On Thursday, I attended the SCGA member outing at Andalusia Country Club. It is also known as Andalusia at Coral Mountain, which is the name of the high-end residential community in which the course/club is situated. This was the first stop on the SCGA's annual Bob Hope Trail, though it was the only round I... Continue Reading →
The Bullhead Blitz
The final day of my recent trip took me from Las Vegas down to Bullhead City, AZ (just across the river from Laughlin). As I march toward 1,000 courses played, this was a semi-convenient side trip that would allow me to pad the course count a bit. There were a few short courses for me... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Las Vegas Country Club
On Thursday afternoon, I played what was the centerpiece round for my trip. I was able to arrange an invite to play The Las Vegas Country Club and I was excited to check out this piece of local history. I brought some friends along with me and we had a full foursome that teed off... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Red Rock Country Club
My venture out to Pahrump on Wednesday morning was just a basic warm-up and a checklist stop. The real point of the day was getting to play at Red Rock Country Club in the afternoon. Many people are familiar with Arroyo Golf Club at Red Rock, which is the public course here that I have... Continue Reading →
Warming Up in Vegas
I just got home from a quick three-day trip to Southern Nevada/Northwest Arizona. The first two days were spent in the Las Vegas area, though the first round was actually a bit further out of the way... Lake View Executive Golf Course • Pahrump, NV • 5/23/18 In case you weren't aware that the small... Continue Reading →
Renovated Course Review: SilverRock Resort
Yesterday afternoon, I finally made it out to the renovated version of SilverRock in La Quinta. After being reduced to a 9-hole course for some time, the full course reopened last fall and revealed its new back nine configuration. I know the renovation was mainly done to make room for the eventual resort that will... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Corral de Tierra Country Club
The final stop on my recent Northern California trip was one of the best. I was so fortunate to be able to line up two private Monterey clubs on Tuesday and it couldn't have worked out more perfectly in terms of timing, geography, etc. After we finished at Nicklaus Club - Monterey, we headed just...

Course Review: Nicklaus Club – Monterey
Note: This course has since changed its name to The Club at Pasadera, similar to its original name of Pasadera Country Club. Monday's morning round at The Preserve Golf Club was something special, but I was also really looking forward to my Tuesday plans. I was somehow able to arrange rounds on two of the...

Dream Course Review: The Preserve Golf Club
The main reason for my recent trip to Northern California (and more specifically, the Monterey area) was for this bucket list course. Obviously, Cypress Point was the top of my California bucket list at one point. However, I had the great fortune to play that dream round back in 2013. That moved The Preserve Golf...

Course Review(s): Santa Teresa Golf Club
After rounds at Spring Valley and San Jose Municipal on Sunday, we kept our overpriced muni marathon going in the late afternoon down at Santa Teresa Golf Club. We knew it would also be crowded here, but were hopeful it wouldn't be quite as packed as San Jose Municipal. Turns out we were in for... Continue Reading →
