rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aashtech - My wife and I just got back last month from my second trip to the Moon Palace Resort in Cancun, Mexico and have not been this relaxed since I was a teenager (trust me, that was loooong ago.) Now it certainly helps that my company paid all the...

rating: 4/5 by: Epinions Author aashtech - Reedy Creek is an easy to play course with some very nice holes. Play can be a little slow, though, as some of the holes are close together. We call that "subway" golf, as it gets a little crowded in spots. But this is worth a tune-up round,...
