The golf experience at Nemacolin is amazing, all on its own. And beyond golf, it gets even better.
After all, visitors describe the mega-popular Pennsylvania resort as a wonderland with endless recreational activities and architectural, artistic, and natural beauty. So if you’re traveling here with a group of golfers, there’s plenty to do off the course to guarantee a thrilling, fun visit. That starts with the personal butlers who help you to experience all that’s offered, by walking through all of the available activities during your time of stay.
“What’s beautiful about our property is that we really curate your itinerary to take advantage of your time off the course,” says Christopher Baran, Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “We can fill up the calendar as full or as little as you want. Our butlers work directly with our activities team, dining outlets and all of our activity partners, so they can curate an exact opportunity to have you from the golf course to enough downtime to get your next activity appointment. Think of them as your on-site concierge during your entire stay.”
One must-try is the unique Rod & Range Club, where you can go clay shooting – guided by a pro and a trapper, if you want – through over 500 acres of outdoor area.
Although this is a family resort, the Falling Rock is now an age 16-and-up, 42-room hotel that recently went through an extensive renovation and elevation. It’s a great opportunity to have an adults-only indulgence, replete with a private pool. Speaking of age-appropriate, there’s also the newly rebranded casino on property that’s also open to the public. It includes all of the latest games, including blackjack, craps, three-card poker, and a variety of table games. And you can catch the resort shuttle there.
While you’re out on the course, the non-golfers in your group can enjoy the Woodland Spa. There are 40+ treatment rooms at the 10,000 square-foot facility. Whether guests are seeking fitness or indulgence, they have a lot of options here. There’s an extensive variety of treatments offered throughout the day, as well as a lounge, cold plunge, therapeutic programs, holistic healing, acupuncture, sports science side, hot stones, and more.
Golfers, of course, can go there after their round to recover. But if your game needs a little pick-me-up, you can beeline to the beautiful, four-year-old Golf Academy that sports four individual state-of-the-art hitting bays and also doubles as a training facility. PGA Professionals provide lessons and game tuning. There are simulators, high-speed video systems, and Trackman technology to help you dial in your game. Plus, the bays can open up to the full driving range when the weather is nice.
Then there are all-new dining options, as well. Gusto! offers a northern Italian-based menu, with beautiful handmade pasta and bread, an array of seafood, and tasty authentic dishes. It features cozy chairs, big olive trees and lemon trees within the restaurant, and a great full-service bar atmosphere. It’s perfect for dining by yourself or with your foursome after you get off the course. There’s also tremendous outdoor seating with sunset views.
Another can’t-miss is dining at The Peak, a year-round family adventure area with pools, hot tubs, music and entertainment, private cabanas, bowling, and even axe throwing. The menu features a casual atmosphere, with lighter fare such as tacos, salads, pizzas, burgers and more.
Ultimately what sets Nemacolin apart from all other luxury golf resorts is its 1,500 associates.
“We have some of the most authentic people here on our staff,” says Baran. “We’re the largest employer in the county, so we take great pride in our associates. Our owner, Maggie Hardy, says her two bosses are the associates and the guests. You’ll get a one-of-a-kind experience here. Our hospitality is second to none. We are in the middle of nowhere, and we’re proud of it. Your experience here will be very curated and authentic.”
