 for one. A 300% markup is absolutely crazy. The food was fantastic and our server was wonderful. But it’s hard to outweigh those other two factors.
