This Saturday, I made my way up to Moorpark to take care of a little “unfinished business.” I have only played here once before and there was one nine at this 27-hole complex that I didn’t get to experience last time.

Updated Course Review: Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms (Eisenhower Course)
This past Sunday, I paid a visit to one of my favorite local courses. Even though I had only played the Eisenhower course once before at Industry Hills—compared to three times visiting the Zaharias course—it left an indelible impression on me. It’s beautiful. It’s really challenging. And it’s a whole lot of fun.The fun was... Continue Reading →
2014 – A Year in Review: Keeping Up with the Joneses
2014 was another highly productive year for the Golf Nomad. In February, I completed my initial list of all the public, regulation 18-hole courses in Southern California. After that, I figured things would slow down significantly as I turned my focus to local private courses with limited access. I was able to play 23 new... Continue Reading →

Gulf Coast Trip, Day 2: Run Away!
I don’t have much to report today other than that I am safe and sound here in Birmingham, Alabama. I’m really glad I chose to play last night in Arkansas rather than this morning. I left early to try and beat the bad weather projected for the afternoon, but the rain came on much earlier... Continue Reading →
