In this post, we get specific. You’ll learn the hours, location, and daily lineup, then see how happy hour runs twice a day, 11 am to noon and 2 pm to 3 pm, with $5 well liquor, $6 draft beer, and $7 select appetizers. We’ll also break down Monday to Wednesday specials like $5 hot dogs and burgers, BOGO grab-and-go hot dogs, and cheaper wings.

The Grill at Ashwood: Hours, Location, and What It Serves

If you’re searching for golf course dining near you and don’t know the name yet, start here. The Grill at Ashwood is the on-site Bar & Grill at Ashwood Golf Course, a 27-hole layout just off Bear Valley Road in Apple Valley and minutes from Interstate 15. It’s reported to be open every day from 8 am to 3:30 pm, call ahead to confirm. That window covers the grill opening early to serve golfers before their first tee and continuing through lunch or early-afternoon service. The grill closes at 3:30 pm, and no dinner service is listed. One honest note: the course office phone line may run later than the kitchen, call 760-240-1800 to confirm. Don’t assume an evening meal is available.

The food here is American-style casual, the kind of golf course menu you’d expect. The menu covers American-style casual fare, confirm the current lineup when you call. This guide can tell you about weekday specials, happy hour, and drink deals, which are documented. It cannot answer full menu details, allergen information, or green fees. Call 760-240-1800 for those specifics. If you’re planning the golf side too, our complete guide to golfing in Apple Valley, CA at Ashwood is a good next stop.

Happy Hour Runs Twice a Day, and Both Windows Land Before Close

Both daily happy-hour windows, 11 am to noon and 2 to 3 pm, fall well before the grill’s close, so neither gets cut short by the end of service.

  1. 11 am to noon. This window suits a mid-morning break or an early lunch. No tee time required, just an easy stop just off Bear Valley Road.
  2. 2 pm to 3 pm. This one catches foursomes coming off an 8 am or 9 am tee time. It is the natural landing spot after a morning round.

The pricing is straightforward: $5 well liquor, $6 draft beer, and $7 select appetizers. The Happy Hour page is the place to confirm current details.

One practical timing note. The second window is only 60 minutes long. Order by 2:45 pm so the kitchen does not wrap before your food lands.

The $7 appetizer tier rotates, and the current lineup is not published. The specific apps change, so ask what is in the $7 tier that day when you order. Staff can answer that in seconds. From there, the weekday lineup takes over.

Monday to Wednesday: Hot Dogs, BOGO, and Cheaper Wings

Happy hour covers the daily drink deals. Monday through Wednesday add three food-forward specials, each aimed at a different group size.

  • Monday, “More for Your Money”: a $5 hot dog or burger plus a $1 fountain drink or coffee. That is roughly $6 for a full person’s lunch.
  • Tuesday, “Two for Tuesday”: buy one, get one free grab-and-go hot dogs when you purchase a beer pitcher. The grab-and-go framing is the point. These are built for eating between nines or carrying to the course, not for table service. This is the best value for two people sharing a pitcher.
  • Wednesday, “Wing Wednesday”: $2 off wings. As listed, there is no required pitcher, drink, or minimum purchase, which makes it the simplest deal of the week and the only wings discount midweek.

Read the pattern fast: Monday is the lowest total spend for one person, Tuesday suits two sharing a pitcher, and Wednesday is the wings day.

These specials run inside the grill window, so they are lunch and early-afternoon deals only. Call 760-240-1800 to confirm the day’s special is running before you drive over. First time visiting? Our local’s guide to dining at Ashwood explains what to expect.

Thursday to Sunday: Pitchers, Fireball, and the Weekend Meal Deals

Thursday through Sunday is when the deals get bigger, and in two cases, fully bundled.

Thursday: Thirsty Thursday at The Pitch & Chip. This one runs under the venue label The Pitch & Chip, so that’s what you’ll see on signage. Twelve dollars buys a beer pitcher plus chips and salsa. Note the structure: instead of discounting the drink alone, this deal bundles food with the pitcher, so one order covers both drinks and something to snack on.

Friday: Fired Up Friday. Five-dollar Fireball shots, and that’s the whole offer. This is a drink-led special with food sold separately. If Friday is your day, budget for a meal on top of the shots, since nothing in the listing pairs the two.

Saturday: Caddy Meal. Twenty dollars gets you a hot dog, a bag of chips, a fresh-baked cookie, your choice of draft beer or a non-alcoholic beverage, and an Ashwood souvenir. It’s the most itemized deal of the week and the best all-in option for a single golfer.

Sunday: Funday Sampler. Fifteen dollars covers pretzel bites, zucchini chips, wings, and street corn dip. Build this one for sharing, two to four people rather than one.

Saturday and Sunday are when the fully itemized meal packages land, which makes them the days to bring a foursome or non-golfing friends. You can see them listed on the Ashwood specials and events page.

Wings & Swings: What the $20 Event Actually Tells You

The weekday and weekend deals above run on a set rhythm. Wings & Swings does not, and that difference is the whole story.

The listing for $20 Wings & Swings describes it as a $20 event at the Bar & Grill. The listing shows a start date in late 2025, and the end date is left open. That is everything the listing confirms. It does not itemize what the $20 covers. No stated wing count, no mention of drinks, no described golf component. So do not read it as “twenty dollars gets you X wings plus a round,” because the page never says that. It also should not be treated as a confirmed current offer.

The open end date matters more than it looks. A listing with no set end date cannot be assumed to run on any particular day. You cannot plan a Tuesday around it just because Tuesday sounds right. Before you drive over, call 760-240-1800 or check the events page to confirm whether it is running and what the $20 includes.

One overlap worth asking about: Wednesday’s Wing Wednesday already takes $2 off wings. If both are live, ask which fits your group better. A flat $20 event and a straight discount reward different orders, and for a table sharing several plates, one may clearly beat the other.

That makes Wings & Swings a reason to call, not a promise. A minute on the phone settles the price, the contents, and the schedule, and you will know exactly what you are walking into.

What a Round Plus a Meal Actually Costs

Green fees are the one number Ashwood doesn’t publish. Don’t expect an estimate here. Book through the pro shop or the public tee-time page at ashwood-golf-course.book.teeitup.com, where rates load with your date and time. Treat that as separate from your food budget.

The food side is fully documented:

  • Monday: about $6 per person for the More for Your Money deal
  • Sunday: $15 for the sampler, best shared
  • Saturday: $20 per person all-in for the caddy meal, drink and souvenir included

Run it as a real visit. Two golfers on a Monday order a hot dog or burger plus a fountain drink each: roughly $12 in food. Add a $6 draft beer each during the 2 to 3 pm happy hour and the tab lands near $24, before green fees and tip.

Drink math, in one place:

  • Happy hour draft beer: $6
  • Happy hour well liquor: $5
  • Thursday pitcher with chips and salsa: $12
  • Friday Fireball shots: $5

Three combinations stand out. The lowest total spend is the Monday special paired with the 2 to 3 pm happy hour. The most food per dollar is the Sunday sampler, shared. The most complete single-person package is the Saturday caddy meal. Scan the full events calendar to confirm what’s running on your date.

Still deciding? The questions below cover what diners ask most.

Questions Diners Ask Before They Come In

Now that the round-plus-meal math is clear, here are the questions diners ask most before their first visit.

  1. Do I have to be a golfer to eat here? The grill is on-site at the course just off Bear Valley Road, call ahead to confirm whether walk-in diners are welcome without a tee time.
  2. When is happy hour and what does it cost? See the Happy Hour section above for full details.
  3. What is the cheapest thing on the menu? Monday’s “More for Your Money” special, as covered above. Roughly $6 total for a hot dog or burger with a drink.
  4. Is there dinner service? No dinner hours are listed, and the grill closes at 3:30 pm. As covered above, the office line may run later, call 760-240-1800 to confirm same-day hours and the current special.

How to Plan Your Visit

Now that you know the basics, here is how to turn them into an actual plan. Five quick steps:

  1. Pick your day by deal. Monday is your lowest food spend. Wednesday is for wings. Saturday and Sunday bring the fully bundled meal packages, as covered above. Match the day to your group.
  2. Time your arrival around happy hour. Aim for the 11 am to noon window or the 2 to 3 pm one. For the 2 to 3 pm window, aim to be seated by 2:45 pm.
  3. Call 760-240-1800 before you drive over. Specials rotate, so confirm the day’s deal, the reported 8 am to 3:30 pm hours, and whether Wings & Swings is running. A 30-second call saves a wasted trip.
  4. Book your round separately. Reserve tee times through the Ashwood booking page or the pro shop, and read what to know before you book a tee time so you pick the right nine. Green fees are separate from your food budget, so plan them as two line items.
  5. Eat before 3:30 pm. The grill closes at 3:30 pm daily. Plan a lunch or early-afternoon visit, not an evening meal.

That is the whole plan: pick the day, watch the clock, and call ahead. You will get the deal you came for and still make your tee time.

Conclusion

The Grill at Ashwood keeps things simple, a daily special, two short happy-hour windows, and a kitchen that closes at 3:30 pm. Pick your day, call ahead, and enjoy.
