Whether it’s a quick staycation or a full vacation, Grand Falls Casino and Golf Resort is ready to accommodate you for a relaxing play and stay at its scenic property just minutes from Sioux Falls.
On the outskirts of Larchwood, Iowa, Grand Falls is a place for relaxation and entertainment. In just a 20-minute drive, you’ll find a luxe golf course, beautiful outdoor pool area and 163-room hotel with indoor spa and pool along with great places to relax, game and dine.
Greta Stewart, marketing director for Grand Falls, says that the resort offers something for everyone. “’Casino’ is in our name but we’re a resort as well, a place for fine dining, entertainment, and to just get away and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of Sioux Falls.”
Some of the most popular areas of the resort are the Aveda spa, 18-hole championship golf course designed by Rees Jones, and Ruthie’s Steak & Seafood. A new wing of hotel rooms opened just two years ago.
Get pampered at the full-service Aveda spa, boasting a hot tub, sauna and steam room and offering facials, manicures, pedicures, massage, dermabrasion and more. Lounge in a cabana at the lavish outdoor pool area with food and beverage service available. The pool is free for hotel guests and wrist bands are $25 a day, available for purchase Monday through Thursday, whether you are staying at the resort or not.
For the golfer, Grand Falls’ world-class course accommodates every ability level, from novice to champion. “Even people who have been golfing for years find something different on the course every time they play,” said Stewart. “No two days are ever the same on the course.”
For the foodie, Ruthie’s Steak & Seafood restaurant features fine cuisine, wines and signature cocktails. Big Drop Café is a more casual venue that offers burgers, salads and other casual faire. Grand Falls also has a Sports Bar & Grill, featuring local beers on tap and gameday menu of handcrafted burgers, wings and pizza.
If you’re looking for an informal place to take recruits or a larger event space, Grand Falls’ meeting spaces and event center can accommodate up to 1,100 people. On-site catering makes hosting your event easy.
Free, live entertainment comes to the resort every Friday and Saturday night on its center stage, featuring a new artist and genre—like 50s, 60s, 80s, variety--each weekend. Starting Memorial Day weekend, regional musicians such as Danica Michaels and John Scalia play next to the outdoor pool in the afternoons from 1-4 p.m. The events center draws big artists for entertainment, recently featuring comedy duo Williams and Ree, comedienne Whitney Cummings and country artist David Lee Murphy, coming in September.
“This is such a fun place, there’s always something happening,” says Stewart. “This truly is much more than just a casino.”
Grand Falls, which celebrates its 12th anniversary in June, offers stay and play packages for rooms and golfing. Visit www.grandfallsresort.com for more information.
