On Sunday, I had the pleasure of playing both courses at Toscana Country Club in Indian Wells. What a treat for my 849th and 850th courses played! As far as the desert’s many high-end private clubs go, Toscana doesn’t seem to get quite as much attention as others. Part of that may be due to... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Victoria Club
On Monday, I played Victoria Club in Riverside as part of an SCGA member outing. I was excited to finally check out this course. Victoria Club and its golf course(s) have quite a long and complex history dating back to the late 1800s. Their website chronicles it pretty well. Check out this link: http://www.victoriaclub.com/About-Us/Club-History.aspx It is... Continue Reading →
The “Other” Wickenburg Courses
I recently posted my reviews of the Wickenburg Ranch courses (Big Wick/Li’l Wick). That’s the new golf mecca in town. However, there are two older courses also located in Wickenburg. I had the opportunity to play them both on Saturday afternoon during a productive 63-hole day... Los Caballeros Golf Club • Wickenburg, AZ • 5/6/17... Continue Reading →
Course Review(s): Wickenburg Ranch Golf & Social Club
Yesterday, I took a day trip out to the western style town of Wickenburg, AZ (about an hour northwest of Phoenix). It is kind of in the middle of nowhere, but it has some golf in addition to its ranches, and I was determined to play all 63 holes in town. Spoiler alert: I accomplished... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Sundance Golf Club
I previously wrote about my day trip to Buckeye, Arizona, where I played both of the courses at Verrado Golf Club. I finished that 36 with plenty of daylight to spare. It should come as no surprise that I played another round afterward. Nearby Sundance Golf Club was the very logical choice. I had scouted... Continue Reading →
Course Review(s): Verrado Golf Club
I’ve mentioned my recent move out to Rancho Mirage, which sits in the middle of the Coachella Valley’s golf mecca. Well, another nice perk of living here is that another place loaded with great golf just got closer, too! Expect to see a lot more reviews of Arizona courses this year, as there is so...

Course Review: Palm Desert Greens Country Club
On Friday morning, I had the chance to play this private course in the 55+ community of Palm Desert Greens. A friend of mind knows a resident, who was able to get us on the tee sheet. On Friday, they were having an 8:00 shotgun start. We started out on the 16th hole and it... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Rancho San Marcos Golf Course
Wow. It feels like it’s been forever since I last wrote a review. It’s been a slow few months for golf as I moved to a new area, but I am settling in and I expect much more golf on the horizon. Last Friday, however, I did have the opportunity to replay a course that... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Braemar Country Club
I’m off to a slow start this year, but it’s been kind of nice watching SoCal get lots of much-needed rain this month. Lately, though, the weather has been gorgeous. So it was ideal timing for Monday’s SCGA outing at Braemar Country Club in Los Angeles (Tarzana). It was a 10:00 shotgun start, but not... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Palm Valley Country Club
Yesterday, I finally played my first round of the year. At the same time, I also played my first new course of the year, so it was a win-win on all levels. I recently learned that Palm Valley Country Club in Palm Desert was offering limited tee times through StandByGolf during the month of January.... Continue Reading →
