Winning combinatio­n: Stay andd playl at Bear Claw Casino

- by Mike Shiplack

Finding the perfect place for that golf weekend getaway doesn’t take luck. All it takes is careful planning and finding the right golf package with the winning combinatio­n of golf, great rooms, good times and plenty of ways to save money.

Everyone has a different idea when it comes to a golf weekend getaway. For some, it involves a group of friends ditching work early on a Friday and driving out to the county in search of the perfect course and relaxing accommodat­ions. For others it’s a romantic couple’s retreat where there are zero kids and 100 per cent fun. Then there’s the epic stag and stagette party weekends that include beer, golf, beer, more golf, and maybe a glass of wine to keep it classy.

No matter what kind of trip you’re planning, the one thing that’s important to remember is that the Bear Claw Casino and Hotel has everything to make it a memorable weekend. And just to be clear, there are no minors allowed at the Bear Claw so enjoy the kid-free weekend — even if you don’t have kids.

The Bear Claw’s Golf Stay and Play Package is available between May 1 to October 31 and it comes with a lot of perks. There are discounts for golf courses throughout the Moose Mountain area including White Bear Lake Golf Course and Golf Kenosee. The Stay and Play Package also includes free entry into both White Bear and Moose Mountain Provincial Park. Extra perks at the Bear Claw include discounts on rooms, Growlers Restaurant and $20 of free slot play.

Another thing to remember is that the entire hotel went through a major renovation a few years ago. First-time guests are often surprised by the high quality of rooms, and how they are matched by outstandin­g customer service. Every employee at the Bear Claw has gone through extentensi­ve training to offer world-class hospitalit­y services on the gaming floor, in the restaurant and throughout the hotel.

And Bear Claw continues to improve their customer experience every year by offering more services. Not only are they currently upgrading the fitness room for the summer, but they are also adding a Fun Zone on the gaming floor. The Fun Zone includes pool tables, board games and an arcade that features classic games like pinball and Buck Hunter. They even host Playstatio­n and Xbox tournament­s on the big screens too. For details and updates, check the website.

For golfers looking to apply a bit more skill and a little less luck both on and off the golf course, don’t miss the high-stakes card tournament­s. Every third Saturday from April to September features poker and blackjack tournament­s.

Each weekend brings with it different set of events including live music and even a rodeo (Buck-a-Rama is back, August 8th) so check out bearclawca­sino.
