As I mentioned in earlier reviews from this trip, I had one private club a day lined up for three days in a row. That made it pretty easy to plan the rest of the trip around. I started with Woodbridge on Sunday and then played Brookside on Monday. Tuesday's main round was at Rancho... Continue Reading →
Good News and Bad News in Amador County
A big goal on my recent Northern California trip was to take care of some outlying courses that were still on my list, but somewhat geographically inconvenient. Sunday and Monday were spent south of Sacramento in the Stockton/Lodi area. On Wednesday, I went out to Calaveras County with my friend. On Tuesday, I was on... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Brookside Country Club
My main round last Monday was at Brookside Country Club in Stockton. At the beginning of the year when the NCGA Member Outing schedule came out, this is one that my friend and I targeted. It was one of the less expensive outings at $80. In addition, the timing of it was nice in early... Continue Reading →
Bonus Rounds and Pleasant Surprises
Monday turned out to be the busiest day of my recent Northern California trip. I ended up playing 63 holes from sunrise to sunset. The day began at Dry Creek Ranch, and then the main round was slated for 11:00 at the private Brookside Country Club in an NCGA member outing. I will review that... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Woodbridge Golf & Country Club
This latest trip up north resulted in rounds a three different private clubs on three consecutive days, so it was nice having a marquee round to plan each day around. My friend was able to line up a round here at Woodbridge Golf & CC through Boxgroove. Woodbridge is located just north of Lodi and... Continue Reading →
Stuck in Lodi, Again
I don't remember the last time I took basically a full month away from golf, but it was a good break for me. I was able to make some headway on updating all the older posts and links throughout the site, though I still have a ton of work left. Anyway, I did just return... Continue Reading →
From One Sun City to Another
The final day of my recent trip to the Phoenix area found me on the west side of town before I headed home Saturday evening. One of the main stops on the trip was the biggest group outing lined up for greenskeeper.org at Grandview Golf Course in the Sun City West community. Again, this is... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Boulders Golf Club (North Course)
The main round for Friday was at The Boulders Golf Club in Carefree, AZ. We were there representing greenskeeper.org and they were very generous to offer us a $30 rate for two tee times starting at 10:00. We ended up only having five players, which was surprising considering this was such a great deal. Tee... Continue Reading →
The North Scottsdale Trail
The first day of my recent Arizona trip found me playing 36 holes. I played Desert Mountain (Cochise) in the morning and then played an afternoon round at Quintero Golf Club with a group from greenskeeper.org. I had already played Quintero before, so I am not going to it review it again this time around.... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Desert Mountain Club (Cochise)
Last week, I took a 3-day trip out to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. I always like any excuse to visit Arizona for golf, so I end up out that way a few times a year. This was more of a social trip centered around a few rounds with folks with fellow greenskeeper.org members, so it wasn't... Continue Reading →
