This last Northern California trip was a whirlwind three days with plenty of driving and a lot of golf during the longest days of the year. I have one more course to review, though, and I certainly saved the best for last. Orinda Country Club is something special in the East Bay Area. Like Marin... Continue Reading →
The main reason for my most recent trip to the East Bay Area was because I was signed up for an NCGA member outing at TPC Stonebrae Country Club. This is one I've been looking forward to since I registered earlier this year. It was a noon shotgun start with a full field of 120... Continue Reading →
I'm going to jump around a little chronologically for this post just because of how things lined up for the different course reviews.

One of my primary goals of this most recent trip to the Bay Area was to check off as much of my remaining East Bay public list as I could.

On Monday, I had three rounds on tap. It was a specific plan to be sitting at #999 by the end of... Continue Reading →

After a windy round at Delta View on Thursday morning, Day 2 of my Bay Area trip continued a bit further southwest in the city of San Ramon. The next course we played was one I've been looking forward to for a long time... The Bridges Golf Club • San Ramon, CA • 2/22/18 Of... 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 →
