For many, one of the best ways to spend the Sunday in June known as Father’s Day is out on the links playing a round of golf with Dad. Of course, it doesn’t have to be Father’s Day and it doesn’t have to be with your dad for a visit to Windance Country Club in Gulfport. In fact, there doesn’t even have to be a round of golf to enjoy
a meal at the club’s restaurant, The View at 19, where no membership is needed to enjoy breakfast or lunch daily and dinner on Friday and Saturday nights.
The restaurant boasts floor-to-ceiling windows giving dining room guests at every table a perfect view of the golf course’s 18th hole. There is also a bar where guests can relax with a drink and enjoy a meal while recounting the best drives and putts of the day.
Always tasty and filling, the food is made fresh to order by Sous Chef Latonya
Smith and her team, and includes eggs, omelets and pancakes for breakfast, and sandwiches, salads and smashburgers for lunch. Smith said the variety of items ensures there is something for everyone no matter the appetite.
We were excited to try a few of the dishes Smith said were most popular, including the All American smashburger featuring Wagyu beef from the Wiggins-based
Black Jack Ranch. All of the beef burgers are one-third pound handmade patties, smashed on the grill and intensely seared. That juicy, seared flavor comes through in every crunchy bite of the over-sized patty and stands out deliciously against the crisp, fresh toppings.
