Nothing to do, and what there is to do is boring and costly (except for pool which is free). My 3 kids hated this place. EVERYTHING costs extra. Shooting bb guns is $50 extra per person. Archery $50 per person. Fishing $25 to rent pole per person and no fish in lake. Mini motor boat $120. Horse trail $100 per person. Golf $125. All the events advertised (barbecue, kids art classes, bingo, rodeo, hay ride (6 bales of straw in the back of a pickup)) happen only once a week only and cost EXTRA. Even then, there is nothing to do.
The swimming pool was average but crowded and two black kids were throwing a football the length of the pool accidentally hitting people. There is no staff on hand anywhere, no lifeguard, no activities director. Another group of tatooed people were drunk and played loud music.
-The one ping pong table and pool table ALWAYS busy. Tennis was fine but dull. They offer croquet, bocci ball, horse shoes, corn hole bean bag game; cards, checkers, a water logged monopoly board, dull all of them and cheap to provide. Bike riding is $25 per person per hour on a public road w the occasional speeding car or truck racing by.
We hated it, did what there was to do, paid the extra fees willingly, but mostly stayed in our rooms and read. Counted the hours before 60 min drive back to SB airport. Don t even think of coming, and this from a regular nice active family with enthusiastic intentions.
