Dragon Ridge Country Club is located in MacDonald Highlands and is surrounded by some of the most beautiful homes in the valley. It is a private club, but with a bit of effort, I am sure anyone can enjoy a nice lunch on the golf course. I had the pleasure of dining there for a private luncheon, but decided to give myself the tour of the facility. We ate in the large dining room, where servers were dressed is white and always present. When I walked around, however, I noticed a smaller grille that looked out toward the driving range. There was a small bar in here as well, and some members were watching a baseball game on the plasmas located on either side of the bar. There was a gift shop, mostly golf attire and equipment, but also some fun girly bath bubbles and soaps. Another bar area was across from the great dining room, and the bartender told me that at night, they open the big glass panels to reveal a porch that looks out to the course. He also gave me a great chocolate martini on the house (thanks, wink ) I continued my self-guided tour downstairs which led to the locker rooms. The lockers had engraved names of members (pretty swanky) and all sorts of toiletries. I spritzed a bit of perfume and continued on. There was a game room, a gym, another set of showers specifically for the gym, and a pool. The pool was my favorite. It had an amazing waterfall which wasn't on, but still gorgeous, a kiddie pool, and a snack bar. There were some kids hanging out around the pool eating cheeseburgers and hot dogs, and they told me they come skateboard down from there homes for the snack bar food. I would too, that is, if I knew how to skateboard. So I made my way back up to the dining room where everyone was finishing lunch, and we relocated to the bar where I received my first martini. Dragon Ridge Country Club, while indeed exclusive, is the perfect place for something like a graduation party, meeting, or reception. It is comfortable and classy, and located on the Dragon Ridge Gold Course, which I will save for a later review!
Recommended drink: My chocolate martini made a lasting impression
Recommended lounge area: The bar which overlooks the gold course, not the driving range...
