On Sunday and Monday, we were up early and ready to get our warm-up rounds in. Not a lot of set up here, so let's just go ahead and get started... Northstar California Resort • Truckee, CA • 6/17/18 This is one of those I'm not exactly sure how to label. I've seen it referred... Continue Reading →
Short Course Blitz: The Many Sides of Tahoe
You knew this would be coming. When I say I played 19 rounds over the course of six days, you have to assume there would be at least a few short courses involved. Actually, I played five of them—four of which will be reviewed in this post. The first short course visit took place in... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Edgewood Tahoe
For my first golf trip to Lake Tahoe, I was very happy with the result. Though I still have plenty more left to play on future visits, I was able to knock down several top-shelf courses that have been on my bucket list for years. None was higher on that list for the region than... Continue Reading →
Where the Nevada Winds Blow
Part 2 of my Tahoe golf adventure takes me to the Nevada side of the border, with two late afternoon rounds on Friday and Saturday respectively. From here on out, I may not post the reviews exactly in order, but they are split up and grouped the best I can see fit. Let's get right... Continue Reading →
Breaking the Seal on Tahoe
I just returned home from a whirlwind 6-day golf adventure. Needless to say, I have a lot of reviews to get caught up on and this will be the first of 10 articles that will come out of this one crazy road trip! I ended up playing 19 different courses (17 of them new to... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Mountain View Country Club at La Quinta

This is another private club that doesn't get a ton of attention in the Coachella Valley golf scene, but it's another one I was glad I... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Andalusia Country Club
On Thursday, I attended the SCGA member outing at Andalusia Country Club. It is also known as Andalusia at Coral Mountain, which is the name of the high-end residential community in which the course/club is situated. This was the first stop on the SCGA's annual Bob Hope Trail, though it was the only round I... Continue Reading →
The Bullhead Blitz
The final day of my recent trip took me from Las Vegas down to Bullhead City, AZ (just across the river from Laughlin). As I march toward 1,000 courses played, this was a semi-convenient side trip that would allow me to pad the course count a bit. There were a few short courses for me... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Las Vegas Country Club
On Thursday afternoon, I played what was the centerpiece round for my trip. I was able to arrange an invite to play The Las Vegas Country Club and I was excited to check out this piece of local history. I brought some friends along with me and we had a full foursome that teed off... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Red Rock Country Club
My venture out to Pahrump on Wednesday morning was just a basic warm-up and a checklist stop. The real point of the day was getting to play at Red Rock Country Club in the afternoon. Many people are familiar with Arroyo Golf Club at Red Rock, which is the public course here that I have... Continue Reading →
