I came here today to catch some football and lunch. Service was terrible due to them clearly being under staffed so I don’t fault the waiter who was also bartending. It was not obvious to seat ourselves so we stood there longer than necessary, once seated it took about 5 minutes to get our drink order, 25 minutes later my food arrives before our drinks. Again clearly under staffed as our waitress was very apologetic. I watched what appeared to be a manager walking around and checking on other tables that had what appeared to be gild club members. Throughout my entire visit we felt ignored and neglected. I will not return and will pass along my experience to everyone I know. If you aren’t a mega rich golfer I think you’re better off hitting up the nearest fast food restaurant as they will at least be kind to you.

The manager of this restaurant should be ashamed of their poor planning on a holiday weekend with a fully booked golf course. Not only were there no considerations to adjusting the restaurant/bar time to accommodate the holiday rush. But only a bartender and single kitchen staffer were schedule for opening at 11. After waiting for the first major wave of people to get through my friend and I waited 35 minutes to receive a turkey sandwich and hot dog as we made the turn at hole 9.As for the actual restaurant food rating I am giving it a 1 star because that was the sadest thing I had ever gotten at a golf course, and it came with a bun that was so stale it rivaled the toughest beef jersey to pull, yes I said pull apart because you couldn't bite through it. The turkey club was a good sandwich but the fries tasted like old oil with next to no seasoning on them. Threw them out.For such a nice looking restaurant I would have expected something better and more accommodating. Very disappointing.Props to the bartender for keeping her cool as she was bombarded by customers immediately after opening.

I was there for OVER 2 hours and not one server asked if I’d like anything. I love the band and understand they were super busy 1st hour but many left and still no service!

I come here often. The staff is wonderful. It's clean and safe and has free parking. Every Saturday they have a band. No cover/all ages. The food is "meh". The dance area is carpeted, which is kinda' a bummer if you are a dancer. It's an early venue that caters to an older crowd. The bands are of varying musical genres and usually some of the best our area has to offer. They have a small attached bar and a lovely covered patio. It's a nice place to bring a family or, especially, older relatives.
