Along the way, take in the breathtaking sight of our 80-foot waterfall, cascading into a serene brook that feeds our golf course’s signature water feature. Complete your journey with a visit to our custom butterfly garden, designed with the perfect plants to support every stage of a butterfly’s life—plus a peaceful water feature for our fluttering friends.
