Style of Play
Crane’s Bend is built as a true executive-style course:
- Shorter overall yardage but full-scale greens and fairways
- Strategic use of water and contouring around the lake
- Emphasis on accuracy, distance control, and putting rather than pure power
It’s ideal for a quick morning or evening round, a warm-up before tackling The Reserve or The Legends, or as a relaxed setting to introduce new players to the game.
Golf Shop & Check-In
Crane’s Bend shares its golf shop and driving range with The Reserve:
- Golf Shop Location: In the Marketplace area of the resort
- Check-In: Same shop handles tee times and check-in for both Crane’s Bend and The Reserve
- Practice: Access to the full driving range and practice area used by Reserve players
This shared setup makes it easy to move between practice, a quick 9 at Crane’s Bend, and a full-round option at The Reserve.

- Tour Edge Rental Sets – $15 (9 holes)
These are a convenient option for guests who don’t travel with clubs, families trying golf for the first time, or players squeezing in an extra short round during their stay.
