If you are excited about what all Addison has to offer, wait until you find your place of stay. I was pulling into the Addison Sumerfield Suites, but never expecting to find all the amenities that I found there.  Wondering why this is listed along with B & B?  Read on and you will find out soon!

First things first:

Dallas Toll way, north. Coming to the Beltline/Arapaho Exit (small toll to exit) take a left onto Beltline Road. From the far right hand lane turn right at

the light for Quorum Drive. At the first light, turn left onto Edwin Lewis Drive. The hotel will be on the left. 

From Downtown Dallas take the I-35E north to Dallas North Tolloway and exit onto tollway (pay toll), and pick up the above directions at N. Dallas Tollway.

Some of Dallas finest shopping is at the Galleria Mall, just a few blocks away. The Galleria Mall is famous for the international crowd that flies into DFW Airport and shops there weekly. The famed North Park Mall (click) of Dallas is only about fifteen minutes away where Neiman Marcus has an outstanding store.

Beltline Road (and surrounding area) offers some of the finest dining in Dallas (more per square mile - per capita than any west of the Mississippi). Miles of bock-after-block fine dining offer about every type of food selection.

Great Dallas golfing can be found at the Golf Club - Castle Hills (click) . Here you will fine a very impressive Club House and Pro Shop complete with dining. (Winter pictures)

On the course there is hole after hole of challenging beauty. The greens, even in Texas winter were excellent Bentgrass condition!  This course is a Heritage Golf Group facility. This is class with a "capital C."  The golf carts are convenient to parking lot (where you will be greeted by yours.)   The course is lined with beautiful homes that enhance the golfing environment that surrounds you.   This is all less than thirty minutes from Summerfield Suites

in Addisson  to teeing off on #1.

 "Carved from the undulating terrain that shapes the Texas hills is The Golf Club at Castle Hills. Framing the 18 holes of championship golf are natural streams, lakes, hardwood trees and native grasses. World-renowned golf course architect Jay Morrish and Associates masterfully created a demanding 7,152-yard par 72 layout requiring both precision and power, while simultaneously rewarding novice and seasoned golfers alike. The Club features the state's most comprehensive practice and teaching facility and a 25,000-square foot first-class Clubhouse."
