Solid breakfast spot in a nice setting where you can watch golfers tee off from an outside table...I usually get the chorizo scramble...pretty good. Service here is almost always spot on.

Jim's On The Course is one popular restaurant. We came on a Sunday for a late breakfast/early lunch, and their tables were filled with customers both outdoors and indoors. We were fortunate to wait for only 10 minutes before a table became available for our family of seven. Service became much slower after that. They appeared to be understaffed. Maybe some employees called in sick or something. I was okay with the wait because I had actually eaten something earlier in the morning. Some other members of the family were a bit restless though. I also enjoyed watching the football game that was showing on the big screen tv. Took almost an hour after we were seated to get served our food. I had Jim's Breakfast Sandwich with Hash Browns. Just remembered that it was supposed to come with toast. They did not bring me any. Oh well. The sandwich and hash browns did taste good at least. Although service was slow, our family still had a good time. I'm sure we will be back from time to time.

I've been to Jim's many times over the years and have never had a bad meal. Recently I came here for lunch and ordered the Grilled Chicken Tostada for the first time. I've had the Greek Salad and the Cobb Salad before with my go to being the Chef's Salad. The Grilled Chicken Tostada was good, fresh and crisp. Also satisfying my craving for Mexican food LOL. Overall I have to say I really like all of the salads here. Always fresh and very plentiful they're a good "healthy" option. Staff are friendly, restaurant is clean and the view overlooking the golf course is so relaxing.

Midweek lunch. Place is packed. Ate ate the bar inside. Had the most delicious Turkey club sandwich with a cup of fruit instead of fries. My friend had the chicken chicken melt and she ate the whole thing it was so good. Always consistent good food. Great service.

This place did an amazing job for Mother's Day brunch when it was super crowded after the Mother's Day race that ended on the golf course. I would come back - very kid-friendly and nice people.

I can't say enough good things about Jim's. The ambience of eating while overlooking the golf course is beautiful and relaxing. The food was delicious. I had the grilled chicken blt. Yum!!!! The bun was perfect, the chicken cooked to perfection and who doesn't love bacon?! Can't wait to go back. The bar inside is also beautiful.

We go to Jims on the Course because of the overall vibe. We live closer to Jims on Park Street but there's just something about the location that is preferable - maybe you just have to experience it for yourself (゚ヮ゚) The menu is the same as Jims on Park Street, at least from the birds eye view, and quality is the same IMO. Dependent on the day and time you go, parking can be either plentiful or scarce...at least close parking. With the golf course right there, it can get crackin.

Date: 3/9/2024 Time: 10:15 AM 56° Partly cloudy On the second Saturday of each month, a group of us ladies come here for breakfast. Last month it was Chinese New Year, so I was not able to be there for the get together. Compared to my review of last year, I decided to order something else on the menu. Jim's super burrito was okay. I wasn't pleased with the Arnold Palmer. It was more like iced tea. However, yesterday I had their chicken fried steak with country gravy, eggs (soft scrambled), freshly grated hash brown potatoes and toast. My beverage was an Arnold Palmer. All right! Breakfast and beverage were much better. The chicken fried steak was moist and not salty. With the country gravy, it was indeed on point. My soft scrambled eggs were perfect, just the way I like it. The portion of food was generous such that I could only eat half of it. The other half was leftover for dinner. As usual, service is very good. The waitstaff know we ladies are there on the second Saturday for breakfast. They are friendly, helpful and extremely patient with us. I can be fickle at times, not knowing what I feel like having for breakfast. However, since that chicken fried steak was delicious, I know exactly what I am having next month.

It was a little hard to find the restaurant since the over grown trees hid the sign, but we managed to find it. A hidden gem inside this golf course. Staff are so friendly & happy to take time for my very social father. I even got a chance to take a photo with Demitius, the manager & grandson of Jim's on the Course. Everyone is so engaged & personable, that this is the perfect restaurant for my father. Orders: California Club sandwich $17.99 comprises of a triple decker w/sliced Turkey breast, thick bacon, sliced avocado, crisp lettuce & sliced tomato. For the side, I decided on minestrone soup. Soup was nice and hearty & had plenty of vegetables, great flavor as well. This sandwich brought back memories of having a classic & very filling sandwich with quality ingredients. A definite item to order at Jim's. Reuben- corn beef on rye with melted Swiss & sauerkraut. I decided on ordering fries as a side. Nice thin slices of meat with a perfectly melted Swiss cheese. The meat was not chewy or marbled so it was easy to bite through it & enjoy all the flavors this sandwich has to offer. A great place to stop by if you enjoy golfing or just want some good old fashioned conversation & food.
