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 →
Centrally Located for Great Golf in the Southland
I’ve never been a huge fan of golf in Orange County. Sure, there are some great courses , but they are always way overpriced (especially on weekends when I play most).

The original idea for this golf vacation began with a Thanksgiving weekend trip to Sawgrass. I figured Florida would be my best chance for good weather in late November. When I realized Sea Island was only about an hour away from Jacksonville and had a comparable climate, then the vacation started expanding a bit. It... Continue Reading →
The Big Thanksgiving Golf Trip, Part 1: “Sea-ing is Believing at Sea Island in Georgia”
This trip turned out to be so epic and I tend to be so long-winded, I had to break it into three parts. When all was said and done, I played seven rounds of golf in the span of five days and was able to experience some of the country’s most beautiful courses and resorts.... Continue Reading →
Palm Springs Area – Overnight Trip, Oct. 2011
As I begin posting on the Golf Nomad blog, I am kind of working my way backward through some of my golf adventures. I’ve taken a few mini-trips this year to get just far enough away to feel like I’m on vacation and also get to play some great courses that require a bit more... Continue Reading →
