Nine-forty on a Friday night. String lights overhead, swaying a little in a warm October breeze. Our second date. I had suggested putting because I wanted to seem fun. She was, it turned out, terrifyingly good.
She read greens like other people read tarot cards.
On the 4th she studied an uphill putt with a hard break at the end, pointed at a spot two feet outside the cup, and rolled it right over that spot and in. Birdie. She didn't even watch it drop. After the 4th we slipped over to the patio bar, and I ordered the bacon cheeseburger sliders to recover my dignity.
A hand-pattied burger slider on a toasted brioche bun, compact and confident, the size of a promise you can actually keep. House-made burger sauce, tangy and a little mysterious, the way a good second date should be. American cheese, melted down into every corner. Smoky bacon, crisp at the edges, laid across the top like a velvet rope at a club you never thought you'd get into.
She took one without asking. I liked that.
We stood at the patio rail and watched the next group lag their putts into the dark, the balls slowing, curling, dying a few inches short. She told me about her grandfather, who taught her to putt on a carpet in Toledo.
I three-putted the 5th. She married me two years later anyway.

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.
