Tennis court time and golf greens fees are complimentary during our retreat (note that cart rental is required and is extra). Class attendees won’t have much time to partake in the golf and tennis, but if you bring along someone who isn’t taking classes, he/she may be interested.
GRAND HOTEL AWAITS!
You'll take a ferry to the island, where no motorized vehicles are permitted (there is one ambulance and golf carts are allowed only on the course). Horses, bikes and shoe leather are the only transport options. The impeccable Grand Hotel staff and a bank of inviting rocking chairs on the panoramic veranda are poised to serve you and make your knitting moments priceless!
