Best Food/Signature Dishes/Signature Drinks at Golf Clubs
« on: December 11, 2008, 02:05:41 PM »
What clubs have the best food, signature dishes and signature drinks?

I would nominate Pine Valley's turtle soup.

I have heard that the burgers at the turn at Olympic Club are great, but I did not order one.

I have heard that the milkshakes at Castle Pines are excellent and look forward to trying on in May. 

I also enjoyed having a southside on the Shinnecock porch.

I enjoy my club's "Lake Nona ice cream."  Not sure how they make it, but it is awesome!

Cheeseburgers at Olympic are #1. Milkshakes at Castle Pines are a close second. The bacon at Pine Valley for breakfast is about as good as it gets in the morning.

As far as at-the-turn snacks go, the homemade beef jerky at the Golf Club outside of Columbus, Ohio is quite distinctive.

Pretty sure there was a previous long thread on this subject but don't know how to find it, so I will cast my vote again for the Spyglass burger at Spyglass Hill along with their prime rib chili.
Although I remember the burger "dogs" at Olympic had a big following in the last thread, I have still yet to try one.

 agree with the Olympic burger dogs.

Next time I'm there I'm gonna pound down like 4 of them.

I've heard the Merion Kobe burgers are something to behold.....

I've never understood the fascination with Kobe beef burgers.  Sure, they probably taste great -- but it's just a burger, and do I really want to be spending $30 on one?

at Sage Valley, it's the collard green soup...if you're there, be sure to ask the staff to have 'Hash' Johnson come to your table and tell you a 'little'
about his...

My old golf club, Huddersfield Golf Club, in a suberb of Huddersfield called Fixby, do a fabulous sandwich.

Funnily enough it is called the Fixby sandwich.

Take an English hamburger bun ( t cake) and toast it. Add a nice thick slice of slightly burned gammon and throw a fried egg on top. Eat it open faced with knife and fork. Add salt and pepper and any sauce of your choice. Mustard is preferable.

After a nice hike up and down dale in twenty mile an hour winds all day there is nothing better. Pair it with a well pulled pint of local bitter and you soon forget your earlier hackathon.

I had a bowl of snapper soup with Redanman at LuLu.  While not as high-brow as Pine Valley, I assume it's all pretty much the same stuff.  Leads to this joke:

What happens when Bogey has a bowl of snapper soup?
Nothing.  There's some things a Hillbilly just won't touch.

That stuff is the grits of the north - everybody pretends to like it, yet nobody really does.

It's pretty hard to beat one of Tom's burgers on Ben's porch after your first 18 at Sand Hills.  And, just tell Tom to go heavy on his seasoning!

A Bacon Bap after 10 at Sunningdale is not bad either.

    The food at Old Westbury is astounding.

Basically, you play golf and afterwards attend a wedding in the clubhouse. :)

It is the Sand Hills (Pine Valley, NGLA, TOC, Cypress, Shinnecock, Rock Creek [insert your #1 here]) of eating.

Carl,

A couple of years ago I went down the road to Big Sur with my daughter and dropped off at the Post Ranch. We had a Kobe Beef Burger and a bottle of Grgich Hills Chardonnay. The Kobe was $18.00 and terrific, of course there has never been a bad Grgich Hills Chardonnay.

A month later my wife and I went to Wickets, the bistro of Bernardus Lodge which is a five minute drive from the house. I was raving to the waiter about my Kobe Burger earlier in the year. The response was quick and clear. I had nothing until I tasted Chef Staminetz's Duck Burger. I ordered it, gentlemen, it was a taste sensation. Duck and fois gras under a wonderful bun, quite possibly the most succulent burger ever made.  My wife picked up the tag and we went home.

A month later, I ordered the same dish. Another fantastic meal and when finished I picked up the tab. It was only then that I realized that this was the most expensive burger in my gastronomic experience.... $35.00.

Unfortunately it is no longer on the menu, there was no profit in it.

Bob

Spyglass burger is amazing. I made a point of trying it after hearing about it here. As for Castle Pines milkshakes, it's a yummy shake and all, but I think the specialness has more to do with having a shake while golfing than the shake itself being mindblowing.

Cowboy Jim (I think was the nice man's name) makes a pretty mean burger at Sand Hills.

Lobster lunch at NGLA.

Pulled pork sandwich at Tobacco Road.

Fish tacos at Cabo del Sol can't be missed.

and the wine list at Mayacama is better than most five star restaurants.
