Day 1, round 2: Moose Run’s other course, Hill. Not as nice but still scenic.
First stop on my Alaska adventure is Moose Run’s Creek Course. Solid layout with some beautiful scenery.
Course Review: Tijeras Creek Golf Club
I played out here mid-week after work. The main excuse to get out was for my first-round match in the GK Cup match play tournament for Greenskeeper.org. With the OB Sports discount card I recently won in a raffle at a GK event, I was able to get my partner and I a good rate... Continue Reading →
Central Valley Golf Adventure, Part 2: Taking Major Steps Upward
Friday was a long day with three rounds and warm weather on two pretty good courses (Tierra del Sol and Horse Thief) and one terrible course (Sycamore Canyon). Saturday and Sunday would prove to be much more eventful and fulfilling as I played two much, much nicer Central Valley courses. It started in Bakersfield on... Continue Reading →
Central Valley Adventure, Part 1: A Tour of Obscure Kern County Courses
When I made my personal “to do” list of regulation 18-hole courses in Southern California, I included Kern County even though I’ve never played golf there before and really have never had much desire to. However, it made sense with the geographic line I drew to include it along with San Luis Obispo County. Plus,... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Vellano Country Club
Note: This course is now closed. Though I had no plans to play golf Sunday, I found myself a bit antsy in the morning. Also, I’ve had a growing curiosity about this course in Chino Hills that recently opened for public play. This once private club is now open to the public all day on... Continue Reading →
If You Can’t Beat the Heat, Join It!
I enjoyed a nice day out in the Coachella Valley yesterday, even though it was quite hot. With temperatures well over 100 degrees in the afternoon, I knew it would be brutal. However, I also know that with the heat in the desert comes reduced prices and less crowds. Also, most courses are still in... Continue Reading →
Memorial Weekend in Arizona, Part 3…
After a long drive home yesterday, I definitely didn’t have enough energy to write a post last night. I expected some traffic coming home on Memorial Day and I got it, but it wasn’t in an area where I expected it. The I-10 between Palm Springs and Banning was a parking lot and I’m still...

Memorial Weekend in Arizona, Part 2…
Another day in the desert. Two more great golf courses! After 36 holes under the not-nearly-as-hot-as-expected-but-still-fairly-toasty Arizona sun yesterday, I was ready to tee it up again bright and early this morning. Gainey Ranch Golf Club • Scottsdale, AZ • 5/26/13 I got invited to come out and play this exclusive course today along with... Continue Reading →
Memorial Weekend in Arizona, Part 1…
I’m spending this Memorial Day weekend in the Phoenix area. I don’t know how much I’ll be able to keep up with the blog while on the road, but I’ve got some time in my hotel room to try and catch up tonight. I actually hit the road yesterday afternoon on my way to Arizona,... Continue Reading →
