Quaaout Lodge and Spa, Talking Rock Golf

Talking Rock Golf Course review. Just wanted to write a quick review on how awesome this Golf Course is for growing the game for our little Juniors. They have a 12 and under rate for $20 for 18 holes. For a golf course this awesome to help get the little ones out at a reasonable price is why we choose to golf at Talking Rock each summer. For any parents hoping their kids join them in our love for this game, it can be tricky for the younger ones to play that many holes, or ride in the cart happily with some treats. Our 10 and 8 year old are falling in love with the game. The 10 year old is good to play 14-18 holes while the 8 year old plays 9-14 holes. In time they will want to play all 18 and that makes for a great family vacation for all 4 of us. Thanks Talking Rock for the great junior rates.

We go there once a year to visit family, always have a great time there, clean rooms and the best part is the food!! Best food I’ve had, and I am a bit of a picky eater. Feels very comfortable there and we always have a great time! I would definitely recommend!

Easter weekend, I had friends visiting from Alberta and recommended Quaaout as it is close to Chase and having eaten there before, I thought it was a lovely hotel. HOWEVER ... turns out staying there for my friends wasn't so lovely. The hotel charged $100 a night damage deposit... so their three day stay was over $900 (yes, I know the deposit was refunded, but $100 PER NIGHT??) And that was just the first issue... there was absolutely NO daily room cleaning/tidying -- i.e. no garbage removal, replenishing of the two K-cups initially provided for the in room coffee, no fresh towels, no bed making, nothing -- for the entire stay. Thank heavens they were only there for three nights or the overflowing garbage would have probably driven them out of the room. Could they have called the desk each time they needed something? Yes. Does anyone want to have to constantly be doing that (for $200 a night) NO. Then they tried to eat in the dining room. No such luck. To be fair, they were told to make reservations, but they assumed that was for lunch or dinner... nope. They tried to get a coffee and some toast for breakfast on their last morning and were told the next available table was after 1:00 p.m. in the afternoon. The restaurant was two-thirds empty! And even if the tables were all reserved by people who would presumably arrive in the next five minutes, why on earth wouldn't they set aside a small number of tables for their paying guests????? Advertising that your hotel has in room amenities like coffee or onsite dining is really misleading if you can't get into the dining room or you have to call each time you need a K-cup, towel or roll of toilet paper. My friends won't stay there again... and I will never again recommend it to visitors or anyone else who asks. I am embarrassed to have done so in the first place. What a disaster.
