Late June. Eight in the evening and still eighty-nine degrees. The air thick enough to spread on toast. My brother-in-law Ray and I had reached the twelfth hole in a state of mild, sweaty despair.
Then Ray said the bravest thing I have ever heard a man say: "Let's order something ridiculous."
We did it right there from the course. Two Tequila Creamsicles. And when they arrived, carried across the green like trophies, the whole evening changed temperature.
Patron Silver Tequila, clean and bright, a grown-up wink. Blended with Dreamsicle Swirl Ice Cream, orange and vanilla, the exact flavor of an ice cream truck song echoing down a cul-de-sac in 1987. Milk, cold and creamy. And whipped cream piled on top, a fluffy white cloud parked over the glass.
An orange creamsicle cocktail, the perfect summer adult beverage. They say so on the menu. They are not wrong.
Ray took a sip and went quiet. Then he stepped up to a downhill putt off the back tier, forty feet if it was an inch, and gave it the gentlest little tap.
It rolled forever. It found the cup. We stood there in the heat, whipped cream on our upper lips, a grown man and his sister-in-law shouting like kids on the last day of school.

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.
