As my reviews from this come to an end, I get to the best two courses I played on this particular visit to Northern California. One was Orinda Country Club, which I will review last because I played it last. The other was Napa Valley Country Club. The tease of playing this private club has... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned in my I-5 Short Course Blitz, I pretty much had a free afternoon by myself on Thursday after we finished at Wilcox Oaks. I went ahead and knocked out Glenn and Arbuckle because they made sense, but then I still had plenty of daylight before I headed to Napa that night. That... Continue Reading →
As you saw in my Wilcox Oaks review, I had taken a significant detour northward to play that round. With that tee time not until 8:00, my friends and I used the early morning to check the other course in Red Bluff off our lists... Oak Creek Golf Course • Red Bluff, CA • 6/20/19...

I already mentioned that I was a bit all over the place on this particular Northern California trip. That is nothing out of the ordinary for me. I was coordinating with some friends for the various private club rounds we played. Time and day limitations at certain clubs forced us to mix up our routing... Continue Reading →
As I mentioned in my North Bay Short Course Blitz, this was a unique trip that was mainly centered around rounds at four different private clubs in Northern California. Everything else was just checklist filler and playing it by ear, which is why I ended up playing so many short courses along the way. The... Continue Reading →
I spent another very busy three days in Northern California last week. In total, I ended up playing 11 new courses. It was an interesting mix this time as four of them were private clubs, one was a normal public 18 and six were 9-hole short courses. Obviously, I have a lot of reviews and... Continue Reading →
After I finished at We-Ko-Pa (Cholla) on my day trip out to Arizona last week, I worked my way over to my second destination for the day. I did stop for a quick lunch at Silver Mine Subs, which just happened to catch my eye along the drive between courses. It turned out to be... Continue Reading →
For the final review of my East Bay trip, I will look at the two courses at Las Positas Golf Course in Livermore. Here, they have the Signature 18 regulation course and the Links 9, which is a 9-hole par-3 course. Let's get right into it... Links 9 I had a 10:45 tee time on... Continue Reading →
The main reason for my most recent trip to the East Bay Area was because I was signed up for an NCGA member outing at TPC Stonebrae Country Club. This is one I've been looking forward to since I registered earlier this year. It was a noon shotgun start with a full field of 120... Continue Reading →
I'm going to jump around a little chronologically for this post just because of how things lined up for the different course reviews. If you read my Short Course Blitz, you can see how all over the place I was last week as I checked as many courses off my East Bay list as possible.... Continue Reading →
