About Sweet Hollow Resort
 

Sweet Hollow was developed and created by Lester Finley, a local businessman. Lester was well known for the popular Finley’s Drive-In and Finley’s Roller Rink working with the youth from the 50's to the 21^st Century.

In 1977 Lester turned his desires and challenged his expectations to the outskirts of town.  Later to be known as “Sweet Hollow”, a 400-acre resort catering to the kids and the community throughout the surrounding areas.

The resort has come along way with a lot to offer. Sweet Hollow caters to the local golfers with our nine-hole golf course and driving range.  The golf course is challenging with over 12 water hazards taking in 125 acres of bermuda fairways, tee boxes, and bent grass greens.  The course is an all seasons course open to the general public and catering to our special memberships. We offer tee times for special events, company scrambles, Thursday night scrambles and our Lester Finley Memorial Tournament to be held in September
13th and 14th, 2008.

“The Barn” at Sweet Hollow is private dining facility specializing in weddings and receptions. We offer a full line of catering, hor’dourves with sit-down or buffet style dinners. “The Barn” is a perfect setting for Receptions and Wedding Ceremony's, Anniversary Celebrations, Holiday Gatherings, Birthday Parties, Class Reunions, Company Functions, and many other occasions.

Sweet Hollow also offers an outdoor Pavilion, which is great for outdoor family reunions, class reunions, summer picnics, company functions, and many other occasions.  The Pavilion is fully equipped with recreation for all including the pool and outdoor skating.

The indoor Roller Rink is available to host private parties for birthdays, churches groups, youth groups, school events and much more. 

The Outdoor Swim-n- Skate & Water Works offers summer fun for everyone. Catering to schools and company outings. The large oval pool offers three slides, the water spray playground, baby pool area and playground.

Sweet Hollow Estates surrounds the resort and golf course offering fine living at it’s best with a New Gated Community.

Lester Finley had a dream of working with the public and community so  happily contributing over 50 years of his life, providing recreational activities for kids and adults, in a family atmosphere.  We will always cherish Lester’s contributions and enjoy the surroundings that he left to the community, which continues to be a family built and operated business.

In memory of Lester Finley each year the Golf Course hosts a Memorial Tournament in his honor.  The tournament is held in September and it is an open tournament and everyone is invited to attend & participate.

In the future Lester Finley’s dream will hopefully continue with the  construction of the next nine holes that he wanted to build to surround the new additions of the golf course.  Sweet Hollow would like to invite you to come and visit the facilities for all of your recreational needs and say “Thank You” to all of their members, home owners, companies, golfers, swimmers, sun bathers, & all of the staff for helping make Sweet Hollow a great success!

On behalf of Lester’s family we thank everyone for their support in his memory.
