New for 2017! Instead of a lunch buffet, the Club has agreed to open the Orchard Lodge Cafe especially for our group. The food line will be open all day for you to purchase breakfast, lunch and snacks at your leisure. Meals will be much more affordable this way with food ranging from approximately $2 for a muffin to $15 for a lunch combo.

If you prefer not to purchase your lunch in the food line, please feel free to bring a brown bag lunch (or cooler) to eat in the Orchard Lodge.
