Wei Beyond Acupuncture calls upon ancient Chinese techniques to mend bodily ailments from the inside out. The center’s holistic therapies include acupuncture, Tui Na massage, and fire-cupping, all of which work to blast away qi-inhibiting roadblocks and stimulate circulation between estranged body parts. While acupuncture relies on sterile needles to balance bickering yins and yangs, massage applies five-fingered pressure to acupoints and cupping draws toxins out with vacuums and trails of radioactive cookie crumbs. Therapists also prescribe herbal medicines infused with plants and minerals and customize food-therapy eating regimens to help alleviate specific ailments.

Designed by renowned course architect Pete Dye in 1995, Black Bear Golf Club's 18-hole, par 72 layout showcases all the calling cards of a masterfully crafted golf course. With mounded fairways, tight landing zones, and more than 120 natural sand traps, the course—which stretches more than 7,000 yards from the tips—presents a traditional links-style layout with the favorable climate and alligator forecaddies native to Central Florida. Dye's affinity for dramatic finishing holes comes into play throughout the course. A well-bunkered, tree-lined par 4, the 9th hole is the course's second-hardest, and the 18th hole is the course's most difficult, demanding that golfers finish strong by overcoming an obscured tee shot on their way to a green guarded by a pond. A challenge for golfers of all skill levels, Black Bear has hosted multiple U.S. Amateur and Canadian Tour events.

Fostering practice as well as on-course play, Black Bear boasts a grass tee, a double-ended driving range, and a 40,000-square-foot short-game-practice area. With a menu of casual grill fare, The Bear's Den invites golfers to unwind after their days at the links and test out their divot tools' utility as fill-ins for forks.
