Pioneer Pastimes
Ready for a frontier adventure with a modern twist? At our Timber Creek Resort at De Soto, you can explore the wild outdoors while you row or pedal on the lake, tee up on our scenic golf course, putt around on our pioneer-themed mini golf course or head inside for some arcade head to heads and epic Wii battles. See... we told you there was a modern twist.
Mini Golf
Ready for some mini golf fun, Timber Creek-style? You’ll definitely get the pioneer flavor here, as you putt around a bubbling wishing well, gushing stream, wooden cabins and pine trees. This place is so “frontiersy” you’ll probably expect Tom Sawyer to pop out any minute! The kids are bound to fall in love with this place, so don’t be surprised if they beg you to play again. Head down to the Activity Center to pick up golf balls, clubs and score cards and get out there!
