Our experience here was amazing! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and it was honestly the best golf course food we’ve ever had. My husband an i ordered a chop cheese and a Nashville hot chicken, both really good dishes. Everything along with the service was on point. Will definitely be returning!!

Great location: quiet and beautiful view from the back patio. Food was disappointing for the most part: burger & sweet potato waffle fries were very good, fish & chips was not good, loaded mac & cheese was terrible; looked like it had a heavy sprinkle of buffalo seasoning on. The service was very mediocre: we had to ask for everything twice (a glass, a spoon, vinegar, etc).

This restaurant was fine - I think I was expecting something a bit fancier but it is a bar at a golf course. The food was good and the view was amazing but the ambiance was greatly lacking.

Appeared to only have one waitress. Orders included items from other orders rather than an individual's order, which was most likely several kitchen errors. Food was very good and would go there again.

Felt tricked, description NEVER said Golf Club House Restaurant! The restaurant and patio were way more casual than described! Golfers that were dining alongside were loud and obnoxious! Far from farm to table as promoted! Will not return.

Went to celebrate a late Father’s Day dinner. Sat on the outdoor patio. It was a warm evening, but it got a little too warm where we sat so we moved ourselves back closer to the building to garner more shade. Maybe the tables closer to the edge of the balcony could be rearranged or some form of sunshade could be extended down when the sunsets? Of course would need to be able to see through it because of the amazing view. We loved our drinks, but the food was not the best. Certainly not worth the price, as we all thought we had had better.

We were surprised that we couldn’t order off the regular menu and the brunch price was a sticker shock. We had to ask our waitress at least four times for the drink order to be delivered. What are the food was great we did not think it was worth the $46 a plate.

The outdoor patio provides a beautiful view and is newly updated with a cover and lighting. The service is excellent. Thank you, Jen! I had the fish and chips. I’m not a fan of the cole slaw. It tasted like it had horse radish. The fish was a little mushy. The breakfast/brunch is much better.

We drove through an hour of traffic to her to Golden from Erie. We called because we were going to be 5 minutes late. The person that answered said okay and didn’t even ask us who we were. Bad sign ; we must be the only reservation. Upon arrival, we realized that this is nothing morn than a less than average golf cafeteria. Poorly decorated, messy and empty. When I say empty, I mean that there’s a super large, very loud party behind some closed doors. We seriously stood at the messy podium/bar area for 10 minutes before we just walked right back out. I’d drop this account. The reviews on OpenTable do NOT reflect the restaurant and are actually completely misleading. I had a more accurate picture from Yelp. I look to Openable for accuracy. If that not there and it’s just a marketing engine, I may dismiss this app for future reference.

This is the most amazing setting for a restaurant - definitely the best views in Golden. But - cold food (that was meant to be hot), cold coffee, no caddies on the tables so you had to wait forever for salt/pepper/etc. as your food got colder. Un-bussed tables, no spoons for coffee. Waitress was nice, but had too many tables to manage. Manager did not seem to be pitching in to help at all. Online menu is different from actual menu, so don't base meal choices on it. Just as Mark Twain said "Golf is a good walk spoiled", Schnepf's restaurant is a good view spoiled.

It's basically a golf course restaurant. The food quality reflects that. It does have a very pretty view and the servers were friendly & competent. But the burger one member of our party had was cooked to death (reheated?) and I wondered the same thing about my chicken sandwich.
