Oh boy. I have a lot to get caught up on. I played a lot of golf four days in a row and all of the courses I played need reviews, so bear with me and check back every day or two for stories throughout the week. I headed up to the Central Valley again... Continue Reading →
Back to Vegas, Part 2: Rounding Out the Trip
I featured both courses at The Revere Golf Club in the first part of my Vegas trip review. My friend and I played plenty of golf in between those two rounds, though, as well as one more before heading home Friday evening. On Thursday morning, we made our way up to North Las Vegas for...

From Me to Yuma
This weekend goes to show what I’ll do in the name of finding new golf courses to play. Greenskeeper.org had an outing scheduled at Rams Hill Golf Club in Borrego Springs on Sunday afternoon (I’ll review that later this week). Unfortunately, I have played everything out there, so I had to expand my territory a... Continue Reading →
Short Course Blitz: Along the Redwood Coast
On Saturday, I began making the long journey home to Southern California. Naturally, I stopped for plenty of golf along the way because the weather was looking pretty good in Northern California. Saturday turned out to be a “play it by ear” kind of day and eventually became a Short Course Blitz. My initial plan... Continue Reading →
Short Course Blitz: The Bandon Less Traveled
While I’m in the general area for the holidays, I made it a point to visit Bandon and take care of a few odds and ends in this new golf mecca. I’ve played the four main courses at Bandon Dunes Resort in the past, but I came back to round out the short courses, as... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Rancho California RV Resort
I have a habit of playing somewhere super nice and exclusive (such as The Bridges at Rancho Santa Fe last weekend), and then following that up with something rather obscure and not quite as desirable. But that’s how life as a Golf Nomad goes. When you are on a quest to play as many courses... Continue Reading →
Short Course Blitz #17: In Search of Rare Collectibles
This is a busy golf week for me, but it’s been fun with a lot of diverse courses in play. I haven’t done a Short Course Blitz in a long while, and this article barely qualifies as one since I played these three courses on three separate days and they are located all over the... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Birch Hills Golf Course
With a number of Southern California courses closing in recent years due to the economy and/or the drought, it’s nice to see a handful of courses reopening after a long period of closure. Rams Hill did it in spectacular fashion and I believe Warner Springs Ranch is set to reopen any day now. The executive... Continue Reading →
Digging Deeper into Obscurity
This review is a little late because I accidentally left my camera (among other things) behind at Indian Palms last week and had to wait until this weekend to go and pick them up. It’s no surprise I was a bit forgetful after a very hot, yet fairly productive, day in the desert. The day started... Continue Reading →
Short Course Blitz #16: Obscure Desert Tracks and New Beginnings
It’s been awhile since I did a Short Course Blitz, mainly because I am almost out of short public courses to play in Southern California. I did have one little grouping left in the desert, but I was waiting on Hawk’s Landing to open up in order to make a full day of it. Well,... Continue Reading →
