The final stops of my Christmas trip were in the North Bay Area (Wine Country, if you will) last Thursday morning before heading the rest of the way home that night. I was continuing my north-to-south checklist along Highway 101, visiting the remaining public courses on my list in geographic order. I stayed the night... Continue Reading →
After Deer Ridge and Lone Tree on Wednesday, we continued to roll along the Delta for a third round in the afternoon. Our first rounds went quickly and we had plenty of time to squeeze in at least one more... Diablo Creek Golf Course • Concord, CA • 2/21/18 Their tee time prices go down... Continue Reading →
Monday’s round at Lake Merced Golf Club was the main reason for this most recent little trip to the Bay Area. It’s one I’ve been looking forward to for awhile. The NCGA has outings here every year and it is always their most popular event. In recent years, they’ve done two outings each year and... Continue Reading →
Friday of my recent Northern California trip was very interesting because it took me from the coastal region of the North Bay Area all the way out near Sacramento. I played three courses, and each one couldn’t be more different than the last. The day started with a visit to an old favorite… The Links... Continue Reading →
Well, I’ve danced around this round, but my visit to California Golf Club of San Francisco was the centerpiece of my Bay Area trip last week. In fact, it was kind of right in the middle of the trip, which is why I didn’t want the review to get lost in the shuffle. This is... Continue Reading →
Wednesday was my final day in the Bay Area. One of my big objectives for this trip was to play the handful of public courses I had left in and around San Francisco. There are some courses that are further south on the peninsula that I still need to play, but I considered my main... Continue Reading →
I’ve played some really junky low-level courses in recent weeks as I work through my ‘replay” list of local courses that haven’t yet been reviewed on the site. However, those are mostly just inexpensive filler in between the more meaningful rounds. As spring and summer approach, I should have more opportunities to play private clubs... Continue Reading →
First of all, Merry Christmas to everyone! I’m back up in Northern California for the extended holiday weekend with some family. We’re staying in “lovely” Corning again like last year. But unlike last year, I should get more golf in. The forecast this week calls for mostly sunny skies the whole time I’m here. Last... Continue Reading →
I’ve been a little tight-lipped on this one, so I purposely didn’t hype this trip up too much in advance like I normally would. Part of it was still slight disbelief that I was actually going to get to play here. On top of that, I didn’t want to jinx anything. Bad weather, road trip... Continue Reading →
Part 3 of this journey took me from Seattle/Tacoma, WA and ultimately led me back home to Orange, CA: Luckily, after my hellish run through Vancouver and into Seattle, I had a bit of time to relax the next morning. I stayed across the lake in Kirkland, but I got some much-needed sleep after such... Continue Reading →
