Like airports, golf courses are places were a good Bloody Mary just hits different. And this one at Kettle Moraine Golf Club was especially tasty.

We’ve reviewed their bloody before, but it’s been quite awhile. I had this one during the Icebreaker Scramble, their opening tournament of the season. We were on a bit of a frost delay (very on-brand for early-season Wisconsin golf), so it felt like the perfect time to grab a Bloody—especially with it being The Masters Tournament weekend.

This one came in a to-go styrofoam cup, which isn’t ideal from a presentation standpoint—but also completely understandable given the setting. Golf course, tournament day, trying to keep things moving… it gets a pass.

The garnish was simple and solid: a beef stick, a pickle, and two olives. Nothing excessive, but exactly what you want when you’re heading out to the course. They also asked if I wanted it spicy (always appreciate the option), and the spicy version delivered—really flavorful with a nice kick.

No chaser on this one, and I didn’t catch the price, but overall, it was a really enjoyable Bloody—especially in the moment.

If you’re kicking off the golf season at Kettle Moraine, this is a great way to start your round. It’s not about over-the-top presentation—it’s about a solid, spicy Bloody that fits the moment perfectly.

On Memorial Day, I played golf at Kettle Moraine Golf Club in Dousman, Wisconsin. There are not many bars/restaurants in the area, so afterward, we headed to the clubhouse for a cold beverage.

This was pretty much your standard Bloody Mary, no bells, no whistles, no beef stick, no burger. Definitely wouldn’t go out of my way to have it again, but when your options are limited, it still gets the job done.

Spice: Not spicy hot, but good.

Mix: Tomato juice, with their own spices added.

Chaser: None offered.

Fixin’s: Pickle and two olives.

Price: $5
