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 →
I'm going to mix up the order of my remaining North Bay Area reviews a little bit, mainly so I can keep them paired up in better geographical fashion. Today's post will feature my early morning rounds played last Tuesday and Wednesday, which both happened to be in Marin County (the upper peninsula on the... 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 →
Recently, I posted my review of the new South Course at Corica Park in the East Bay Area. Well, the South Bay has a new and improved course of its own. Baylands Golf Links also reopened very recently and has kind of a similar story. This used to be known as Palo Alto Golf Course.... Continue Reading →
If all goes as planned (knocking on wood as I write), I will be playing my 1,000th golf course on Tuesday, July 17. It will be somewhere pretty special, so stay tuned. With that milestone in mind, I need to stay on pace with my new course count so that everything times out correctly with... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I took a day trip out to Arizona. I did this a couple times last year with fun days in Wickenburg and Buckeye. The westside of Phoenix is a little easier to access coming from California (compared to Scottsdale or Mesa on the other side of the valley), so it's a good place to... Continue Reading →
Well, I’ve come back down to earth after my trip to the Northeast where I played some truly world-class courses. It was a bit tough getting back to “normal,” but I’m going to keep doing what I do! Yesterday found me traveling back up to Ventura to join the Greenskeeper.org crew for another fun outing... Continue Reading →
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 →
Ever wonder what Olivas Links would look like after a nuclear attack? Wonder no more. Just visit The Links at Victoria Golf Course in Carson, CA. This course has a reputation for being a nightmare condition-wise, so I couldn’t have been too surprised. But sometimes you have to see it to believe it. Given that Carson is a very...

Well, it was another busy golf weekend and another out-of-town adventure. This weekend, I headed up to Ventura. It’s really not a super far drive for me (1:45, give or take, depending on traffic), but just far enough to feel significant. Anyway, I had signed up for an outing put on by Greenskeeper.org and the... Continue Reading →
