Hate to say it. Thought this could become the new local bar and hangout. Started with good food and service and now it has gone downhill. How can you mess us nachos and a quesadilla. Bartenders are uninterested. I will buy a beer here just I played golf but I have decided to stop coming here as a destination because it stopped being that about a year ago.

We stopped by here to grab a drink for the range. We ordered a couple of the IPAs and enjoyed them, along with the regular fries.It's pretty self-serve - you order at the bar and get a buzzer for the food. Solid service and solid drink and food. They have a happy hour starting at 7 pm the weekdays, and starting at 5pm on weekends. There's a ton of indoor and outdoor seating. On Friday at 5ish, it was busier than I've ever seen it but enough seats for a few more parties!

I'm not too sure about this eatery that is servicing this small golf course and driving range in the south bay. It definitely looks re-done, quite modern and hip versus dated and stagnant like San Jose Muni's bar area. It's a food trailer where the food is cooked, so after placing your order, you basically have to pick it up with a pager, and go sit either indoors or out. Hot Dog ($9/3*) It is a split 1/4 lb dog that's grilled. I like em just fine, but don't really want to wait 10 minutes for a simple hot dog when I'm about to head on out to the course. This is more of a sit-down hot dog, even comes with a bag of Lay's. Also I like to put onions and mustard on a dog, but their condiment self serve area is very sparse. Ketchup, mustard and maybe some hot sauce. For almost $10, which is steep for a golf course hot dog, I didn't see decent options to dress your dog. A quite un-Uhmurican move for such an Uhmurican food. Tri Tip Sandwich ($15/4*) Okay this is the thing to get here. It is crazy simple and almost a questionable value, cuz all it is, is Bun and Sliced Meat. No sauce, no produce value, no cheese. 2 ingredient meal for $15?! Okay they throw in a tiny ramekin of decent potato salad.But that tri tip is legit. Not medium rare status but certainly still juicy. A slight smoke flavor and perfectly seasoned, not bland at all. Deli thin slices and they do give you a meaty bite. I loved it but just kinda wanted some onions or jalapenos to go with on the last few bites. But as far as simplicity goes, this kinda nails it. I like how they have a full bar here along with decent beers. But their beer chalk board is incredibly hard to read, like reading graffiti off of an inner city wall. Very cluttered and almost illegible. They need to redesign that. Their patio is top notch, nice wooden furniture, even a fire pit. But even that is dampened by the 'I don't really want to be here' attitude of the weekend staff. We were there about a little past 7 pm after a hot summer's evening round. There were still a ton of people there, whether on the patio, or on the range or coming in from a round of golf. They told us that it was last call for food when the hours listed said hours til 9pm. We got served but with a ton of attitude. I still liked my sandwich, but the next few times I came in, I totally made other plans to get the hell out of there and eat elsewhere after a round. If a place shows that they don't want a customer's business, I will more than oblige. My hunger and money will go where it is welcomed. Cut and dry.

They have their own parking lot but it does get pretty full due to all the people that goes there for the driving range. There's indoor and outdoor seating with a fire pit. They have a full bar with craft and domestic beers on tap, and cocktails to choose from. There were a few people behind the bar but it was really only one person who took orders. I thought the food and drinks were pretty good. I don't mind coming back to try out the driving range. This is a good spot to eat, drink and/or play.

After shooting a bucket of balls, went down stairs to grab a beer. The bar has a fun selection on tap and a bunch of tall cans also. Ordered the Tri Tip sandwich with potato salad and my buddy got a Bacon burger with onion rings, really good! Check in was easy, staff was friendly and the vibe is really chill. They have fire pit and good music. Parking was tight but nothing crazy. Cool spot, check it out.

I do appreciate who ever controls the air conditioning and keeps it very cool in the bar area because it gets extremely hot on the range . Thank you.

Solid lunch spot with great service when you're hitting the links. All remodeled fairly recently so it looks great. The bar is legit and there is plenty of seating. Got the tri tip sandwich with tater tots. The sandwich was a little small and the meat was a little salty but not bad for lunch. Give it shot while you practice your swing.

Paid 4 dollars to add 1 singular slice of bacon to my sandwich, also got curly fries and it came with 4 fries. $10 for a slice of bacon and 4 fries. I understand golf courses charge more for food but come on.

Definitely coming back for drinks and to hit some balls with the husband. Drink are great and happy hour after 4pm with $5 drinks what a deal. Next time we will try to food, they have reasonable prices and our daughter had fun hitting balls too.

Not just a place for golfers. I don't golf, but was meeting a friend there for a late afternoon beer. What a gem! Great selection of beers, many of them local. I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the food, so I've gone back a few times. Burger and fries were excellent. Hand-shaped patty on a great bun. The smoked tri-tip sandwich was also great. Looking forward to next time.

Came in a few times after a round of golf and the bartenders always have an attitude. Like they're doing you a huge favor getting you a drink. Not the feeling I want when it seems like I'm a burden just trying to order a beer or close out my tab. Too bad because it's a great bar, golf is awesome and food hits the spot.

Prices are average food not bad bartender no personality whatsoever extremely unfriendly lack of attention to customers a little personality could make you a lot of money in tips

Have eaten here quite a few times after a round of golf and the food is pretty good. The reason for the 1 star is for the rude male bartender. My girlfriend and I were waiting patiently at the bar to order some food and drinks. There was a big group of about 6 (or more) so of course it was a bit of a wait. After they were all done I mentioned to bartender that we were going to order food and drinks. With his back turn he just yells "we stop serving at 8:30." I look at my phone and it's 2 minutes after 8:30. The frustrating part is he knows we were waiting behind that big group and there was nobody behind us, so he couldn't give us a break? Yea I get there's no food service after a certain time, but come on. It's not like we we're going to order a ton of food. He could have been a bit more apologetic. As mentioned before, I've eaten here a lot with no issues after late tee times. I'll keep playing the course and possibly eat here but if that same server is there I'm leaving and eating somewhere else.
