The food was filling and the slower pace is great when you are accommodating and allowing yourself to get water or beverages/clubhouse food. We got to practice our shots and enjoy the weather. I saw rangers on two different occasions but they did not approach us and everybody was highly accommodating It was nice to see a Callaway tent but when you are booking a tee time you have to speak to two different representatives and the times constantly are getting booked and becoming unavailable especially during high season. I wish they had a driving range or a simulator because this would be the only reason to not sign up for a membership with Club Renaissance.

The two crotchety--yet funny and helpful--rangers started my golf outing off right! When they heard…read moreit was my first time there, they provided info about the course and assisted me with loading my cart. Good guys. The course was fun to play. Well laid out and just challenging enough. The greens were in good condition and it wasn't overly crowded for a weekday. We stopped in for drinks and sandwiches after the 9th hole and the folks in the restaurant and bar were friendly and the food was good. Beers were less than $2.50! We wrapped up the course and both agreed it was one of the better, funner courses we'd played in a while. It was also one of the more pricier courses, so there's that... Highly recommended if you're in the area.

Both the staircase and elevator bring you directly to the host station. The decor is classy and sophisticated. Smart Casual is the preferred attire and hats are discouraged but button-down collar and slacks feel more appropriate. A suit coat would not be out of place either. The menu options may seem a bit slim but I think I would enjoy just about everything they have to offer. I'm not offended by the prices. The staff came out of the woodwork constantly and made us feel very welcomed and pampered. The carbonara pizza is oh so good and I'm not too sure it's not the best pizza I've ever eaten. The old fashion could not have been better and the swan stamp in the crystal clear ice cube showed you just the kinda class this place is made of. My Highest Recommendation!

In this review I'm going to mainly talk about taking advantage on the par 3 holes that you'll have…read morefour of on any championship par 72 golf course. Executive golf courses are comprised of multiple par 3's, playing to a par of 60, you can definitely find tune your mid to low iron play at these courses. Anytime your in the teeing area you must know that you have great advantages and set yourself up to the full use of them. Ball tee hight, shot angles away from dangers, distance and yardage. Depending on your skill level all of these factors should be used to create the best opportunity to hit the green, two putt for par and maybe drop in a birdie but play for par, center of the green - no flag hunting ever unless you know the course and know the placements. Think like the golf course architect, do a little research on him. What does he do to guard against your ball? High thick rough? heavily bunkered? swails and waving countours on the green? How does it slope? Front to back but more likely back to front. By PGA and R&A Rules your allowed two club lengths back from the teeing area your playing from. So two driver lengths is 90 inches approximately, so if your yardage book is giving you 172 from the blue tees and your sure you can hit a 7 iron 177 if you pure it, pace off three steps back to 176 and play from there, legally without penalty. I'm a high ball hitter, I like to open the club a little and hit a little baby fade into flagsticks although I prefer to draw the ball. Problem is the draw double cross miss can result in a overcooked ten yard yank that'll put your ball off the green, under a bush and a tunnel of trees ahead. How your wrist a bit, keep it locked, aim just left of the flag (unless the wind is blowing right with a left flag) club up a bit, hit the 6 instead of the 7 choking down a bit. The biggest problem I see with amateur players is that they don't hit enough club, coming up short and facing a testy bump and run, pitch, chip or flop all which are shots one must practice hard and play with confidence, so avoid the short misses. Freedom Fairways will give you the opportunity to play these 150 and in shorts, the most important scoring shots. Nobody likes to work on this most important scoring zone and I don't understand why. I'd drill for hours on 50-60-70 yarders until the sun went down and my hands hurt. So in conclusion, play the executive courses, although Freedom Fairways might be the only one in the area. And go see Doc in the club making area near the first tee. His knowledge and wisdom had me ask him to watch my practice which he did and said I'm "an over swinger" which I can not deny. But I still love to Grip it and Rip it.

The course is in good shape, the greens are a little fuzzy and bumpy. I'm not a great putter so this doesn't affect my game. This course is short, 3214 yards from the tips so it's great to work on your short game. Something I need to do each and every week for the rest of my days. The carts are in great shape so no issue with them. Glad I came out and played this course, course management is something I still need to work on as my score reflects that. So, if you have some free time come out here and check it out.

The warm up area is on mats but it's nice enough. The blue course has a lot of character and plenty of elevation change. It is challenging and tests all parts of your game. The views are beautiful and the course is manicured extremely well. There are plenty of holes to score on and only a couple very challenging holes to par. Really great course. The red course is a real treasure. The layout and feel of the red course is world class. At this point this has to be in my top 10 favorite courses I've ever played. Course management is a must. Lots of risk and reward opportunities. Plenty of holes to score on but not an easy course. Manicured perfectly. If you get the chance to play Streamsong don't miss the red course. This course is highly rated for a reason.

Protocol is to contact us to notify where he is taken. About 11:30 am I received a call from my father that he was taken by ambulance to the local hospital. I contacted Aston Gardens and spoke to Bill. The security person missed contacting us. Information was passed on to another person to write a report and call us. Today is 26 Nov 2023 at 10:30 am and no one has contacted us. My father has been a resident for over six years. When he moved there management was more caring and this place was wonderful to live at. Budgets have been cut thus shortcuts in many departments including staff, weekly apt cleaning (he lives in a 2 bedroom 2 bath with a 45 minute limit to clean and wash sheets), food quality is mediocre, no hot breakfast except oatmeal. Recently the health department shut the dining room and during the hurricane no transformer so all the residents lost whatever food they had. It is disappointing that my father and other residents have to put up with this. 11:53 am

Although I live in Ohio, I have visited a friend who is a resident at Aston Gardens three times in…read morethe past year. My impressions that follow are based on about 15 days of participating in some of the daily activities, meeting dozens of residents and generally eating two meals a day in the main dinning room. Also as a baseline, I live in retirement community (CCRC) which is fairly similar to the living style of Aston Gardens. On my very first visit in February, 2013 at my first breakfast meal, I was introduced to 5-6 men by my friend and we joined their table. After almost two hours at the table, I walked away thinking that I cannot remember the last time I have enjoyed myself so much with new friends. Most of all, they made me feel very welcome to Aston Gardens and all went out of their way to speak to me individually. During my 5 day visit, I met many more residents, visited some in their apartments, some in the pool, some in golf carts and lots on the sidewalk and hallways. Because of the very diverse population, it seemed I was always bumping into folks that I had something in common with and all seemed willing to share their backgrounds. I returned in early August, 2013 and was warmly received by those that I met earlier in the year. I had the opportunity during all my visits to see the Assisted Care facility since my friend's spouse is a resident in this separate building. My impression was the Assisted Care service is excellent. You will never forget the handsome dog who will often meet you at the front entrance. My most recent visit this week, February 28, 2014 is no different than my past experience. I feel very much a part of Aston Gardens and look forward to many more visits. On a special note is that I was able to attend a monthly resident meeting after a specially prepared breakfast that was held by the Director of Aston Gardens At The Courtyards. There were nearly 200 in attendance. Toward the end of the meeting, the residents were asked if they had any questions, complains, suggestions and etc. I was very impressed with the constructive remarks by residents but most of all, I hardly heard any complaints. It seemed to me that this group was very satisfied with the management of Aston a gardens. If I did not have 5 children and 10 grandchildren in the Ohio area, I would pack my bags and become a resident immediately here at Aston Gardens.
