For the final review of my East Bay trip, I will look at the two courses at Las Positas Golf Course in Livermore. Here, they have the Signature 18 regulation course and the Links 9, which is a 9-hole par-3 course. Let's get right into it... Links 9 I had a 10:45 tee time on... Continue Reading →
Course Review: TPC Stonebrae Country Club
The main reason for my most recent trip to the East Bay Area was because I was signed up for an NCGA member outing at TPC Stonebrae Country Club. This is one I've been looking forward to since I registered earlier this year. It was a noon shotgun start with a full field of 120... Continue Reading →
Scenery from Sunrise to Sunset
I'm going to jump around a little chronologically for this post just because of how things lined up for the different course reviews.

Bay Area Trip, Part 1: East Bay Seclusion
I recently returned from a quick 3-day trip (I guess 4 days if you count the drive up on Sunday night) to the Bay Area. When all the smoke cleared, I played 12 courses, including a number of short courses in between the main rounds. This will end up being a 5-part series to cover... Continue Reading →
