Golden hour on the patio. A first date, technically, though he had already beaten me at cornhole twice and was now explaining, with great patience, the physics of the four-bagger.
We had finished eighteen holes an hour earlier. I had read every green like a woman deciphering ancient scrolls. He had simply walked up and hit the ball. He shot four under. I did not.
So I went to the bar to recover my dignity, and I came back carrying two of these. An Aperol cocktail with a tequila heart.
Teremana blanco tequila, clean and quietly confident, like someone who doesn't need to tell you about their sailboat. Aperol, that bittersweet orange glow, the exact color of the sky behind him. Owen's Rio Red grapefruit, tart and blushing. A thread of agave nectar to round it all off, sweet as the moment he laughed at my terrible bag toss.
He held the glass up to the light. "It matches," he said, meaning the sunset.
It did. Everything did, briefly.
We played one more round of cornhole as the string lights came on overhead. I lost again. I have since lost to him at ping pong, at foosball, and on a sloping par three that I still maintain breaks the other way. Eleven months now. I keep losing. I keep coming back.

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.
