We've got four championship caliber golf courses, two FAOs, a Cor Crenshaw, and a a Palmer, and two of which are right here on the main campus. So as you can see behind me here, this is the ninth hole on the Fazio Foothills course, and Mr. Fazio's done an incredible job, uh, using the natural landscape and the, the limestone cliffs. He's done a great job utilizing the natural contours of, of hill country, so you'll see a lot of sloping fairways, hitching at different angles and, and helping you to get the ball close to some of these very challenging greens. The core and Crenshaw cliffside course is, as you stated, it's much more natural use of the Rolling Hill country terrain. Certainly less dirt was moved and in true Crenshaw form, very large undulating greens, but he also allows you play the ball low and to bump the ball into some of the greens, which, uh, which again makes it very playable and enjoyable. We've got another Fazio in the Fazio Canyons course, and that's located just 2.5 miles just down the road here. Again, just an incredible experience over there. Fazio's done a another, another wonderful job utilizing the natural terrain, and that's probably our most challenging golf course. So the course does have dramatic elevation changes and it makes for some really interesting shots. You know, specifically some of the holes like 18 and 16 where you hit to fairways that are, you know, hundreds of feet below you. It makes for some very diverse shots and, and a lot of fun. It is absolutely picturesque. Just, uh, amazing, you know, oak trees and just beautiful terrain every, in, every direction, especially when you get on top of some of these peaks and vistas and you can see for miles and miles, just incredible stuff. We basically transformed this property from what it once was, which was a 309 room property, very well known for its golf. Now we're still known for our golf, but this expansion added 180 guest rooms. We increased our dining and restaurant outlets to seven. We, uh, expanded our pool scape, added three amazing pools, including an Infinity Edge pool overlooking the Fazio Foothills golf course. We, um, added a lot of meeting space as well. We became more of a conference option for groups, and basically with this expansion and floor to ceiling renovation, even on the existing spaces, we became a little bit more relevant on the national state. We've got a lot of really great resort programming that, uh, that appeals to families. And, you know, with golf trending the way it is, where it's more of a family type sport where it's not just a guy's sport anymore. Girls get out there and play golf, um, with their dads or their moms. Uh, we provide that, but we also have something to do if you don't wanna get out on the golf course, maybe on that afternoon, whether it's our world class Makara Spa, our Amazing Pools, or just a lot of our resort activities that we have available around property. It is a vast, uh, resort. And that was also intentional because even from a point of determining the angles in which the buildings should be set, we wanted to make sure the views were first and foremost, and that wherever you went, you had a view either of the east or the west to see the beautiful hill country. You know, this was, uh, a project that is near and dear to me. That's why I came to this resort to see this through, and I couldn't be more proud of how the design brought in the element of our local flavor, which is the hill country. I love our artwork. Our artwork speaks to the outdoors, whether it's a topographical map that is carved out of wood of Barton Creek, or it's, um, a depiction of the flight of the Monarch butterflies, that if you step back far enough, you can see a waterfall, uh, painted in them. All of those different elements make it feel comfortable and have a story, and I think it's just a sense of discovery that you can wander around the resort and learn new things just from taking your time and experiencing the property.
