After I finished at We-Ko-Pa (Cholla) on my day trip out to Arizona last week, I worked my way over to my second destination for the day. I did stop for a quick lunch at Silver Mine Subs, which just happened to catch my eye along the drive between courses. It turned out to be... Continue Reading →
Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of visiting We-Ko-Pa Golf Club for the first time and playing the Saguaro Course. On most major course ranking sites and in golf magazines, it is typically rated as one of the top public courses in the state of Arizona. Usually not too far down the list is... Continue Reading →
The final stop on my quick Arizona trip last week was at We-Ko-Pa Golf Club in Fort McDowell. Like Troon North on my first day, this would represent another top-rated bucket list course for me. On any "best in state" list, you can find We-Ko-Pa's Saguaro Course at or near the very top. The other course,... Continue Reading →
It's rare that a centerpiece round of one of my road trips is a short course (especially a trip with peak season rounds at Troon North and We-Ko-Pa). However, a visit to Mountain Shadows Resort in Paradise Valley was the main reason for me hitting the road last week. I've shared many unique golf experiences... Continue Reading →
What started as a day trip out to Arizona turned into a two-day visit after some offers I could not refuse. With a round at Troon North being lined up for Thursday morning, I needed something for the afternoon. The plans came together fairly last minute, so I looked around all the booking sites and...

After about two full months off of golf travel (I played a couple casual rounds locally earlier this month), I was finally back on the road for a quick two-day trip to the Phoenix-Scottsdale area which I love. There is certainly no shortage of amazing golf here. The main reason for my trip will be... Continue Reading →
Obviously, the content has been a little light lately. I haven't been playing as much, but I should have some new course reviews coming with some holiday travel in the near future. Yesterday afternoon, I did get out and play some golf at Eagle Falls Golf Course in Indio. It was only my second time... Continue Reading →
This week, I made a quick trip up to Southern Nevada. It's kind of become an annual tradition to go up to Vegas (sometimes Mesquite) in early November. One of my golf buddies usually plans it, but he wasn't able to make it this year. However, I was invited to play a comp round at... Continue Reading →
Exactly seven years ago today, a friend and I drove out to the Coachella Valley for a quick overnight golf trip that found us playing a whopping two courses before heading home. We played the South Course at The Golf Club at Terra Lago one day and then the Dunes Course at La Quinta Resort... Continue Reading →
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 →
