"It's a very popular place. It's both luxurious and secluded," another employee tells Us. "The men enjoy golf; the women love the spa. We go out of our way to make sure the day is everything you want."

But the 27-year-old country crooner and her athletic beau, 30, weren't the only ones taking advantage of the hotel's facilities.

"I saw all the guys golfing. They really enjoyed it," a source tells Us. "The golfing was a big hit — it always is!"

After the ceremony — which cost a reported $500,000 — guests munched on "delicious" cupcakes and other Southern cuisine.

"Sometimes weddings can be stuffy, but this one wasn't," a bartender tells Us. "[And] the music was just normal stuff for a party — the kind that makes you want to dance!"

By the end of the night, friends of the newlyweds made sure to express their congratulations by signing a wedding book.
