Cumberland, Md. - Rocky Gap Lodge & Golf Resort - nestled at the entrance of the 3,200-acre Rocky Gap State Park in western Maryland - was named a AAA Four Diamond-rated property. The acclaimed destination has achieved this prestigious honor for six consecutive years.
With only 3 percent of all AAA approved properties in the United States receiving Four Diamond status, Rocky Gap is in elite company.
"The dedicated staff at Rocky Gap Lodge and Golf Resort aspires to honors such as this," says general manager Steele Edwards. "Our commitment is to ensure our guests leave feeling they made a great choice in Rocky Gap and they want to return. That an unbiased, universally respected expert like AAA again judged us to be a special property is positive reinforcement that our goals are set properly."
According to AAA, Four Diamond establishments are upscale in all areas and the physical attributes reflect an obvious enhanced level of quality throughout, including an extensive array of amenities combined with a high degree of hospitality, service and attention to detail.
Rocky Gap is home to Maryland's only Jack Nicklaus Signature design golf course. The par 72, 18-hole championship course weaves through forested mountains with lake views and offers a challenge for players of all levels.
Rocky Gap offers a private beach, boat and bike rentals, miles of marked hiking trails through the state park, a nearby aviary or fishing and kayaking. In addition, sporting clays, tennis courts, a fitness room and indoor and outdoor pools provide ample opportunity for exercise.
