Friday night. Rain had just passed through, and the greens were glistening under the lights like they'd been polished by hand. My son is nine. He plays with the intensity of a man defending a championship.
On the 3rd, he lined up a putt from the very back of the green, read it from both sides, crouched like he'd seen on television, and announced to no one in particular, "It breaks toward the parking lot."
It did. He made it. He did a lap around the green.
We stopped on the patio before the back nine, and he ordered for both of us, with the authority of a nine-year-old who has just made a forty-footer. "Mozzarella sticks," he said. "Obviously."
Golden-fried, crisp and shattering on the outside, and inside, mozzarella so molten and stretchy it reached from the plate to his chin and kept going, a long white bridge of pure joy. A little sprinkle of parmesan across the top, like snow on a rooftop. And a cup of marinara for dipping, warm and bright and red.
He dipped each one twice. I didn't correct him. Some rules are meant for later in life.
He beat me by one stroke. On the way to the car, he said, very seriously, that the mozzarella sticks were "the real hole in one." I wrote it on the scorecard and kept it.

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.
