Golfers tee off at 8am sharp!

Note to Spa Guests: Each guest should allow 20-30 minutes prior to the treatment time to enjoy the Spa Ritual. This will allow time to change, become familiar with the facility, and begin to relax with time in the steam room, sauna, whirlpool, outdoor spa pool, or experiential shower.

Arriving late will simply limit the time for a guest’s treatment, thus lessening its effectiveness and your pleasure. The treatment will end on time so that the next guest will not be delayed. The full value of your treatment will be applied.
