    Good Meal, Good Price Ordered camp feast, a special with crispy shrimp & sirloin steak. It included 2 sides with each dinner plus fresh molasses bread. Steak cooked perfectly at medium-rare, 4 delicious shrimp, perfectly baked potato with butter, sour cream & chives & the freshest & crispiest green salad ever! Good discount too for good value. Look forward to my next meal there. Our waitress was super & friendly & made good suggestions. Suggested ordering steak rare so it could be adjusted to preference.

    We had our wedding reception at this location in 1977. A lot has happened over the years. Floods have washed away parts of the golf course, buildings, and parking lots. Children and relatives have worked at the facility. Our church holds its annual Christmas party here. Needless to say, we have strong feelings about this resort and the people who work here. The breakfast menu is a bit sparse but with creative items on tap. If there's nothing to your fancy, ask; they can probably accommodate you. My favorite is the "Chicken and Waffles". All of the dishes are amazingly fresh and big enough to share. Prices are still on the cheaper side, compared to a typical breakfast out. The view of the golf course is serene, with trees, flowers and water features. You have the option of eating in the restaurant, on the back terrace or on the shady side patio adjacent to the full-service bar. The wait staff are amazing, with attentive service. It is rare to have to ask for a refill of anything. That usually only happens when there are several large family groups (be sure to reserve ahead so you won't be disappointed with a long wait). We can't say enough good things about The Red Tail. Try it.
