Located in a preserved original Packard dealership, there's no better regional collection of early and mid 1900's autos. It's all the better when they are in the actual period-correct setting including the surviving Parts Department and Sales floor. Free up phone storage space, you'll take a lot of photos! It's not an all-day thing, but definitely worth it!

One of the nicest facilities in SW Ohio - for golf and after. 27 holes, outstanding practice facility, great parking, and a challenging track. 15 minutes from The Getaway on I-675. Used to host Nike Tour events and really is a Country Club atmosphere nestled into a high end neighborhood - but is public. Just a fantastic place for golfers and lunch or dinner after!

This is a little bit of a drive - maybe 25 minutes down to Springboro, but is one of the finest public courses in the region. Fantastically well-maintained, is the home course for several local universities and high schools and hosted Nike Tour events for years. Challenging track nestled in very high end residential area. Really worth the extra few minutes drive.

Fabulous steaks in an old-school supper club. Famous for President Bush (41) having eaten there and their amazing steaks. The 7-layer salad or Pine Club pasta salad are just the beginning and are so popular, they are sold in local high end supermarkets. Note - they are cash-only and you'd best call-ahead as it's always, always busy - but so worth it!
