First time here on this course @tildenparkgolf and that to an 18 hole course. I was hit two times and I was done.... ended up being a spectator for the rest of the course. I've got some work to do on the driving range. 😅
The grounds were lush, green, and hilly. Food was good, I loved thier garlic parm fries.
The person we paired up with was also friendly which made the first time on the course even better.
One major downside was that this took us 6.5 hours to finish because it was backed up. 🥲 It was way too long, especially as a spectator. I need more snacks. lol
Overall, I need a chill course to go check out, but definitely not for beginners like me. 🫠
HAVE YOU BEEN TO THIS HIDDEN GEM BRUNCH SPOT?😍☕️ This is one of my favorite places for weekend brunch and it makes it 10x cooler that it’s inside a museum! For more Bay Area food recs, follow along @felicitythefoodie !

If you’re looking for one of the most unique and flavorful brunches in the Bay, you need to make sure @kopibar.us is on your list! This hidden gem on the second floor of BAMPFA is serving up Indonesian-inspired brunch in a cozy museum setting. They’re also hosting Mother’s Day Brunch so of you still need a spot to take Mom, this is the one!!😌

Almost everything on the menu is made in house! From the buttery, melt-in-your mouth biscuits to the creative pastries like their pandan coconut roll. Chef Nora’s ability to infuse so much flavor and love into every bite is what makes this brunch experience one-of-a-kind! Plus, where else can you find shrimp laksa grits and creamy Kopi Avocado for breakfast?! I love the celebration of culture and heritage here and the way it shines through in this menu is truly a work of art.
