Besides fresh and simple food, we do not ask much of our halfway house, which is
perhaps why there are so few of any distinction. Then again, what more do we
need than a simple menu with an emphasis on food that can be quickly
prepared and eaten just as rapidly? The ideal halfway house matches the
clubhouse architecture in some way and is discreetly situated so any residual
noise related to its operation is minimized. It can be encountered twice in
a round and features a small seating area, which many clubs discourage in the
name of pace of play. No, provide the option to enjoy a leisurely lunch and let
those in a hurry play through. Ultimately, our halfway house features some
sort of distinctive touch. Perhaps it’s the sweeping view at Sand Hills Golf
Club or the water-tower mystique of Pine Valley’s pit stop (pictured). But the best of all
is Hot Dog Bill’s linear-shaped cheeseburgers at the Olympic Club, where a whiff
of the grill can encourage even the most downtrodden to persevere as the Lake
course takes its inevitable toll on your scorecard.Next: Ideal Finishing Hole
