My stay at Ponderosa Golf & Country Resort was quite the experience. Surrounded by lush greenery and incredible views of the golf course, I enjoyed the spacious room, although some furnishings felt a bit outdated. The service was polite and accommodating, which brightened my overall stay, but I was disappointed that the Olympic-sized pool was closed during my visit, and that wasn't mentioned beforehand.
