Fodor's Expert Review Renaissance Ross Bridge Golf Resort and Spa

Surrounded by woodlands, boasting the third-longest golf course in the world, and including a 12,000-square-foot European spa, this sprawling, stone complex is a countryside escape close to the city. The resort includes two restaurants, a bar, a coffee shop, indoor and outdoor pools, tennis, volleyball, and trails for hiking and biking. Expect pampering; each room includes a bathrobe, and you may request daily newspaper delivery and turndown service.
