We had grand plans for our trip to Arizona. We were going to go to the WM Phoenix Open and also, play golf ourselves, in addition to hiking and other fun warm and sunny weather activities.

Unfortunately, those plans were mostly foiled by the rain and cold the week we were there; however, we did squeeze in a “Nine and Dine” at Las Sendas Golf Club in Mesa, AZ.

We took advantage of the golf course’s Back Nine and Breakfast special; we teed off around 8:30am and then had a $25 credit at the Grille.

The course was simply gorgeous and in great shape even though the weather wasn’t cooperating. It was chilly and windy, but we got in all nine holes and were walking into the restaurant just as it started to rain.

Alongside our breakfast fare, we ordered a round of bloodies for the table.

The Bloody Mary at Las Sendas was very tasty. It came with two olives, a lemon and a lime (no chaser). I’m not quite sure how much this one cost either, due to the special package we had purchased, but I can tell you this hit the spot. If you’re ever in the Mesa area, check out Las Sendas and stop in at the Grille!

Last week, I was honored to be hosted for a round of golf at Tuckaway Country Club in Franklin, Wisconsin. We had a great time playing and carried the conversation over to the lovely patio for a couple of post-round beverages.

It’s not every day you get to visit a private country club and play their course and try their Bloody Mary, so we made sure to grab one to review.

Spice & Mix: Zing Zang as a base, doctored up by the bartender

Fixin’s: Pickle and Olive

Chaser: None offered.

Price: $Unknown

While there was nothing unique about these bloodies, like airports, there is just something about bloodies on the golf course that hit different. As such, these bloodies were very tasty and went down easily.

We recently played golf at Talking Stick in Scottsdale, Arizona. Afterwards, we stopped in for a Bloody Mary at the Wildhorse Grille.

This Bloody Mary had good flavor and was refreshing after a long day of golf under the Arizona sun; however, it was pretty plain.

Actor Don Cheadle was spotted enjoying a Bloody during a round of golf recently…a man after our own hearts! Here’s the link.
