It was the first warm evening of spring, the kind that makes you forgive February for everything. I was on a second date. Possibly a last date. He had just drained a lag putt from the back tier of the 9th, forty feet, two breaks, and turned to me without a trace of surprise.
"Your turn," he said.
I three-putted. I needed a distraction, something elegant, something that would suggest I was a woman of refinement despite all evidence on the green.
Ahi Tuna Nachos.
Fresh ahi tuna, cool and ruby-dark, laid atop crisp wonton chips that shatter like thin ice on a pond. Sweet sriracha aioli, a little heat, a little sugar, like a compliment with an edge to it. Then a medley: avocado, cucumber, mango and jalapenos, a parade of color that looked like somebody had painted a sunset and then decided to eat it. Finished with sesame seeds, onion relish, cilantro and carrots, each one adding its own small voice to the conversation.
We ate on the patio at the turn while the string lights came on one by one. He took the chip with the most mango. I let him. I am not a fool.
On the 10th, he read my putt for me. Downhill, left edge, trust it. It dropped. He smiled. There was a third date.

Came for the putting, stayed for the food. The double smash burger is unreal, crispy edges and that bacon jam. We ended up sitting on the patio for two hours after our round.

Ordered a round of BarTender's Choice cocktails from the course and they found us on the 11th. The Birdie Juice is dangerously good. Already planning our next visit.

The kids ran between the playground and our table the whole time. Tenders were hot and crispy, and they were thrilled with the chips. Easiest family night we've had in months.

Honestly didn't expect a golf spot to have food this good. The ahi tuna nachos and miso salmon were both a hit. The course itself is legit too, real breaks and tiers.

Brunch on the patio before an early round is our new Sunday thing. Chicken and waffles with Mike's Hot Honey, a Hair of the Bird, and a lag putt I'm still bragging about.

Lost at cornhole, won at ping pong, and the wings made up for both. Staff kept checking on us without hovering. Great spot for a group.

The Tequila Creamsicle tastes like summer camp for adults. Paired it with the Korean steak tacos after our round and watched the sunset from the patio. Perfect night.
