Great vibe & service. Wedding was going on and was not too noisy. Live music on the patio.

Such a fun experience! I went with a party of six and we all had a great time. We ordered the Hole-in-one burrito (delicious; and big enough to share), the Eagle (did not try but was told it is good), and the pancakes (heard these were good too). We sat outside and had a nice view of the driving range.

My tacos were very greasy even though tasty. Service was very good but we ate outside and the flys were terrible so I wish I would have chosen inside seating.

The Grill is always my go to place for special occasions especially since I can now make reservation. The only thing missing was something special as it was my birthday which was noted on the reservation. Overall, had a fun time

Super fun place to have breakfast lunch or dinner with friends or family. The patio is awesome for families and your kids can use the putting green while you enjoy dinner! Food is great, and the service is great as well.

Their happy hour menu is what makes this a great value, otherwise can be costly for a golf grill. Ambience is fun & casual and wait staff is great! Especially Krystal (our favorite waitress!)

Our server and staff on duty did a great job reserving two tables for our large family group to be together, eat, drink and practice putting and drivng at the same time. Food always good - loved Smash burgers on Monday. Aperol Spritz is refreshng! Birthday desert was lovely! A special day made better at the Grill! Thanks!

Great little spot, no heaters on the patio and quite a few bugs. A little pricey for what you get, especially the drinks. Food was good, but pricing is akin to 4 star restaurant, which is why the value was a “fair” rating.

$85 per person for Mothers Day brunch; did not include ANY drinks - just water. Offerings did not justify the high, gouging price. No crab legs or “special” food items, just standard buffet. Food offered was good but not worth the price. Won’t do this again next year.

I don’t like to be judgmental, but my family and I went to the Mother’s Day brunch buffet (my first Mother’s Day mind you) and the food was so horribly subpar my family ended up eating basically only the salad and going to a bar afterwards that had better food… This said, the tables were decorated beautifully and our server was amazing. Just really confusing paradox and disappointing. Will not be going back.

Mother’s Day brunch was fantastic. Live music, carving station and omelet station. The best desserts I’ve had at a brunch! Don’t forget the pineapple upside down cake!

We went for mothers day as the place we normally go to was not having a brunch this year. We use to come to the brunch at lake San Marcos when I was a kid so I thought it would be fun for my mother. The new spot does not overlook the lake, it overlooks the golf course. when we got there they were working on a water pipe, the restrooms were not available and you had to take a golf court to the hotel if you needed the bathroom which wasn't a problem for us but bad day for this to happen. My problem was most of the food was cold, COLD. bacon, pancakes, French toast, Brussel sprouts, eggs, chicken all the food was cold. There was a nice dessert section some of it was good, others not great. The prime rib was overcooked the first time and the second one came out and it was rare, like Mooing rare and both were flavorless, the only way it was edible was to put the au jus on it otherwise it was so dry. For mothers day brunch we are use to a little more "special" items. every brunch we have ever been to have had eggs Benedict. for mothers day the last 2 years and before covid the places we have chosen always had flowers for mom and bottomless mimosas for a good price. Nothing special for moms here. Men were wearing ball caps while eating, lots of jeans and shorts not a very respectful crowd for celebrating mothers day at what is suppose to be an upscale restaurant. The staff was all very nice though.

We went with friends to the “special” Mother’s Day and were very disappointed with our first visit to this restaurant. For the expensive price, the food was no better than an average restaurant buffet and the ambiance was like a pop up wedding reception. The service was spotty as well. The write-up really oversold the event. We will not be returning.

We went for Mother’s Day lunch buffet. Nice choice of foods, all well prepared and delicious. We were seated right when we arrived at our reservation time. Service was otherwise polite but slow. Strangely, we were told they were out of ice tea and also coffee. Doesn’t seem like something that’s right. Four stars.

We made a reservation for Mother's Day. Unfortunately they were having water issues which is unfortunate & unforseen however the service was not what was expected for a place like this. Also, the food was over priced. We paid $85 per person and the food was pretty basic. They weren't even able to provide coffee or tea. We will not be returning or recommending this place.

We had the best time. Everything tasted great I was just surprised that they didn’t have coffee at this event. So disappointed. My daughter loved every second of this event. She ate and was so happy. With being able to make her own salad.

I was displeased that this brunch was booked for the special events and buffet offered. However, the events were only during unspecified hours which would have been nice to know before booking, and the food was not being replenished during our reservation at 3pm so we were left with stale, overcooked items. The server was very sweet, but that does not make up for the price I paid for an expensive and disappointing brunch.

We come here every year for Easter brunch. The kids love it! They have face painting, balloon animals, easter egg hunts and the Easter bunny! It's really fun. Brunch itself is good. There is a lot to choose from, nice staff and plenty of room for our large group. I have to say I was a little disappointed in the desserts this year. They were not as good as they have been in the past. But overall we had a great time!

We went for Thanksgiving and it was a beautiful spread but at $70 per person it did not include drinks and the food was not warm. I would still recommend, however, because it was a lovely venue and very nice to not cook.
