I had some trouble with this ranking. The way it was set up the most expensive clubs got the nod. Sage Valley for instance comes with a butler in each cabin and a wine list that would make any five star restaurant blush. I am not certain that it makes a better retreat because of those two things. Where can you have the most fun. Let me mention two that did not make the list.
Sand Hills is a great place for golf junkies. The steaks are good and the feel is down home. You get called by your first name by everyone. Ben's Porch is the best place to put you feet up between nines or eighteens. The rooms are decent but understated. Sand Hills is a great place for golf junkies.

Stonewall: Two excellent courses, wonderful ambience, Good food, low key and just a great place to be.
Musgrove Mill: unpretenous is the by-word. The food is like mom's, the course is excellent and the service makes you feel as though you are at your folks. The short game practice area maybe one of the best in the country. The cabins are comfortable not luxurious, but the wine is mediocre. But ask for anything and you will get it. Barbara the general manager will buy any kind of meat and fixings you want, any wine your hearts longs for etc. I have been bringing friends there for years and everyone leaves feeling it was one of the best golfing experiences of their life.
