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 →
The final day of my recent trip took me from Las Vegas down to Bullhead City, AZ (just across the river from Laughlin). As I march toward 1,000 courses played, this was a semi-convenient side trip that would allow me to pad the course count a bit. There were a few short courses for me... Continue Reading →
After The Preserve review, I think we all need a little bit of a palate cleanser. That was such a special experience, it's time to come back down to earth before reviewing the last two really nice courses that I got to play on this recent trip to Northern California. That's right. It's time for... Continue Reading →
