I took the day off from work yesterday just to take advantage of the “Mega Monday” deals at Industry Hills. I had first played the Zaharias course back in March and absolutely fell in love with the layout. I couldn’t wait to play the Eisenhower course next. Most everyone I’ve talked to prefers Ike over...

Course Review: Menifee Lakes Country Club (Lakes Course)
With the big storm on Friday, I decided not to book anything for Saturday morning. I figured I’d get up, see what the weather was looking like and then make my decision. When I got up and looked outside, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. It was another good day for golf! I ended... Continue Reading →
The Infamous 2007 Road Trip, Part 3: The Road Home
Part 3 of this journey took me from Seattle/Tacoma, WA and ultimately led me back home to Orange, CA: Luckily, after my hellish run through Vancouver and into Seattle, I had a bit of time to relax the next morning. I stayed across the lake in Kirkland, but I got some much-needed sleep after such... Continue Reading →
The Infamous 2007 Road Trip, Part 2: Experiencing Both Heaven and Hell in Canada
Okay, so where was I? Oh yeah, I had just finished my round at Old Works in Montana and now I am on the road again, heading west toward Coeur d’Alene, Idaho. It was a cool drive through the mountains, but I almost killed myself trying to stop and get the state sign… (By the... Continue Reading →
Course Review: River View Golf Club (Santa Ana, CA)
Let me start this review by stating that I don’t hate River View as much as most people do. I certainly don’t love it, but it is what it is. River View features a very wacky layout, to say the least. The unconventional scorecard features seven par-3’s, five par-5’s and six par-4’s. So in some... Continue Reading →
The Infamous 2007 Road Trip, Part 1: Desert Heat, a Yellowstone Treat and Bunkers that Were Neat
As I look forward to this May when I have my next big Golf Nomad adventure planned through Southwest and Midwest states, I can’t help but think back to my other massive golf road trip in 2007. I also wanted to celebrate the fact I finally got my own custom domain name for this site... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Golf Club of California
I played at The Golf Club of California in Fallbrook yesterday. I had a groupgolfer.com voucher I needed to use before it expired. It was good only weekends only after 11:00, so I called ahead in the morning and they said they had a group right at 11:00 I could join as a single, which... Continue Reading →
Match Play Weekend: The Highs and Lows
Well, this past weekend was all about “match play.” As I’ve mentioned, I signed up for the GK Cup Match Play tournament on Greenskeeper.org. This was my first year participating, so my expectations weren’t too high because I haven’t really played much competitive golf and match play is a different mindset than normal. Either way,...

Getting Caught Up…
As I sit around on what is a rainy weekend here in Southern California, I figured I’d get caught up and post some reviews and photos of the courses I’ve been playing the past few weeks. Three weeks ago, I visited Green River. Two weeks ago, I went down and played Escondido Country Club for... Continue Reading →
Another Visit to California’s Central Coast
With a three-day President’s Day weekend, I figured it was another good excuse to get out of town for one of my little overnight golf trips. I always enjoy my trips up the Central Coast—just far enough outside of the city to feel like a true getaway, but still close enough it’s not too much... Continue Reading →
