My son is four, and he plays putting the way some people conduct an orchestra. Big gestures. Total conviction. Occasional disregard for the rules.
It was a spring Saturday, the morning still cool, a breeze pushing petals across the patio. We were on hole 2. Short putt, gentle slope, maybe six feet. He set his feet, wiggled his whole body and swung.
It went in. First try. An ace. He did not celebrate. He simply turned to me and said, very seriously, "I'm hungry now." Champions have their priorities.
So we left the course to the grown-ups, took a patio table and ordered the Kids Waffle. A sweet waffle, squared off and inviting, the way all good waffles are, every little pocket waiting for something. Maple syrup on the side, which he regarded as a personal swimming pool for each bite. And fresh fruit, which I watched him eat in a particular order known only to him.
He dipped. He chewed. He hummed a song I didn't recognize, and when I asked what it was, he said he made it up.
There was syrup on his chin and on the table and, somehow, on the back of his shoe. I wiped none of it. He ran off to the playground, sticky and triumphant, and went down the slide four times before coming back for the last bite. You only get so many mornings like this one.
On the walk out, he asked for the scorecard. He wants to show his grandma the number one.

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.
