Nic and Deven Lapienski, who bought Alpine in 2023, are no strangers to the golf scene—they also own Arrowhead Golf Club in Caro and North Kent Golf Course in Rockford. Over the past couple of years, they’ve been working to elevate Alpine with the goal of “bringing country club amenities to the public golf course sector,” Nic told WZZM-13.

As Nic puts it, the mission is to bring “scratch-made local flavor right back into the community where it’s been missing on this side of Alpine.” A menu hasn't been shared online yet, but check back for it on the golf course's website.

Par and Plate is open for lunch and dinner, Monday through Saturday, from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Whether you’re golfing or just hungry, it might be worth a visit.
