My Husband loves to golf, me not so much. He has been wanting to golf here for a while now, and I…read moredecided to come tag along to make sure he was staying out of trouble, because you know how men can be when they golf! ;) I had an amazing experience driving my husband along on the course, while he golfed and drank a few drinks. The course was beautiful and the staff were also very kind. After our morning of golfing we stumbled inside for some lunch. We had an amazing waitress, who seemed to be a college student. She was very well put together, confident, and orderly. She also smelled like Chanel. Our lunch was amazing and I made sure to leave her an epic tip! Thank you Forrest Dunes! -Debbie

Courses were good but play was slow. Bring your bug spray, but it probably won't help! Where they…read morereally failed was the customer experience. Everything closed early our entire trip due to them being slow and not being able to justify the employee expense is what we were told. Food came out cold and took forever to get to the table. Looking elsewhere next round. Once a year golf trip that could have been better with some simple customer service.

This course far exceeds expectations overall. We were maybe a few minutes late for our tee time and…read morethe response was slightly more abrasive than necessary for "up-north" golf. However, once that was smoothed out our group really enjoyed the round. There are many great views, an open layout, several elevated tees, and well maintained greens. It is the right amount of challenging without being frustrating. The ranger was diligent in trying to maintain some space between groups. Also, a nice set up for food and drinks with friendly staff and even picked up a nice new polo from the pro shop.

It always sucks. This last trip, on our second day, we left after taking almost 3 hours for 6 holes. A ranger actually came up to us and explained how 2 groups ahead of us they were taking way too long to find lost balls. Why the @#%&# would he not insist that they limit their search time? We left after just those 6 holes. I love the courses, but I doubt I will ever play there again. Even on "good" days it's nearly 6 hours for as round. What a shame. I'm sure as long as they fill their tee sheets, they will never have their rangers do anything to speed up pace of play.

The snow was so good over the weekend at Crystal that we wanted to keep skiing so we decided to…read morestop for a night at treetops and take the kids skiing for a day or two. It was a great choice! This was a Tuesday night in February, so we were able to get a very good price on a double queen suite. Room was clean, comfortable and no issues. We had planned to go skiing Tuesday evening but ended up at the pool with our kids. The main lodge has a decent size pool that starts indoors and continues outdoors. There is an indoor hot tub and an outdoor hot tub. Also there are two Saunas. The kids were enjoying themselves so much we didn't even get to go skiing! On Wednesday we got breakfast at the top of the hill. We have eaten here before and it's always been good. After breakfast we got our gear and headed to the slopes. Treetops isn't a huge hill, but for the value midweek and 3 lifts, it's was a great time. We got started right at 10am and skied until about 4pm before heading home. There was almost no traffic and it was non stop skiing. The kids loved it as well and really enjoyed the beginners terrain park they built.
