Horseshoe Valley is the area between a horseshoe-shaped series of hills with the open ends of the U facing north. Horseshoe Valley Road runs through the middle of the hills, cutting its northern ends off from the base of the U on the south side of the road. The club was originally started by Bill Lohuaru on the southern side of the road.

This is one of the greatest resorts in the country. For someone who travels weekly, I am so looking forward to my next trip. The staff is great, the location is awesome, the views are perfect. A ton of activities and things to see and do. The food is great as well. You must place "mini" golf, and please walk around as much as you can you will not be able to see it all in one visit. Access to the water is great.
