Yesterday, I took a break from playing and decided to go watch some of the best golfers in the world in action at The Riviera Country Club. This was my first time attending the Northern Trust Open—or any PGA Tour event for that matter. I did go to the LPGA Kia Classic a few years... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Redlands Country Club
I’ve played some really junky low-level courses in recent weeks as I work through my ‘replay” list of local courses that haven’t yet been reviewed on the site. However, those are mostly just inexpensive filler in between the more meaningful rounds. As spring and summer approach, I should have more opportunities to play private clubs... Continue Reading →
Can you recommend a couple nice, pretty, challenging courses in a Palm Springs that aren’t going to break the bank? My traveling partners and I are members at The Farms in San Diego, so we are used to a challenging track. Looking for a challenging course that’s in great condition. Thx!!!
There’s so much good golf out there, it’s almost hard to go wrong. This time of year, everything should be in excellent shape. At the same time, you’ll get peak season prices. Since The Farms has Pete Dye roots, you can obviously attempt PGA West Stadium for a super challenge. The Nicklaus course there is... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Fallbrook Golf Club
On Saturday, a friend and I made our way down to Fallbrook. The late morning traffic was pretty miserable, but we made it just in time for our 12:30 tee time at Fallbrook Golf Club. Playing Fallbrook this weekend satisfied a couple of needs. First, it was on my “replay” list since I had never... Continue Reading →
Course Review: California Golf & Art Country Club
Note: Since I posted this review, the course changed its name back to Cherry Hills Golf Course. In a weird way, I’ve been having some fun revisiting some of these courses that I played long before the blog. However, there are a few “undesirables” on the list that I knew I would eventually have to... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Upland Hills Country Club
As I continue to slowly but surely work my way back through some of the local courses that I have never reviewed here, I am driven by deals. Fortunately, a majority of my list is lower-end tracks (a lot of county and muni courses), so I’m able to look for a really good price and... Continue Reading →
Course Review: San Dimas Canyon Golf Course
On Thursday, I took a most excellent adventure up to San Dimas (yes, the hometown of Bill & Ted) to play San Dimas Canyon Golf Course. This is a course I’ve always had a fondness for, though it has been several years since I last played there. As a LA County course, deals aren’t always... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Black Gold Golf Club
Yesterday, I stayed close to home for an afternoon round at Black Gold Golf Club in Yorba Linda. It’s a course I’ve been wanting to revisit and get a fresh experience. The only other time I played here was many years ago. I remember liking the course somewhat, but I didn’t love it. And, like... Continue Reading →
Course Review: La Cañada Flintridge Country Club
On Monday, I was able to add another Southern California private club to the list. I had signed up for a “member for a day” outing at La Cañada Flintridge Country Club through GolfSouthernCal.com. It was a 9:30 shotgun start and the rate was reasonable. Some friends and I signed up for $60 a player,... Continue Reading →
Back to Vegas, Part 2: Rounding Out the Trip
I featured both courses at The Revere Golf Club in the first part of my Vegas trip review. My friend and I played plenty of golf in between those two rounds, though, as well as one more before heading home Friday evening. On Thursday morning, we made our way up to North Las Vegas for...
