Every woman needs a wingman. Mine is named Dave, and he has never once helped.
Golden hour, a Thursday in October. Dave and I were three holes into the back nine, and I was trying to impress a playing partner's cousin who read greens like he'd been born on one. He'd just rolled in a lag from the bottom tier on the 13th, forty feet, up the slope and over the shoulder, dead center. Dave said, "Nice putt." That was his entire contribution.
So I did what a woman does when her wingman fails her. I ordered a better one, right there on the course.
The Wingman Marg. No costume, no gimmicks, nothing to hide behind. Dobel Tequila, smooth and clean, with that soft sweetness a good tequila keeps in its back pocket. Agave nectar, golden and slow. Fresh lime juice, sharp enough to wake up your whole face. Three ingredients. That's it. A margarita with the confidence to keep it simple.
It arrived cold and bright, catching the low sun like a lantern, the best margarita I have ever ordered out of spite.
He looked at my glass. "What is that?" "The Wingman," I said. "Want one?"
Dave is still waiting for his. I've decided he can order his own.

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.
