After returning to Leopard Rock after 20 years, I was left very conflicted. The hotel and its grounds are still magnificent and picturesque. ||Myself and my family arrived unannounced, hoping to sit on the terrace and enjoy a drink. This is where the disappointment started. The staff, who were very friendly and welcoming, were unable to serve us any drinks or snacks without permission directly from the owner himself. Absolutely absurd for a hotel that is "open for bookings" and rates itself as a functioning 4-star hotel. Despite their efforts of contacting the owner for almost an hour, we left thirsty and disappointed.||We returned a day later to play golf. With zero operational golf carts, sandless bunkers and potholed greens, the once world famous championship golf course is now a tragic example of what happens when the owner doesn't maintain or invest in its upkeep. Thanks to the beautiful views, wonderful caddy (John), and fond memories of what the golf course used to be, we enjoyed our 9 holes.||The absent owner should be greatful for the resilient and loyal staff who still do their best to welcome guests despite having no autonomy to serve them. ||Sadly, Leopard Rock is now nothing but a shadow of its former glory.
