From the fourteenth floor of the resort tower, we watched the October sunlight burn off the mysterious foggy veil that obscured the rolling greens and riverbanks.
We waited to play until late mornings and passed the time sipping coffee from Nosh. This proved to be true during our two rounds. There’s a trade-off I am willing to accept the more difficult the course means outstanding views and an experience with nature. Loosely translated, it’s a tough course! We knew Fazio had laid out an adventure, laced with water and sand, uneven lies, and plenty of yardage. Golfweek Magazine ranked Belterra’s Golf Club in the top 30 casino golf courses in the U.S. The goal for our long weekend was to get lucky in the casino and on the Tom Fazio golf course.
We were excited to spend a ladies’ getaway weekend in Florence…. Maureen, Kris, and I had road tripped from west Michigan to Belterra Casino Resort, perched on the Ohio River, where Indiana flirts shamelessly with Kentucky on the other side. It wasn’t mega moolah, but it sure was an excellent start to the weekend. It was literally the first spin of the slot machine that landed on all sevens! Maureen’s dollar was instantly transformed into $40, and we high-fived our good fortune. The bill slipped inside the machine, the buttons lit up while neon colors and shapes pulsed across the screen.
