Style of Play
The Reserve has a classic resort feel—wide fairways, clear targets, and greens designed to reward solid approach shots without punishing higher-handicap players. Water and bunkering are used to create interest and strategy rather than extreme difficulty, so golfers can choose when to be aggressive and when to play conservatively. It’s a course where good swings are rewarded, but wayward shots are often still recoverable.
Golf Shop & Check-In
Check-in for The Reserve and Crane’s Bend is handled at the golf shop located in the Marketplace area of the resort. This shop serves as the main point for:
- Tee time check-in for both courses
- Range access and practice information
- Purchase of golf balls, apparel, and accessories
- Assistance with rental sets and course details
For guests staying on property, the Marketplace location makes it easy to combine golf with other resort activities and amenities.
Driving Range & Practice Facilities
The Reserve is supported by a full driving range and practice area, available for:
- Pre-round warm-up
- Dedicated practice sessions
- Short-game and putting work
The range is open during the day and fully lighted for night-time use, giving golfers the option to practice after the sun goes down or tune up their game before an evening round.
Rental Clubs
The Reserve offers multiple rental-club options so guests can travel light but still play with quality equipment:
- Cobra Premium Rental Sets – $50 per set
- Tour Edge Rental Sets – $30 per set
Both options provide a complete set of clubs suited for the course, making it simple for occasional golfers, families, and fly-in guests to get on the tee without bringing their own gear.
