Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of visiting We-Ko-Pa Golf Club for the first time and playing the Saguaro Course. On most major course ranking sites and in golf magazines, it is typically rated as one of the top public courses in the state of Arizona. Usually not too far down the list is... Continue Reading →
Obviously, the content has been a little light lately. I haven't been playing as much, but I should have some new course reviews coming with some holiday travel in the near future. Yesterday afternoon, I did get out and play some golf at Eagle Falls Golf Course in Indio. It was only my second time... Continue Reading →
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 →
If all goes as planned (knocking on wood as I write), I will be playing my 1,000th golf course on Tuesday, July 17. It will be somewhere pretty special, so stay tuned. With that milestone in mind, I need to stay on pace with my new course count so that everything times out correctly with... Continue Reading →
After finishing the SCGA outing at Andalusia last Thursday, my golf day wasn't over. I had also arranged for a round at 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 →
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 →
Yesterday afternoon, I finally made it out to the renovated version of SilverRock in La Quinta. After being reduced to a 9-hole course for some time, the full course reopened last fall and revealed its new back nine configuration. I know the renovation was mainly done to make room for the eventual resort that will... Continue Reading →
Note: This course is now (very sadly) closed. On Saturday, I made my way down to San Diego to visit Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club. This is a course I had only played once before and it was long before this blog. I was looking forward to revisiting it and finally writing an official review.... Continue Reading →
After my warm-up round at The Duke at Rancho El Dorado, I headed a few miles down the road to Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club. Whereas The Duke is pretty much right in the small town of Maricopa, Ak-Chin Southern Dunes is much more isolated with no homes or signs of civilization around the course.... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I took another quick day trip out to Arizona. It was kind of a last-minute plan. I knew my power company had a scheduled outage in my neighborhood that was lasting most of the day. Rather than sit at home in the dark and not getting any real work done, I figured I'd use... Continue Reading →
