February. Four in the afternoon, and the light was already thinking about leaving. I wore two scarves. My wife wore my third.
We were playing for the right to choose the movie that night. Stakes, in a marriage, are everything.
On the 12th she faced a tricky putt over a ridge and down into a little valley, the kind of green that looks like a frozen wave. She took her time. She rocked it gently. It crested the ridge, picked up speed, and fell in with a sound like a coin dropping into a wishing well. I was going to be watching something with subtitles. I needed comfort.
Chicken tenders. But not merely chicken tenders. The best chicken tenders of my married life. Buttermilk-marinated, so they come out tender in a way that feels almost personal. Hand-breaded, each one rugged and golden as a pirate's doubloon. Crispy enough that you hear the first bite before you taste it.
And honey mustard. Sweet. Sharp. A dip so agreeable it could negotiate a peace treaty.
We shared them on the patio under a heater, our breath fogging, fingers warming one tender at a time. She dipped hers with surgical precision. I double-dipped. She allowed it, which is love.
The movie was three hours long. I don't remember a frame of it. I remember the honey mustard.

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.
