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: San Diego Country Club
Actually, I played three rounds the other day (yes, I am aware I have a problem), but I am splitting up the reviews a little differently this time.

Somehow, Lakewood has avoided me all these years. Well, I finally had the perfect... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Brookside Golf Club (E.O. Nay Course #2)
I had been to Brookside Golf Club once before. I can remember it well, because it was one of the most miserable golf experiences of my life. A friend and I went out there in the dead of summer to play the #1 course (now named after C.W. Koiner, whoever that is). It was a... Continue Reading →
