Post-Golf Lunch: Fairway Restaurant, Sagaponack, NY

When you think golf in the Hamptons, you see dollar signs. Most of the time, that’s true. But not at the Poxabogue Golf Center in Sagaponack. This 9-hole course can usually be played for as little as $20, so when JB saw an online special for $5, golf was the new plan for the day. And the minute Big Z came off the course, he had to eat. Luckily, they had a restaurant at the course.

The Fairway Restaurant is really a diner that specializes in breakfast and lunch. It is predominantly a crowd of regulars going for eggs or one of their post-golf specials (there are 9 of those, get it?). But these are rich regulars.

Big Z and Little D each had a hamburger and fries, I had a cup of chili and JB had an iced tea (shocking I know, but he had eaten a bacon, egg and cheese about 90 minutes earlier). $40 later I felt that I had been taken.

The burgers were fine, good even. Fries were soggy and greasy. The “famous chili” was like drinking taco meat. I couldn’t tell you about the iced tea.

Oh well, at least golf was cheap.

Until we eat again,
