Meijer, and the LPGA wanted to make this event a real "happening" and a total experience for all the fans. Thus, enter The Grand Taste.

Between hole 11 and 16, they have literally built a city of food and beverage, along with spectacular views of the course and players. Open Friday through Sunday, it is a three day tasting event. Tickets start at just $25 for adults and $5 for kids 17 and under. The experience includes local restaurants and breweries as well as Meijer – Meijer is doing a lot of great stuff – you really don’t want to miss it.

You'll find Founders, Bell’s, Arcaida, Brewery Vivant, Perrin Jolly Pumpkin … some of the restaurants include: Divani, Ruth’s Chris Steakhouse, Honey Creek Inn Fish Lads, The Reserve, Blue Dog Tavern & Yesterdog … just to name a few. One last thing, it's air conditioned! With huge air conditioning unites brought in, they're able to cool the Grand Taste even while it's open-air to the course.
