Time to get caught up after another busy weekend full of golf. Saturday found me playing another double-dip, this time north of LA in the Simi Valley area. The day started nice and early… Simi Hills Golf Course • Simi Valley, CA • 10/26/13 I needed to get out here early and took the gamble... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Alhambra Golf Course
I enjoyed a nice relaxing afternoon round here today. For a number of reasons, this was a great course for me to play. First, it was cheap. I saw a GolfNow “hot deal” at 12:58 for only $19, so I snatched it up. Second, it’s not known for being the most difficult course around. After... Continue Reading →
Enjoying Some of Santa Barbara County’s Best Golf
The Santa Barbara area is known for many things, and local golfers know it as a hotbed of quality courses. There’s not much in terms of quantity, but the quality is undeniable. I had the opportunity to play two of the area’s best courses yesterday on a picture perfect day. The Ranch Course at The... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Wilson Golf Course
After playing the Harding course in Griffith Park a couple weeks ago, I was eager to come back and play Wilson, which is generally regarded as the better of the two. I made it a priority to play there this past weekend because I knew the course was getting ready to aerate the greens this... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Mountain Vista Golf Club (San Gorgonio)
Even though I was just out in the desert last weekend, I couldn’t resist coming back for another visit while there are still a few good deals to be found. Many courses out in the Coachella Valley are closed right now for overseeding, but the few that are open offer some appealing prices if you... Continue Reading →
Arizona Golf Weekend, Day 2: Contrast in the Desert
I told you all about the warm-up round on the drive out to Arizona and then the fun outing at Sun City West before heading back home. But as far as golf went, Saturday was really the marquee day with the two courses we were most looking forward to on the trip... SunRidge Canyon Golf... Continue Reading →
Arizona Weekend, Days 1 & 3: The Beginning and End
After getting back from a little weekend road trip to Arizona late last night, it’s time to start getting caught up on all my reviews and photos. I was trying to decide how to break up the trip into a couple of posts. Normally, I’d go chronologically, but I decided to start with the beginning... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Harding Golf Course
I teed it up here on Sunday. I’m not sure how it came to this, but in all my years of playing golf in Southern California I had never played either of the main Griffith Park courses (there is also a 9-hole course, Roosevelt, located in a different section of the park). I knew they... Continue Reading →
Unfinished Business and Close Calls
Believe it or not, it was another busy golf weekend for me. The weather has been so beautiful here in Southern California I could not stay away. I played two rounds on Saturday, which I’ll review here, and one round on Sunday, which I’ll review later this week. The main event for Saturday was another... Continue Reading →
More Fun in Sunny San Diego
I told you all about my visit to San Diego Country Club the other day. That round was certainly the “main event” for that day of golf. But as you’ve come to expect from me, it definitely wasn’t the only golf I played that day. In fact, I played two additional rounds—one before and one... Continue Reading →
