The final day of my recent trip to the Phoenix area found me on the west side of town before I headed home Saturday evening. One of the main stops on the trip was the biggest group outing lined up for greenskeeper.org at Grandview Golf Course in the Sun City West community. Again, this is... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Boulders Golf Club (North Course)
The main round for Friday was at The Boulders Golf Club in Carefree, AZ. We were there representing greenskeeper.org and they were very generous to offer us a $30 rate for two tee times starting at 10:00. We ended up only having five players, which was surprising considering this was such a great deal. Tee... Continue Reading →
The North Scottsdale Trail
The first day of my recent Arizona trip found me playing 36 holes. I played Desert Mountain (Cochise) in the morning and then played an afternoon round at Quintero Golf Club with a group from greenskeeper.org. I had already played Quintero before, so I am not going to it review it again this time around.... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Desert Mountain Club (Cochise)
Last week, I took a 3-day trip out to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. I always like any excuse to visit Arizona for golf, so I end up out that way a few times a year. This was more of a social trip centered around a few rounds with folks with fellow greenskeeper.org members, so it wasn't... Continue Reading →
Renovated Course Review: Torrey Pines North
Normally I try to take advantage of some free golf deals on my birthday. However, this year a friend invited me to join him at Torrey Pines. We have been talking about lining up a round here for awhile, so I decided that was a pretty nice way to spend part of my birthday. My... Continue Reading →
Too Much Time on My Hands
We've reached the end of my 3-day Southern Utah adventure. After marathon days on both Thursday and Friday of my trip, I was left with just one course in St. George that I hadn't played yet. It turns out, I saved one of the best surprises for last... Sunbrook Golf Club • St. George, UT... Continue Reading →
Under the St. George Sun
Before my recent trip to St. George, I had 11 potential courses on my checklist that I hadn't yet played. Before noon on the second day, I only had three left! Uncrowded courses, affordable rates and quick rounds made it easy to keep playing. Yet, the heat seemed to crank up an extra notch by... Continue Reading →
Highs and Lows in Southern Utah
After 72 holes of golf on Thursday (shortened a little by weather) in St. George, I was right back at it as early as possible on Friday morning. I ended up playing 90 holes on this day, yet was still done by 6:00. That just shows how empty most of these courses are in the... Continue Reading →
Short Course Blitz: Southern Utah
With so much golf around St. George, it's a bit surprising that the area really doesn't have that many short courses. And, two of them are actually at the same facility! And, one of those barely counts as a golf course! The good news is that a lack in quantity does not mean a lack... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Entrada at Snow Canyon Country Club
The big debate when planning my St. George trip was whether or not I wanted to splurge for a round at Entrada at Snow Canyon. This is widely considered one of the best—the best according to many—course in Southern Utah. However, it is technically a private club. The only way to get on here as... Continue Reading →
