I suggest trying out the food menu. The nachos were delicious, but avoid the wings—they took forever to arrive and weren't worth the wait.

If you're into a specific drink, check their happy hour times. I saved a few bucks on pints by coming during their specials, which was a nice surprise.

I think playing a couple of games on their classic arcade machines is a must! It's a fun break from pool, and it definitely made my night more memorable.

My advice is to bring cash for tips and smaller expenses. Not all the staff were great about accepting cards, which slowed things down a bit.

I recommend arriving at least an hour early. The driving range and putting green are great warm-up spots, plus you can soak in the beautiful views before hitting the course.

I suggest booking your tee time online a few days before your visit. It can get pretty busy, and I barely found a slot the morning I went!

My advice is to grab lunch at the clubhouse after your round. I had this delicious burger, and the prices were really reasonable for the quality!

I recommend showing up a bit early, like around 15 minutes before your session. It gives you time to warm up and chat with the coaches. They're super friendly and happy to help if you have any questions!

I think it's a good idea to wear comfortable clothing that allows for a lot of movement. You'll want to be able to stretch and jump without restrictions.

If you're looking to save a few bucks, consider bringing your own water and snacks. They have a small cafe which can be a bit pricey for drinks.

If you're looking for the best views, try to play the back nine. I think that’s where the stunning scenery really shines. Just be prepared for some challenging holes!

Bring a water bottle, but you can also buy drinks there. I saw some people paying a bit much for snacks, so maybe have a light meal beforehand.

I suggest going on a weekday around 3 PM. The place was way less crowded then, and I got to jump freely without worrying about bumping into others.

George December 14, 2024

My advice is to wear comfortable clothes and grip socks if you can. I didn't have mine and they were a bit slippery on the trampolines.

Try to visit on a weekday if you can, the weekend gets super busy and it can be tough to find a free court. I went on a Tuesday and had the place pretty much to myself!
