I’ll just review this course by itself. It was the only round I played over the weekend while staying up in Modesto, with full golf days on Friday and Monday to bookend the trip. I had a chance to get out for a quick round on late Sunday afternoon. From Modesto, Micke Grove Golf Links... Continue Reading →

Course Reviews: Mission Hills Country Club
Last Thursday, a friend and I had the great opportunity to visit Mission Hills Country Club in Rancho Mirage.
