It’s actually been a couple months since I went down into San Diego County for some golf. I ventured down there a lot last year and was able to cross quite a few courses off my “to do” list. What’s making it hard now is that I’ve eliminated all but a few of the easy-to-access... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Goose Creek Golf Club
Prepare for a vast departure from the last few course reviews I’ve posted. After some disappointing rounds up in LA County in recent weeks, I found redemption Sunday at Goose Creek Golf Club in Mira Loma (just west of Riverside along the I-15 corridor). I went out there yesterday for the first LA Golf Group... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Links at Victoria Golf Course
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...

Course Review: Brookside Golf Club (E.O. Nay Course #2)
I had been to Brookside Golf Club once before. I can remember it well, because it was one of the most miserable golf experiences of my life. A friend and I went out there in the dead of summer to play the #1 course (now named after C.W. Koiner, whoever that is). It was a... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Porter Valley Country Club
I don’t devote much time on this blog to focus on private golf courses. I’m a pretty regular guy without too many “connections,” but every once in awhile I get a chance to check out a private club. That was the case today when I visited Porter Valley Country Club in Northridge. This course opens... Continue Reading →
Course Reviews: Indian Wells Golf Resort
I’ve been spending an unusual amount of time out in the Coachella Valley this winter. Normally, I prefer playing out here in the summer to get the best savings, but I’ve been stumbling upon some decent deals. And once you start playing out here in the winter with cooler temperatures and excellent course conditions, you... Continue Reading →
The Last Little Trip of 2012: Day Two at Desert Willow
Earlier in December, I had the chance to play at Desert Willow Golf Resort’s acclaimed Firecliff course and I enjoyed it quite a lot. In case you missed it, you can read that review here. I decided it was worth coming back and playing the Mountain View course there. I figured it would be a... Continue Reading →
The Last Little Trip of 2012: Day One at Westin Mission Hills
After just getting back from my soggy trip to Northern California during the long Christmas weekend, I was right back at it for the long New Year’s weekend. Except this time, I was back here in sunny(?) Southern California. What a better way to finish out the year than another visit out to the Coachella... Continue Reading →
The Devil Went Down to California
After taking Christmas Day off from golf, I concluded my holiday trip up north yesterday by stopping along the drive home for some more great golf. My destination was Diablo Grande Golf & Country Club outside of Patterson (a little bit south of Stockton/Tracy along the I-5). Diablo Grande is a secluded gated community several...

A Sunny, But Soggy, Holiday at Sevillano Links
Note: This course is now known as The Links at Rolling Hills. My family is spending Christmas this year in Corning (the olive capital of California, in case you didn’t know). We kind of randomly picked it because of the Rolling Hills Casino and it was also kind of a middle-ground meeting point for all... Continue Reading →
