Kingwood Resort

I love coming here, especially in winter when it’s quiet and peaceful, and I’ve stayed several times over the years without being disappointed. The rooms are spacious and the beds comfortable, though the decor feels old fashioned and could use an update. Each room has an outdoor deck with a nice view over the campus. There’s a restaurant and bar, plus wine tastings, an outdoor pool, a sauna, and a steam room. The sauna and steam room are separated by gender, which felt a little weird, but wasn’t a deal breaker. I highly recommend this retreat.

The views and golf are amazing, and there are great deals for a golf stay. The location, prices, and amenities are top notch, with a good restaurant and bar on site. The rooms are dated and the beds aren’t great, but there’s a very serviceable hot tub, sauna, and steam room on the premises too. A man’s dream spot.

We’ll come back to this hidden gem. The golf course was in great shape and a little challenging, and the restaurant food was fantastic. The rooms were clean, with all amenities supplied and in good condition. The staff were personable and great to talk with. We enjoyed hearing about the area from Crystal and her family, and the southern hospitality made the stay feel special. Don’t skip this place, you won’t regret it.

The golf course was in great shape and a lot of fun, and the golf shop employees were stellar. But someone in my group left their AirPods in a cart, and we tracked them back toward the clubhouse. The golf pro shop said nobody had turned them in. While we were pinging them, a maintenance cart pulled up making the AirPods’ dinging sound. The workers first denied having them, but they were actually in one maintenance worker’s pocket. It was an unfortunate end to an otherwise fun day. I’m wary of returning because of some untrustworthy employees. If you play, keep an eye on your belongings when you return your cart.
