The Importance of the 19th Hole

What is the 19th hole and why is it so important you ask? Well, after playing your standard round of golf, the most anticipated hole is the 19th! Why yes, you guessed right!

The restaurant at Gold Mountain is the ideal place for unwinding after a perfect day on the course.

With the grand patio overlooking the Olympic Course, it provides a picturesque backdrop to enjoy some of our delectable dishes and refreshing beverages.

This is the spot where golfers, diners and those who are just along for the ride gather.

The camaraderie and the laughter, of course socially distanced, bring us back to the joyful times, pre-COVID.

Whether you are just visiting us for an icy cold beverage or diving into one of our amazing menu items, we are here to make your visit memorable or at least fun!

Stone-Fired Pizza

Gold Mountain’s handcrafted Pizza’s are baked on 600 degree stone slates in our compact pizza ovens.

Because of the unique design of our ovens, it lets the heat surround your pizza, and infuses the stone-fired flavor into the crust.

Cooking the pizzas at such a high heat cooks them quickly, (just five minutes to be exact!) and helps expedite the order.

We use only premium cheese and products on the pizzas. Our dough is made fresh and proofed daily.

It is sweet and light in flavor. So whether you like a traditional combination pizza or the popular Taco Pizza, we have the perfect flavor for you.

Come on in and give one of our Stone-Fired Pizzas a try.

Experience Chef Jon’s Chorizo Explosion

gold-mountain-golf-club-chorizo-tacos

Chorizo is a gift from the gods.

The first time I ever tried it, it was a taste bud explosion of awesome!

I love chorizo and I am honestly baffled that more restaurants don’t jump on the bandwagon of amazing flavor.

The role of fat in sausage is to bring the spices to life.

Good chorizo shouldn’t be greasy, and Chef has mastered this in his kitchen.

I also have folks say “isn’t it spicy?” Now spice level is relative, but ours is surely no spicier than a traditional peppered American breakfast sausage.

Our chorizo bursts with flavors of BBQ spices which makes it extremely distinctive.

Marinated for over 24 hours, then ground in-house, Chef Jon had a desire to create a killer chorizo recipe for our stand out golf course menus.

I love the sweet/spicy combination of flavors that compliment both the lunch/dinner menu as well as our breakfast menu.

Wrap it in a tortilla with in-house “Mexican mulch”, make it a feast of nachos, or have the satisfaction of eating it with eggs and topping with cotija cheese and scratch Verde.

Whether you need a calorie boost to start your golf game off on the right foot, or you simply want a nice, hearty lunch or dinner meal after your round, our chorizo is sure to satisfy your taste buds!

Pork Hero Sandwich

The Hero Sandwich has a lot of history in the United States.

The ultimate question is, where did the Hero Sandwich originate?

There seems to be one story that stands out from all the others, and it leads to the assumption that the sandwich originated in Italy from Italian immigrants who brought the idea to our East coast in the early 19th century.

The Italian’s combined fresh salami, pepperoni, prosciutto, and Mortadella cured meats as the heart of the sandwich, while traditionally adding lettuce, tomato cured meats, and Provolone cheese to round it out.

American’s typically enjoy mayonnaise on their sandwich, while Italian’s substituted oil and vinegar as their main condiments.

In Boston, the Hero is known as a sub sandwich, or a submarine sadnwich, because of the shape of the bread.

In New Orleans, it is known as a Po’boy and has many meat and seafood variations.

But here at Gold Mountain, our Hero Sandwich has slow cooked pork roast that is dry marinated in our house spice rub.

Then topped with thinly sliced black forest ham, grilled pineapple rings, house-made pickled peppers, and our sweet and spicy hero barbecue sauce.

Ingredients are piled high on a fresh brioche bun and served with our house-cut French fries.

Trust us when we say, you’ll be telling your friends about this!

So no matter where you are eating your Hero Sandwich it will probably be a little different than the place before, but we have a feeling Gold Mountain’s is the one you will always remember!

Gold Mountain Taco Truck

We had the pleasure of showcasing our portable “Taco Truck” stand in August at our beautiful sister property, Kitsap Conference Center.

It was a picturesque day at the Bremerton Harborside Marina, with the sun shining and over 700 guests in attendance.

The fountains added the perfect backdrop to our booth.

Guests enjoyed many different local wineries as well as a few local breweries.

Live music from The Tones kept the vibe fun and exciting!

Almost every guest had one of our chorizo taco’s in hand as they made their way through the crowd.

Executive Chef Jon Forcier, prepped our spicy chorizo, cotija cheese, pickled peppers, onions and cilantro; enough to fulfill the demand of 1,000 tacos.

Cook, Chris Mitchell, along with Restaurant Supervisor, Jennifer Couch, fed the hungry guests for over four hours.

Taco Tuesdays at Gold Mountain

The line to our booth was never less than 15 guests deep.

Jennifer and I had a great time conversing with the lively crowd, inviting them to come try our street tacos, and handing out coupons for those who wanted to come join us outside of the festival.

The chatter over our “Taco Tuesday” promotion could be heard amongst the guests waiting in line, and was quite exciting to hear.

Every Tuesday from 11am to close we offer a rack of five chorizo street tacos for $8, as well as margaritas and bottled corona for just $3.

Golfers keep your eyes open for our Gold Mountain Taco Truck to be added as a menu option for on course food stations during golf tournaments in 2018!

Our robust menu is still an exciting feature here at Gold Mountain and we welcome all to come join us in our public restaurant seven days a week.

Thank you for being a part of our culinary excellence!
