Thunder, somewhere past the parking lot. The kind of August night where the air feels like a damp towel and the cicadas have opinions.
My rival was a man named Gil. We have been playing each other for six summers. He wears sunglasses after dark. I have never asked why.
On the fourteenth, a two-tier green, I left my lag putt hanging on the upper shelf like laundry on a line. Gil smiled. Gil always smiles.
We retreated to the patio as the first fat raindrops arrived, and I made a decision a lesser person might regret. All you can eat ribs. Endless ribs. Rack upon rack, as long as the will holds out and the napkins hold up.
There is something primal about it. Meat on the bone. Fingers sticky. Conversation reduced to grunts of approval and the occasional, reverent silence. The rain drummed on the umbrella overhead. Gil, a man of considerable appetite and very little shame, matched me plate for plate.
I want to tell you I won that night. On the course, I did not. Gil parred out while I chased a birdie I had no business chasing.
But at the table? At the table I was magnificent. Gil tapped out first. He folded his napkin, set it on the bones, and said, quietly, "Rematch." I said, "Bring the sunglasses."

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.
