I recently returned from another very productive Northern California trip, which kind of evolved into what will likely be my final "big" golf vacation this year. We shall see. This trip saw me returning to the greater Lake Tahoe region, where I played a few more courses on the California side (the northwestern side). The... 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 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 →
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 →
One of my primary goals of this most recent trip to the Bay Area was to check off as much of my remaining East Bay public list as I could. Ultimately, I played 12 new courses over four days and half of them were short courses. Guess what that means? It's Short Course Blitz time!... Continue Reading →
It's rare that a centerpiece round of one of my road trips is a short course (especially a trip with peak season rounds at Troon North and We-Ko-Pa). However, a visit to Mountain Shadows Resort in Paradise Valley was the main reason for me hitting the road last week. I've shared many unique golf experiences... Continue Reading →
I just got back from another 3-day trip up to Northern California. Normally, I bounce around a lot between the different regions up there, but this time the whole trip was centered around the South Bay/San Jose/Silicon Valley/Santa Clara County area (or whatever you prefer to call it). Let's start the reviews off with a... Continue Reading →
For my fellow children of the 80s, that song should probably be stuck in your head already. Even though I got some nice weather days, I only ended up playing one round while I was visiting with family in Crescent City. The timing and opportunities just didn't work out. Unfortunately, Del Norte GC is currently... Continue Reading →
With so much golf around St. George, it's a bit surprising that the area really doesn't have that many short courses. And, two of them are actually at the same facility! And, one of those barely counts as a golf course! The good news is that a lack in quantity does not mean a lack... 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 →
