Did I speak yet about the Butler assigned to us in our room at Falling Rock???
One touch of a button on the phone and the Butler was there to fulfill nearly any request we could make. Draw a bath. Bring our breakfast. Get us drinks. Turn down our beds. Open the drapes. Oh, yes, and bring our choice of pillow from the "Pillow Menu" offering up 16 different choices! (My friend and I both chose 1 buckwheat and 1 water pillow. The water pillow was the BEST!)
On day two, we played the other 9 holes that had been rained out the day before. This was the back nine on the Links course. The Links was a good choice for us -- challenging enough to keep our interest but fair enough to keep us from frustration.
There were several interesting "diversions" on the back nine: first was an area (caged, thankfully!) with a mother black bear and her two adorable cubs. As we teed off the hole nearest them, we looked over and spied one of the cubs peeking up and spying on us in return. The second diversion came with a herd of 11 zebras adjacent to the fairway on #16 (I think). Anyhow, zebras in Ohio were a bit of a surprise.
After golf, we took a tour of Chateau Lafayette with our gracious host, Brian Pruden. Brian showed us the beautiful ballroom with the six chandeliers valued at $1,000,000 (yes, MILLION) each. We also saw some of the unique pieces from the resort's private art collection and the beautiful top floor concierge level. We had a great lunch at The Tavern before heading out for a Trail Ride at the Equestrian center.
more to come...
