With Labor Day weekend representing the unofficial end of summer, I figured I’d go and enjoy one of my favorite summer treats—cheap golf in Coachella Valley! Woodhaven Country Club • Palm Desert, CA • 8/31/13 I got an early start as always, but not as early as usual for me. I booked a 7:30 time... Continue Reading →
A Little Fog. A Lot of Fun.
Sunday, I ventured up the coast a little bit for some golf and good times. The LA Golf Group I belong to was having an afternoon outing at Olivas Links in Ventura (the group’s unofficial “home” course). I’ve reviewed that course a few times in the past couple of years, so I won’t spend too... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Pala Mesa Golf Resort
A friend and I played out here this morning. With the combination of an ezlinks.com tee time and a Groupon discount, we were able to get out for less than $30 a piece. It was a really good deal for a 6:45 Saturday tee time. We teed off right about on time and it wasn’t... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Woods Valley Golf Club
I ended up down in the San Diego area again this morning, even though the traffic coming back is always brutal. San Clemente is always one big parking lot on Sunday afternoons and it’s never fun, but sometimes you have to make that sacrifice for good golf. The reason I went to Woods Valley is...

Course Review: The Montebello Country Club
Not as fancy as it sounds. With the PGA Championship on this weekend, I wanted to get out for an early round today and I didn’t want to have to drive too far from home. There’s a handful of LA County courses left on my list, so I figured today would be a good chance... Continue Reading →
Birthday Bonanza 2013!
Last year, I made the most of my birthday with three free rounds up in Ventura County. This year, I kept things a little closer to home…well, kind of. My Wednesday started with a visit to an Orange County course with one of the best birthday deals around. Tustin Ranch Golf Club • Tustin, CA •... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Maderas Golf Club
2013 has been a productive year for me when it comes to playing some of San Diego County’s more expensive courses. When I first made my full wish list, I figured it would take awhile to chip away at all the high-end options down there, but I’ve been able to take advantage of a few... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Industry Hills Golf Club (Zaharias)
Technically, the full name nowadays is Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms, but you get the idea. The name “Industry Hills” is all you really need to know when talking about these two highly regarded courses. They are running a special right now on the Zaharias course. Through the end of August, you can... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Costa Mesa Country Club (Los Lagos)
It’s been several years since I played this course. I used to play it a lot back in the day. I worked right down the street, so some co-workers and I would go out at least once a month to play on a Friday afternoon. I still go out to Costa Mesa once or twice... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Whittier Narrows Golf Course
Today was a more eventful day as I played Malibu Golf Club with the Greenskeeper.org crew, but I will post that story tomorrow so stay tuned… I wanted to get caught up on the round I played Friday at Whittier Narrows Golf Course in Rosemead. Though not the most exciting round I’ll ever play, I... Continue Reading →
