The resort's beautiful Clubhouse features full restaurant and bar facilities, and you can enjoy a day on the world renowned golf course, hire carts, tennis courts, gym access, clay pigeon shooting, horse-riding or jet-boating which is all booked at the reception area of the resort or on the Terrace Downs website.
