Please tell us about your favorite golf drink below:
You can’t go wrong with a Margarita. Shadow Creek in Las Vegas has one of the best/most potent margaritas around.
August 27th, 2009 at 3:57 pmHow about the “Hole in One?”
Orange bitters, lemon juice, Scotch and Vermouth.
August 27th, 2009 at 4:20 pmYou can’t go wrong with an “Arnold Palmer” from the MacKenzie Grill at Haggin Oaks.
August 27th, 2009 at 6:11 pmCan’t beat one of the fine selection of drafts at Champions Golf Links to go along with their out-of-this-world tuna melt.
August 28th, 2009 at 7:54 amArnold Palmer + Ketel One = John Daly
August 28th, 2009 at 8:58 amCherry Liqueur, Lemon Juice, Scotch and Sweet Vermouth = Sand Trap
Amareto, Lime Juice and Melon Liqueur = Broken Down Golf Cart
I love the Mango Mulligan at Forest Lake.
August 28th, 2009 at 2:44 pmI have tested a lot of drinks and I think the best one I have ever tasted was “The Special” over at Legends at Woodcreek Golf Course.
August 28th, 2009 at 2:50 pmThe 32 once Grande Margarita in “Phils Grill” at Grayhawk Golf Club in Scottsdale! WOW!!!
August 28th, 2009 at 5:26 pmTough for me to identify just one drink. So will expand this a little to best bar. Without doubt, that would be at Wilcox Oaks. Not for being fancy or upscale–but for the total hospitality one receives. Played a lot of golf down there in the late 90s and early 2000s with much of the membership (such as Al Lengtat, Mike Daly, Bill Spaletta, and Bob Corn). Definately a top notch experience and one much appreciated.
August 29th, 2009 at 6:33 pmWe live at our golf course at Oakdale Golf and Country Club and have a close set of golfing friends. Our drink is the Hoodie (named arrived as it is our “Neighborhood drink”). The drink is grey goose & diet tonic (watching our calories) and you can also have a Hoodie with Horns which is the same but a splash of sugar free red bull which gives you a little more edge in your golf game. It has caught on and now our clubs bartenders know it by name.
August 30th, 2009 at 9:12 pmAMAZING!!! I came on here to recommend “The Special” at Legends over at Woodcreek Golf Club and someone has already promoted it as their favorite drink too. I guess I shouldn’t be surprised it’s been a local favorite of the Woodcreek 19th hole for years. I will however offer this little bit of advice; If you order one have Danny make it. He puts just the right mix on it and it’s not too watery. And Hey, Tell him “The Fish” sent you in there!! Wink wink.
August 31st, 2009 at 9:09 amThat coffee at Bradshaw Ranch sure makes that sunrise 9 holes a little better.
September 1st, 2009 at 11:48 amA Blood Mary at Lockeford Springs! I know, Bloody Mary’s are a dime a dozen, but the concoction that the bartender (Mason Marsh) creates is out of this world. It’s a must whether you’re nursing a hangover or just want to have a hearty liquid breakfast.
September 4th, 2009 at 4:32 pmMaloney’s At Bing Maloney Golf Course-No one has a better selection of hot and cold Tea. Whether its 32 or 100 degrees outside you can always count on Maloney’s to warm you up or coolo you off.
