I am heading to Tyler and Daniela’s… Daniela and Tyler's destination wedding on Saturday at the Mauna Lani Rockslide Estate on the Big Island of Hawaii and I am the best man.
We are staying for 10 days at Rockslide which is located on the Mauna Lani Resort Golf Course which I plan to golf a couple of times.
Yesterday I played golf at Gleneagles in West Van and saw this sign announcing that their restaurant is having their grand opening May 1st and then is open for breakfast, lunch and dinner the next day. I am very excited for this as the previous restaurant closed about 5 years ago and the new clubhouse and pro shop are finally open and the new coffee shop is also opening soon (at the end of March according to this poster).
Golf at Gleneagles is only $22 for nine holes which is easily the best deal in Vancouver and the good people at the City of West Vancouver have put a great deal of effort (and $$) to make improvements to the course recently. They have also added on online booking system that makes it easy to reserve tee times.
I think that I will be making 2 reservations for my next trip out there, one at 10am and another at 1:15pm. That will allow for a quick snack before 9 holes, then lunch (and a beer) and another 9 holes before heading home and all for about $65 which is a great deal. I am not sure what kind of fare the new restaurant will offer but I imagine that it will be burgers and pub food for lunch with steaks and salads for dinner.
The official press release reads: "The Clubhouse facility features a magnificent banquet ball (also known as The Great Hall) to host weddings, parties, and special events. The banquet hall services will be available for the community to book at competitive rates. The focus of food services will be on reasonably priced, quality, fresh, local food and produce. The Operator’s commitment to the environment will be evident in the local menu selections, business practices and décor which complements the architectural heritage of the facility."
The North Shore News identified the Operator as Bernd Rohde who owns the Lynn Valley location of the Rocky Mountain Flatbread Company in North Vancouver
Good job Gleneagles, we'll be seeing more of each other soon.
