Temecula has always been a nice little hotbed of golf. A couple of weeks ago, I enjoyed an excellent double-play deal at Journey at Pechanga. This weekend, I took advantage of some more unusually great deals in one of my favorite SoCal golf destinations... Redhawk Golf Club • Temecula, CA • 9/14/13 It hasn’t been... Continue Reading →
Central Coast Day 2: Old Favorites and New Surprises
If Day 1 wasn’t productive enough, my friend and I were back at it nice and early Saturday morning. There were 36 more holes on the schedule, and it started with one of the Central Coast’s most hidden gems… Rancho Maria Golf Club • Orcutt, CA • 9/7/13 Rancho Maria does not generally come up...

Central Coast Day 1: Contrast in Ventura County
This past weekend, I took another little road trip up the California coast. This time I had a friend with me as we made our way up to Monarch Dunes in Nipomo for another great Greenskeeper.org event. I’ll review that outing when I post "Day 2" later this week. After all, Day 1 featured plenty of... Continue Reading →
Wrapping Up My Labor Day Weekend
Most times I get a three-day weekend, I’ll take a little road trip. But I’ve already had plenty of those this summer and a couple more coming up soon, so I figured I’d keep it close to home over the Labor Day holiday. Well, “close to home” by my standards. After two rounds out in... Continue Reading →
Old School Charm in the Desert
With Labor Day weekend representing the unofficial end of summer, I figured I’d go and enjoy one of my favorite summer treats—cheap golf in Coachella Valley! Woodhaven Country Club • Palm Desert, CA • 8/31/13 I got an early start as always, but not as early as usual for me. I booked a 7:30 time... Continue Reading →
A Little Fog. A Lot of Fun.
Sunday, I ventured up the coast a little bit for some golf and good times. The LA Golf Group I belong to was having an afternoon outing at Olivas Links in Ventura (the group’s unofficial “home” course). I’ve reviewed that course a few times in the past couple of years, so I won’t spend too... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Pala Mesa Golf Resort
A friend and I played out here this morning. With the combination of an ezlinks.com tee time and a Groupon discount, we were able to get out for less than $30 a piece. It was a really good deal for a 6:45 Saturday tee time. We teed off right about on time and it wasn’t... Continue Reading →
Viva Las Vegas!
I already told you about my visit(s) to Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort over the weekend, but that was not the only golf I got to play while out in the Silver State. Even with all the summer heat in the desert, there are still plenty of great options there... Angel Park Golf Club (Mountain)... Continue Reading →
Three Big Slices of Paiute
I had a great weekend in Vegas with plenty of good golf. The trip centered around Las Vegas Paiute Golf Resort. This is a place I’ve always wanted to play. I’ve never heard a bad thing about any of the three courses here, so I was excited to finally check them all out during one... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Woods Valley Golf Club
I ended up down in the San Diego area again this morning, even though the traffic coming back is always brutal. San Clemente is always one big parking lot on Sunday afternoons and it’s never fun, but sometimes you have to make that sacrifice for good golf. The reason I went to Woods Valley is...
