Day trip to RB Golf Club & Resort

BonBon September 4, 2019 6 Comments

A little over an hour drive from the suburb of Plano, TX is the newly renovated RB Golf Club & Resort. The clubhouse and many of the holes offer beautiful overlooking views of the Bridgeport Lake. It’s an easy drive as the Resort is conveniently located on State Highway 380 and so it’s is a great day trip out of the DFW metroplex to play a round of golf or just to get away from the hustle of the city and relax in the countryside while enjoying a drink or some food at The Lakeview Tavern & Grill, the Resort’s own onsite bar and restaurant.

I went with my husband, two kids, and my Mom for an overnight stay at the Resort’s vacation rental alongside the golf course and just minutes walk away from the clubhouse. It was nothing fancy (think Airbnb) but very spacious and comfortable. With three bedrooms, a large living area, a dining area and decently equipped kitchen; it was perfect for all of us (the kids also gave their thumbs up for the internet, and my hubby even tested out and approved the Vudu streaming on the smart TV). There is a small outside area backing up to the runway of the first hole which also has an outdoor grill if you want to hang outside with a few friends in the evening. RB Golf & Resort are running a promotion right now called “Play and Stay” which says it all; so check it out and mention my name and you may get a little special attention.

Beautiful day for some golf!

We arrived at the course after lunch and decided to practice our swing at the driving range right after checking in. Ty, at Pro Shop, was accommodating and very friendly to my kids who happened to be so excited about getting to “hit some balls” (if they can even hit them. HA). I like that driving range was covered, else if not, then we were all going to melt with Texas’ heat. Yes, we sweated it out for 2 hours and oh boy… how I miss this game! I was so excited to get out onto the course the next day!!!

We had our dinner at their onsite bar and restaurant, Lakeview Tavern & Grill. There is ample space at the bar for you to have a drink after a round of golf and they also have booths and tables in case you want to sit down and eat some of the classic shareables they have on the menu.

The Resort has also upped their game by hiring a new chef, Christopher Gabbert, to bring some flair to the menu alongside some of the traditional pub favorites. Chef Chris gave us a preview of the dishes that will be going onto the menu starting September.

With Chef Christopher Gabbert

The September Menu Includes:

  • Southern Shrimp Ceviche
  • Bourbon Bacon Jam Burger
  • Monte Cristo w/ Smoked Turkey – Swiss Cheese and Raspberry Chipotle
  • Teriyaki Salmon Bowl w/ Jasmine Rice
The salmon was cooked to perfection.
The sliders rocked! And the Monte Cristo sandwich was paired well with the dip.
With my family. And yes, the kids got some corn dogs and fries:)

Thank You, Chef Chris! The food was all yummy!

While waiting for our food, we had a great time relaxing and listening to some music. There was a band playing at that night.

There are also facilities to cater for larger parties or special events in one of their two banquet dining areas. While we ate indoors, it looked like there was some limited outdoor seating available under some trees with views overlooking the course and the lake in the distance (they also have some rocking chairs on the porch outside the banquet areas).

Perfect spot to chill and enjoy some peace!

Thank You, RB Golf and Resort for hosting our stay.

    Looks like a day well spent, from all perspective. Given the fantastic views and the music, dinner would have already tasted better. All in all it was a great experience.

Let's talk about Travel✈ I know.... I know... i Let's talk about Travel✈  I know.... I know... it's been a while, but the latest news is stirring a lot of commotion in the industry.

CDC order that ALL travelers flying to the US from abroad will have to show proof of negative COVID-19 test before boarding their flight starting January 26. This applies to EVERYONE including US citizens, with the exceptions to some like children under 2, airline crews, federal law enforcement agents and on-duty military personnel. 
So with these rules in mind, do you agree with my daughter?👎
Can you see her displeasure? A 9yr old already bitten by the travel bug and she really misses traveling, and I totally understand her. However, I am for safety as well👍🤷‍♀️

What's your take on this issue?
