They're pretty good about honoring these requests. Personally, my family and I prefer the area down by the fishing pond. Pretty close to pool, but not overly loud.

Parking for awards with Globalist will be comp'd.

One other piece of advice, skip Firewheel cafe for dinner. I've been there to this property many of times and never had a pleasant dinner experience in firewheel. It's loud, the wait staff seems shell shocked, and if you dare to order off the menu instead of the cattle call buffet, you will wait forever.............. Eat at one of the other restaurants on property or venture off site (either to Bastrop or Austin) for dinner. Also, the club evening spread is usually more than ample to make a good meal out of it.
