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 →
Short Course Blitz: Taking Care of the Stragglers
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 →
Short Course Blitz: The Redwood Road
Wow! What an incredibly fun four days up in Northern California. Just got home last night and have a lot to get caught up on since I played 13 new courses. Going to do my best to get everything written and posted, while also making sure to spread things out. I know I likely won't... Continue Reading →
Short Course Blitz: Gettin’ Busy in Yuma
If you read my review of Desert Hills Golf Course in Yuma, AZ, you saw that I mainly chose to take a day trip there to help pad my course count as I make my way toward 1,000 different courses played. Yuma was a good choice for this because nothing is too expensive and there... Continue Reading →
Holiday Trip 2017, Part 3: The Coastal Oregon Trail
As my holiday trip continued, I made my way down the beautiful Oregon Coast. This is one of my favorite places on earth and I’m getting pretty close to having played all the courses along this stretch. I was able to check a few more off the list on this visit and I will feature... Continue Reading →
Golfin’ on the Dock of Bay
I recently took another 3-day trip to the Bay Area, centered around an NCGA outing at historic Lake Merced Golf Club on Monday. A friend and I drove up together on Sunday morning and we were able to squeeze in plenty of golf before and after that round Monday—despite some limited daylight thanks to the... Continue Reading →
Norcal in September, Day 3: Sacramento Blitz
The third day of my recent Northern California golf trip turned out to be the busiest, as I ended up playing 63 holes in Sacramento. I visited two full regulation courses and three shorties, and I got started early as usual… Wildhawk Golf Club • Sacramento, CA • 9/18/17 A friend and I played the... Continue Reading →
Short Course Blitz: Hoppin’ Around the Desert
I moved out to the Coachella Valley in March and have been enjoying the local golf scene. I’ve already gotten somewhat used to the heat every day. I’ve been able to play some great private clubs. There have also been a few little short courses I’ve played, but haven’t posted about yet on this site.... Continue Reading →
A New Beginning in Norwalk
Last week, I had the opportunity to visit the new Don Knabe Golf Center & Junior Academy in Norwalk. It sits on the site of what was once a very run-down Norwalk Golf Center, which I was able to play a couple years back before they closed down for a major renovation. What a difference...

Going Back to (Northern) Cali, Part 2: Triple Contrast
Friday of my recent Northern California trip was very interesting because it took me from the coastal region of the North Bay Area all the way out near Sacramento. I played three courses, and each one couldn’t be more different than the last. The day started with a visit to an old favorite… The Links... Continue Reading →
