What happened after Hotel Impossible?

Hotel Impossible visited the Water Gap Country Club Resort in Delaware Water Gap, Pennsylvania for the episode Shotgun Start (S3E5), aired September 9, 2013. Episode coverage describes new owners, Sean and Julie Lyons, taking over a 24-room hotel with a banquet facility and a PGA golf course, with neither the owners nor staff having hotel experience, and Anthony Melchiorri working to prepare the property for a wedding booked with two days' notice.

According to Reality TV Revisited, the resort closed in 2020 after the site was sold, with plans submitted to remove the hotel portion of the property.

A check of the associated website on 2026-09-09 found watergapgolfcourse.com live under the name Water Gap Golf Course, at Wolf Hollow Dr, Delaware Water Gap. The site describes only golf, an online booking function for tee times, a gallery, and a contact page. The current golf course site does not mention hotel rooms, a banquet facility, or lodging of any kind. The booking function covers tee times only, with no reservation option for overnight rooms. No source reviewed here reported a reopening of the hotel or banquet side of the property since the 2020 closure. The episode's IMDb listing gives it an 8.3 out of 10 audience rating, among the higher scores of the show's third season.
