Normally I try to take advantage of some free golf deals on my birthday. However, this year a friend invited me to join him at Torrey Pines. We have been talking about lining up a round here for awhile, so I decided that was a pretty nice way to spend part of my birthday. My... Continue Reading →
We've reached the end of my 3-day Southern Utah adventure. After marathon days on both Thursday and Friday of my trip, I was left with just one course in St. George that I hadn't played yet. It turns out, I saved one of the best surprises for last... Sunbrook Golf Club • St. George, UT... Continue Reading →
Before my recent trip to St. George, I had 11 potential courses on my checklist that I hadn't yet played. Before noon on the second day, I only had three left! Uncrowded courses, affordable rates and quick rounds made it easy to keep playing. Yet, the heat seemed to crank up an extra notch by... Continue Reading →
After 72 holes of golf on Thursday (shortened a little by weather) in St. George, I was right back at it as early as possible on Friday morning. I ended up playing 90 holes on this day, yet was still done by 6:00. That just shows how empty most of these courses are in the... Continue Reading →
With so much golf around St. George, it's a bit surprising that the area really doesn't have that many short courses. And, two of them are actually at the same facility! And, one of those barely counts as a golf course! The good news is that a lack in quantity does not mean a lack... Continue Reading →
The big debate when planning my St. George trip was whether or not I wanted to splurge for a round at Entrada at Snow Canyon. This is widely considered one of the best—the best according to many—course in Southern Utah. However, it is technically a private club. The only way to get on here as... Continue Reading →

I was looking at different destinations that were moderately affordable, reasonably close to drive to and packed with new courses for me to play. I was considering Flagstaff/Sedona, which is...

The finale of my most recent Northern California road trip was a grand one, indeed. In fact, it was such a good get that we had to add an extra day onto the trip and drive pretty far out of the way from San Francisco to Truckee. Then, we drove all the way back home... Continue Reading →
After my special 1K round at The Olympic Club on Tuesday, my trip wasn't quite over. We ended up tacking on one more day that required a sizable detour out to Truckee. You'll find out why in my next post. Let's just say we had something great lined up for the afternoon, and after my... Continue Reading →
After all the hype of the past few months, I finally made it to 1K. Yes, I reached the milestone of 1,000 different courses played on July 17, 2018. I always like to do something special whenever I reach every 100th course (and a few of the 50s, as well). Of course, I wanted to... Continue Reading →
