Best Meal Experience on a Golf Course
« on: August 11, 2010, 05:24:13 PM »
Perhaps my favorite part of my visit at Sagebrush was the dinner we had the Hideout. The fish pond, bald eagles snatching a trout out of it, great company, and fresh wings and steak prepared on the grill right next to the table was just awesome. That was the best meal I ever had on a golf course.

What is your favorite meal experience at a golf course? I know we have had a thread about particular food at golf courses, but I am looking for more of the "experience" part.

P.S. The 2nd favorite was at the turn house on Old Mac. Sipping the hot chocolate with cold marine winds howling at you while you sit on the chair looking out to the Pacific Ocean was truly sublime. I could have just sat there for hours.

Here is the pic...

Garlic Prawns on the Deck at Barnbougle closely followed by Hamburger on Ben's Porch at SH, with honorable mention to drinking out of a Sand Hills Copper Mug out on the back deck at the SH clubhouse with a plate of Nachos.

But for pure theatre and experience cant go past our first night at SH.  After the bar closed we retreated to our rooms with large polystyrene cups full of our drink of choice.  For one of our group that happened to be about 10 straight shots of Chivas Regal.  Dismal river running underneath our balconies, and huge thunderstorm lighting up the valley every 2 or 3 seconds as heavy rain doused the Sand Hills was pretty spectacular.

Dick Choi, What's the deal with Leary flexing for the camera with that O'Douls riding shotgun.......

Best meal for me was the first time I visited Olympic; it was an unforgettable merger of a great burger and my first successful access whoring.

The patio at Merion East.

For nature, I'll take the halfway house at Highlands Links.  (But Sagebrush looks fantastic!)

This thread is a Fail for Mayhugh not being in the picture.

To answer the question:  Ginger Snaps and Crackers and Cheese at Seminole.
I get it, you are mad at the world because you are an adult caddie and few people take you seriously.

Excellent spellers usually lack any vision or common sense.

I know plenty of courses that are in the red, and they are killing it.

Great photo Richard and I definitely agree that Sagebrush takes the prize on this one.  Lots of great conversation that night in addition to the great eats, although the bugs were pretty bad later that night if I recall correctly!

Oh, by the way, I just received an email from Mr. Zokol wanting to remind you that it's 'The Hideout', not 'The Lookout'. :)

not on at golf course, but NEAR a golf course.....

my best buddy and i were in St. Andrews for the very first time about 15 years ago and we had secured a time the next morning around 9AM (luckily) on TOC.  we were staying at some bed and breakfast and had been out having fun the night before (first time i had heard of this tom jones fella???).  the next morning we were snoozing at 7:30am as you do when you had 5 too many gin and tonics and in barged this 18 year old scottish girl to serve us breakfast.  at first we (slightly fuzzy from the night before way) were like, WTF and who are you, and then all of sudden we looked at her, looked at each other, looked at her, looked at each other and decided all is well in the world.  she was, well, pretty attractive and we were like, why are you here again, and she said to serve your breakfast, get up and eat......ahhhh...to be there again!

Phil's Grill, at Grayhawk.  Steak, service, and entire meal was top notch.   Also, the Burger at the turn at Sutton Bay was very good.

Aren't these threads just another way for people to brag about the courses they've visited?

I've never seen anyone write anything like the hard boiled egg at Rancho Park Muni between 11 and 12.

At the first King's Putter, Maderas had Arogant Bastard on tap - my new favorite beer and great new friends.
Thinking of Bob, Rihc, Bill, George, Neil, Dr. Childs, & Tiger.

Eighteen at Philly's finest public course in the morning, then El Rinconcito in Upper Darby for lunch.  Cirba and I have worn this place out this summer!

Cheeseburger at Olympic. I don't care if it is bragging, it was awesome. The hot dogs at my local muni are second though.

Then you have never had the hot dog (if it can be called that) at Scranton Muni. 

A near death experience.
