2010 Golf Trip Review Part I: Arrival & The House
As I may have mentioned earlier in the year, when I book trips for my group we prefer to stay in a house over a hotel. It's cheaper for the stay and allows us to have a kitchen, BBQ, bedrooms and a common area. This year was no different and using Golf Zoo as our booking agent, they had plenty of options.
I'll get this part on the table right away. The booking of the house was not as smooth as I would have liked it. We booked our trip with one house and after we were all paid (about 30 days prior to our trip), Golf Zoo contacted me saying we couldn't have the house we had booked. Frustrating yes but more important was finding a new home. We went through two more houses before settling on the one below. In one case I was told we had the house, I sent an e-mail to one of the guys in our group to show him the house and then received an e-mail from Golf Zoo stating we could not have that house. A little frustrating but the people at Golf Zoo did work with me and the "crisis" was resolved a couple of weeks before we went.

Arrival & The House
Checking in was easy. ResortQuest, the property manager, had everything ready for us when we arrived at 12:30pm. Check-in wasn't until 3pm and the house was not ready so we played a round whole waiting. One of the benefits of staying where you're playing is the course is right there.
