Not as fancy as it sounds. With the PGA Championship on this weekend, I wanted to get out for an early round today and I didn’t want to have to drive too far from home. There’s a handful of LA County courses left on my list, so I figured today would be a good chance... Continue Reading →
Birthday Bonanza 2013!
Last year, I made the most of my birthday with three free rounds up in Ventura County. This year, I kept things a little closer to home…well, kind of. My Wednesday started with a visit to an Orange County course with one of the best birthday deals around. Tustin Ranch Golf Club • Tustin, CA •... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Maderas Golf Club
2013 has been a productive year for me when it comes to playing some of San Diego County’s more expensive courses. When I first made my full wish list, I figured it would take awhile to chip away at all the high-end options down there, but I’ve been able to take advantage of a few... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Industry Hills Golf Club (Zaharias)
Technically, the full name nowadays is Industry Hills Golf Club at Pacific Palms, but you get the idea. The name “Industry Hills” is all you really need to know when talking about these two highly regarded courses. They are running a special right now on the Zaharias course. Through the end of August, you can... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Costa Mesa Country Club (Los Lagos)
It’s been several years since I played this course. I used to play it a lot back in the day. I worked right down the street, so some co-workers and I would go out at least once a month to play on a Friday afternoon. I still go out to Costa Mesa once or twice... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Whittier Narrows Golf Course
Today was a more eventful day as I played Malibu Golf Club with the Greenskeeper.org crew, but I will post that story tomorrow so stay tuned… I wanted to get caught up on the round I played Friday at Whittier Narrows Golf Course in Rosemead. Though not the most exciting round I’ll ever play, I... Continue Reading →
Two Sides of San Clemente
I don’t always play golf in Orange County, but when I do, I make interesting choices. I kept it close to home yesterday because I had another of my Greenskeeper.org first round “GK Cup” match outings. My opponents (more on that later) were members of Bella Collina Towne & Golf Club in San Clemente, so... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Carlton Oaks Golf Club
On Sunday, a friend and I drove down to Santee (just east of San Diego) to check out this course. I had previously purchased a voucher on Underpar.com that was a great deal. It was $74 for two players and included a same-day replay round, so $37 a piece was a steal for this course... Continue Reading →
A Solid Conclusion in Southern Oregon
I’m back home in Southern California. There’s no time to rest for me, though, as I need to get caught up on the final couple of rounds I played in Oregon. Stone Ridge Golf Club • Eagle Point, OR • 7/6/13 Since this trip was all about exploring different parts of my “home away from... Continue Reading →
A Little Bit of Home Cookin’
I’m spending 4th of July in my hometown of Crescent City, CA. Of course, when I come back home, I always like teeing it up on some of the local courses and enjoying a bit of nostalgia... Salmon Run Golf Course • Brookings, OR • 7/3/13 I’ve written about this course a number of times... Continue Reading →
