An ace. On the 17th. Forty-two feet, a double-breaker off the top tier, and I hit it the way you'd introduce yourself to someone you hope to marry. It broke left. It broke right. It disappeared.
My playing partners, two strangers we'd been paired with, a retired pilot and his wife, threw their arms in the air like I'd landed a plane in a storm. This is what an ace does. It makes friends out of people.
It was a cold January night, frost on the patio rail, so we finished up and took the celebration inside to the bar. Something this rare deserved something curated.
The Tequila Flight. Four glasses in a row like a firing squad of good taste. Lalo Blanco, bright and clean, honest as a handshake. Casa Dragones Blanco, silky and elegant, a tuxedo of a pour. Código 1530 Rosa Blanco, soft as a rose petal. And Casamigos Reposado, warm and golden, rested and ready, the fireside chair of the lineup.
Alongside them, a spread of fun, flavor-forward garnishes, each one a small adventure.
We sipped slowly. We compared notes. The pilot declared the Rosa his favorite. His wife sided with the reposado.
I didn't choose. Tonight, I'd already gotten everything I wanted in one stroke.

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.
