December. Thirty-eight degrees. The patio heaters glowing orange like campfires on the edge of a frontier.
My father-in-law, Frank, does not like to lose and does not like to be cold. That night he was doing both. Down three strokes on the 16th, a downhill putt so fast it seemed to be running from something. He stood over it in his good wool coat, a man at war with gravity.
He hit it. It rolled four feet past. He said a word I won't repeat. I suggested we warm up. He agreed, which was the first thing he'd agreed with all evening.
Steak Wrap. Marinated steak, tender, deeply savory, the kind of comfort a person needs in winter. Peppery arugula. Roasted tomato. Balsamic onions, soft and sweet and a little dark, like a jazz record. And horseradish cream sauce, cool on the tongue and then, suddenly, clearing your sinuses and your conscience in a single blow.
Frank ate in silence. Not angry silence. Contented silence, the rarer kind.
Back out on the 17th, he lined up a twelve-footer, read it from both sides, and buried it.
"Horseradish," he said, tapping his chest. I didn't argue. You don't argue with a man who's finally warm.

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.
