What are the best combo meals - golf and food?
« on: January 12, 2011, 12:24:04 PM »
Had this discussion the other day, and candidates mentioned quickly included

Colonial and Chicken Fried Steak,
Castle Pines and Ribeye 22 oz steaks
Muirfield Village and Milkshakes
Pine Valley and Turtle Soup
Olympic Club and Hamburgers on Hot Dog Bun
TOC and Pub Lunch
Augusta and Egg Salad Sandwhich (or Champions Dinner!)
Atlanta CC and Waffle House
Beverly (or any Chicgo Club) and White Castle

There are a few others, but what courses would you go play to best combine great golf with a great meal afterwards, either in the clubhouse or very nearby in the host city?

Ditto, although the burger at the O Club is darned good!

Olympia Fields and a Tuesday Night Raiders dinner.  Hand-down the best traditional combination of golf and dinner I've ever heard of at a club and they do it at least ten Tuesdays a summer.  The menu ranges from Italian to steak to veal to Christmas in July.  Usually 100 guys play and eat and it's a hoot.

The milkshake at Castle Pines is pretty awesome, I think I knocked out about 5 in one day. I will also count the Bloody Mary at Fallen Oak because it had a green bean in it. I will throw out a few other regional dishes, there is an Edelmens BBQ at Praire Lakes outside Dallas and a Johnny's Burgers at Sugar Creek Canyons in Hinton, Oklahoma.

If they would allow it, I wouldn't leave the halfway house at Castle Pines until I weighed 800 lbs.

The last beer I had stateside was at Guadalajara's, about 400 yards from the south gate at Sleepy Hollow.

So my vote goes to the traditional pairing...Sleepy Hollow and Carne Asada with Dos Equis.

Blame it on Corey Miller and George Bahto.

Pretty much any meal and Sleepy Hollow.
I know that restaurant well having lived in that clubhouse for awhile((although it might've been a diferent place when i was there-Guadalajara's is good though)

Merion and a Pine Valley afterward.  Drinks count as food, right?

Inverness had one of the best dinner experiences.  It was like eating at a 5 star restaurant.  

ASU Karsten and the In-N-Out right around the corner.  18 holes on a Doak 0 and dinner for $25!

Cheeseburger at Ben's Porch at Sand Hills.


That's a solid entry, but dinner and drinks in the clubhouse at Sand Hills is pretty solid as well.  I was there one night when a big storm blew in (we could see it a flashing for an hour before it arrived) and we all enjoyed a steak and a endless bottles of cabernet with Old Mother Hubbard (Dee Hubbard from Palm Springs) regaling the assembled red faced masses.  Unforgettable.

Another unforgettable club whore experience was showing up wounded early one morning at LACC.  We were greeted by a blueblood member who said, "You guys aren't members, are you?"  I said, "No, but we're guest of..."  He cut me off and said, "I don't care about that, you guys look like you could use some medicine.  Let me introduce you to Juan the Assassin, our locker room bartender."  Two Bloody Marys later (and a crisp Franklin for Juan, thank you very much), we had our sea legs restored enough to go to the first tee.

Jeff - in my imagination, I will one day start a morning in late October with a traditional english breakfast at Walton Heath, in the company of a very old member, and after playing 18 with him will have a steak and kidney pie and a pint of the local brew in the company of the club professional, sharing stories and histories; and then after playing 18 more with another old member, I would have late afternoon tea, with shortbread cookies and those little sandwiches, and tea and milk; before playing a final nine alone as the sun went down and then retiring to my rooms to freshen up and dress for dinner with the Secretary, which dinner would be a vegetable soup followed by rare roast beef along a carafe of their finest claret, and then coffee.  And then I'd move to the lounge to sit by the fire with a glass of bourbon and a book. I have no idea if that's the type of food Walton Heath has, but in my imagination it should!

I'm looking forward to Sagebrush and their dining experience with Mr. Jenkins someday. As for deals. Can't beat PG and Michaels.

I've made a huge mistake.

The chivo tacos and salsa verde made by Don's crew at Wolf Point is really special.  No seriously, it is.  

THAT is the best combination of food and golf I've had yet.  But I'd be willing to see if the lunch at National compares.
