On Sunday, I made my way out to the Coachella Valley once again. It’s that time of year when the temperatures are rising and the golf deals start getting better. My primary round on Sunday really wasn’t really a deal, but it was an opportunity to play a new course and check another one off... Continue Reading →
Updated Course Review: Tijeras Creek Golf Club
This has always been one of my favorites in Orange County, though I’ve only played here twice before because I don’t like playing in OC that much (especially on weekends when courses are both crowded and ridiculously overpriced). However, a friend of mine is a Creek Card member as of this year and they had... Continue Reading →
Updated Course Review: Coyote Hills Golf Course
It’s been a couple years since I played here, but I ventured up to Fullerton on Sunday to join my buddies in the Los Angeles Golf Group for a small tournament on this always fun course. I’ll keep this short and sweet as you and read my previous review for more thoughts and information on... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Bernardo Heights Country Club
I played out here on Saturday in an SCGA member outing. It’s rare they hold these on weekends, but they are becoming a little more frequent and I’m always happy to sign up when it’s a course I haven’t played. It was a 1:30 shotgun start, but the traffic on the I-5 was brutal and... Continue Reading →
Silicon Valley Trip, Day 2: Quantity Over Quality
My main rounds of this trip took place on Saturday at San Juan Oaks and Eagle Ridge, but I wanted to make the most of my two days out of town and add a few more courses to the list. When it came to booking my golf on Sunday, I opted for affordability and convenience.... Continue Reading →
Silicon Valley Trip, Day 1: Many Great Highlights
With a three-day Memorial Day weekend, I had to get out of town and find some new courses to play. My trip took me to an area I haven’t explored much golf-wise. Basically, I just worked my way further up along the 101 and into the Silicon Valley, which opened up a lot of new... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Stone Eagle Golf Club
This course has been on my wish list for a few years, since I came across an article about it in Southland Golf Magazine and was intrigued by the photos. It’s one of the many private clubs in the Coachella Valley that you don’t hear that much about, so it’s always held some mysterious appeal... Continue Reading →
Seeking Challenge in the Desert
Saturday took me out to one of my favorite places, the Coachella Valley. I was there to play an exciting double-dip in La Quinta that would challenge every aspect of my game. The main event for the day was a Greenskeeper.org tournament at the PGA West TPC Stadium course, but we also had a great... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Sierra La Verne Country Club
A friend turned me on to a “member for a day” deal this club was offering through May 10. The prices are $40 for weekday, $50 for weekend. With weekend availability, of course I jumped on the chance to play a new course at a reasonable guest rate. I even gathered up a group of... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Wood Ranch Golf Club
Another private club in the books. Wood Ranch, located in Simi Valley, is actually one of the more accessible courses around, but I had yet to play it until recently. Finally, the timing was right and I was able to sign up for one of their “member for a day” offers. They had booked me... Continue Reading →
