The whole family can have fun at the waterslide's ice-cream-sundae classes, basketball and sidewalk chalk sessions while others may choose to stroll the 1-mile nature trail filled with quarry rock, native plants and other Texas wildlife.

"Rolling hills set the scene for this destination resort. The setting is a favorite with golfers for its scenic, Arnold Palmer-designed course, the first in South Texas."
