I played here on Saturday afternoon, but I’ve been gathering my thoughts about it since then. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a great experience on this visit to Eagle Glen, so I have some mixed emotions about it. This used to be one of my favorite courses in the Inland Empire. I have fond memories of playing... Continue Reading →
Two Different Sides of “Classic” LA Golf
Friday was another double-dip for me as I kept things a little closer to home. It started with a round on a busy and basic muni course and ended on one of the area’s lesser-known private tracks. Both offered some old school Los Angeles charm, but in two very different ways… Alondra Golf Course •... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Knollwood Country Club
With ugly weather in the forecast, I was undecided all week if I was going to play today. With the big year-end Greenskeeper.org event out at Indian Wells tomorrow, I had thoughts of heading out toward Palm Springs and staying the night, but playing out there in the poor weather this afternoon just didn’t have...

Hidden Gems in Borrego Springs
After visiting Imperial County on Thursday, I planned to make my way back through the Borrego Springs area. It’s just far enough out of the way for me normally, so this was the perfect opportunity to check it out. And unlike Imperial County, Borrego Springs is actually known for some good golf. Borrego Springs is... Continue Reading →
Where the Heck is Imperial County?
It wasn’t the most glamorous road trip I’ve ever taken (especially after being up in Monterey the week before), but it had to be done. It’s no secret I have been working fast and furiously toward my goal to play all the public, regulation 18-hole courses in Southern California. As I near the bottom of... Continue Reading →
Monterey, Day 4: The Road Home
After playing in Santa Cruz on Saturday, I was done with the Monterey Peninsula portion of my trip. It was time to start heading home, but not without enjoying some more golf along the way… Paso Robles Golf Club • Paso Robles, CA • 11/24/13 I stayed the night in Paso Robles and was up...

Monterey, Day 3: Santa Cruzin’
When you hear “golf” and “Santa Cruz” in the same sentence, the obvious thought is Pasatiempo. It’s one of my favorite all-time courses and I look forward to coming back and playing it again someday. But as you know, I’m always on the quest to explore new courses, so I checked out some of the... Continue Reading →
Monterey, Day 2: Carmel Calling
I’m quite behind in my posts after a long, busy weekend up in the Monterey area. I’m still exhausted from the trip, but I had such a great time. Plus I wanted to make sure my round at Cypress Point was the lead story on the site for at least a few extra days! Friday... Continue Reading →
Dream Course Review: Cypress Point Club
I’ve been a little tight-lipped on this one, so I purposely didn’t hype this trip up too much in advance like I normally would. Part of it was still slight disbelief that I was actually going to get to play here. On top of that, I didn’t want to jinx anything. Bad weather, road trip... Continue Reading →
The San Diego Locals’ Double-Dip
Okay, so the ultimate 36-hole day for any San Diegan is Torrey Pines South/North, which I had the pleasure of experiencing earlier this year. I had to pay the non-resident rate there, whereas locals get to play those legendary courses for much more reasonable rates. Sunday, I had the opportunity to play the “other” two...
