As you may already know, the final countdown to 1,000 courses was in full effect on my most recent Northern California trip. On Sunday, I played one round at Baylands in Palo Alto (#996). On Monday, I had three rounds on tap. It was a specific plan to be sitting at #999 by the end of... Continue Reading →
Recently, I posted my review of the new South Course at Corica Park in the East Bay Area. Well, the South Bay has a new and improved course of its own. Baylands Golf Links also reopened very recently and has kind of a similar story. This used to be known as Palo Alto Golf Course.... Continue Reading →
Hooray! We finally made it through all six days of my epic Northern California/Nevada golf adventure from a few weeks ago—just in time for my next trip a week from now! After 4 days in the Tahoe/Reno area and another in Monterey, the final day of my trip took me to Alameda in the East... Continue Reading →
What a wacky six-day adventure it was a couple weeks ago, and I'm still getting caught up on reviews. My original plan was to spend three full days (maybe 3.5) the Tahoe/Truckee/Reno area. That blossomed into four full days at the last minute. Also, another opportunity came up to play in a special event in... Continue Reading →
The last round of the Lake Tahoe leg of my recent trip was also one of the best. After a slow, grueling round over at Montrêux, I wasn't sure if I had enough in me to play one more. However, when a course like Schaffer's Mill is out there, it's not hard to muster up... Continue Reading →
On a trip filled with marquee rounds, Montrêux was definitely one of the centerpieces. In all honesty, it was the main excuse for this trip. The NCGA comes out to Tahoe every year. They usually play Edgewood Tahoe and another club in the area. This year, they returned to Montrêux Golf & Country Club in Reno... Continue Reading →
Incline Village would present the main course(s) for the day on Sunday. As I mentioned in my previous posts, the weather forecast was ugly this day and that pretty much kept everyone away from the golf courses we played. This was especially true at Incline Village, which draws more of a resort crowd who are... Continue Reading →
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 →
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 →
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 →
