The Rusty Putter - Chestermere, Alberta

The W. M. U. M.

First time here. Came with friends on their recommendation for Fridays wing night. The place was quite busy. Inside was packed and very loud, we ended up on the patio over looking what I assume was the 18th hole green. Probably one of the best tables for views. As mentioned the place was busy, from being seated to having our drink and food order taken probably took about 15 minutes. Then it was between another 15-20 minutes for our drinks to arrive. Good thing Jon Taffer wasn't at our table. I had a spiced rum and coke. Tasty and well made. Not over iced, nicely blended with the perfect amount of booze. 👍
Just need to work on getting that first drink to the table in under a few minutes.
After about another near 20 minutes our wings made it. I will say, they were delicious. I had the salt and pepper. They were perfectly cooked through and had a really light coating of batter on them that gave a bit of a flaky crunch. They were seasoned just enough to let you know your taste buds were alive.
Overall it was really good , I understand that it was busy and many of the tables were parties of 4 or greater. That puts a lot pressure on the kitchen and bar staff. I will say they all seemed to be bustling, it wasn't from a lack of effort. I will presume like many places they are a little short on people for the busy nights. So good job to the staff and their efforts.

Food was great and service was very friendly. K definitely recommend as a brunch place to go with family of all ages. Our service was a bit slow but aside of that the food was generous and deliciously cooked. Will be back!

Closed on Tuesday at 535pm. Even though they are open till 10pm. Through the years the amount of times I’ve walked here and they’re not open is insane. This place sucks.

Great service, great food, and a very welcoming environment. It is honestly a great place to bring friends and family and enjoy the view of the golf course itself. And the best part is you don't go home hungry. I recommend giving it a try!

Loved the food. I had gotten the buddha bowl and everything was perfect aside from the fact I wish they "shook" my tofu about while frying it; a few pieces stuck together and though I'm sure it was fine because fryers have such high temperatures, an all around crisp would have been appreciated even if the egg in the coating (assumed they use egg) was fully cooked.
I wish there was more sauce! It was SO good. Usually peanut sauces are too peanut forward or they're quite vinegar forward or very salty... the sauce provided with the bowl was BEAUTIFULLY balanced. The cup provided on the side didn't feel like it was enough though! So nice that even a lady who isn't a fan of sauce needed more sauce! The avocado wasn't ripe on my bowl, but it was perfectly ripe on my partners bowl. Small miss but avocados in the kitchen business are always a hit or miss.

Service was great for what they could do on such a busy night! The girls were hustling around and remembered everything we pestered them for.

Atmosphere felt rather dull inside the building. It is a VERY loud place as the evening goes on and I feel more "life" could have been going on around us. Maybe a plant or 2?

The only notable thing is that the restaurant is up a flight of stairs and I gad to take my best guess to try and look for it. I'm not sure if it is wheel chair accessible? Overall a great place! Was nervous to try the salmon and steak based off of the other reviews... I might just have to try them next time!

Four of us went for dinner. I ordered the salmon. It was very overcooked and dry, not even edible. The scallop potatoes were mush. The only thing on the plate that I was able to eat were the steamed vegetables. The service was spotty. When I told the waitress it was very overcooked she just picked it up and left without a word.

Wish I had better to say about a gold course. Place was absolutely disgustingly dirty, food was horrible and the service was horrendous.
Went in and first thing don’t know where to go, no desk, no signs, just a dark small hall way with 3 different ways to go. We finally found the restaurant, up 2 flights of stairs (not handicap accessible- but had handicap bathrooms). We get to a table and looked around the place is absolutely disgusting the tables were caked on with sticky feeling, spider webs on all the tv’s, dead bugs all over the window cell with food crumbs, and pop under the table if you touched under with your leg/hand. The waitress brought over the menus and got us drinks, menus were sticky, we then let her know about an allergy. She went to go ask the kitchen about what items can be suggested for that allergy (dairy), she came back and the only items were 2 salads they didn’t have anything else. We then ordered, 50 MINUTES later we still haven’t gotten our food, we haven’t been checked on and haven’t even gotten any drink refills. Food comes out, and looked okay but nothing special (I’ve seen better at pubs) I had the salmon Cobb salad and the avocados we hard no where near ripe, the hard boiled eggs had shells on them, half of the lettuce was bad, salmon was very flavourless and dry. The service was absolutely terrible, and the place was ridiculously loud with screaming adults from table to table and kids in and out and trying to talk over the adults. Let’s just say we will never return and for good reasons!
