The food was fine (not great) and it’s a very pretty space on the course. However, service was abysmal. It took over a half hour to get anything including tap water. Food came out before drinks. When I mentioned to the waiter that we had a time limit, he dropped the check—but before any food and drinks arrived. Throughout all of this my son observed multiple employees milling around the bar and hanging out, doing nothing. We won’t return.

This is truly a golf restaurant with pleasant enough views and rather ordinary cuisine. The service was quite good.
