What better way to honor your sport of choice than visiting its most sacred grounds. The course has welcomed professionals, celebrities, politicians, and even royalty during its time. Not only is the golf course stunning and challenging, but you will also love all the amenities the hotel offers such as the Japanese steam room, the hot tub located on the roof, a swimming pool complete with a waterfall, a plunge pool, and a sauna - all of which are perfect for soothing tired and aching muscles after an intense round of golf.
