Two Golf Courses Near the Retreat!


The mild climate on the crystal coast makes it possible to play golf almost everyday of the year. The evergreen Pine trees line the fairways and make the courses picturesque even in Winter. Silver Creek and Star Hill Golf Clubs are less than 10 minutes from John & Lucille’s.
Since both courses are only 5 minutes a part you can play both courses while vacationing.
