Hooray! We finally made it through all six days of my epic Northern California/Nevada golf adventure from a few weeks ago—just in time for my next trip a week from now! After 4 days in the Tahoe/Reno area and another in Monterey, the final day of my trip took me to Alameda in the East... Continue Reading →
Redemption Review: Spyglass Hill Golf Course
What a wacky six-day adventure it was a couple weeks ago, and I'm still getting caught up on reviews. My original plan was to spend three full days (maybe 3.5) the Tahoe/Truckee/Reno area. That blossomed into four full days at the last minute. Also, another opportunity came up to play in a special event in... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Schaffer’s Mill Golf & Lake Club
The last round of the Lake Tahoe leg of my recent trip was also one of the best. After a slow, grueling round over at MontrĂŞux, I wasn't sure if I had enough in me to play one more. However, when a course like Schaffer's Mill is out there, it's not hard to muster up... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Montreux Golf & Country Club
On a trip filled with marquee rounds, MontrĂŞux was definitely one of the centerpieces. In all honesty, it was the main excuse for this trip. The NCGA comes out to Tahoe every year. They usually play Edgewood Tahoe and another club in the area. This year, they returned to MontrĂŞux Golf & Country Club in Reno... Continue Reading →
Course Review(s): Incline Village
Incline Village would present the main course(s) for the day on Sunday. As I mentioned in my previous posts, the weather forecast was ugly this day and that pretty much kept everyone away from the golf courses we played. This was especially true at Incline Village, which draws more of a resort crowd who are... Continue Reading →
Dawn Patrol in Tahoe: Meadows, Mountains and Marmots
On Sunday and Monday, we were up early and ready to get our warm-up rounds in. Not a lot of set up here, so let's just go ahead and get started... Northstar California Resort • Truckee, CA • 6/17/18 This is one of those I'm not exactly sure how to label. I've seen it referred... Continue Reading →
Short Course Blitz: The Many Sides of Tahoe
You knew this would be coming. When I say I played 19 rounds over the course of six days, you have to assume there would be at least a few short courses involved. Actually, I played five of them—four of which will be reviewed in this post. The first short course visit took place in... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Edgewood Tahoe
For my first golf trip to Lake Tahoe, I was very happy with the result. Though I still have plenty more left to play on future visits, I was able to knock down several top-shelf courses that have been on my bucket list for years. None was higher on that list for the region than... Continue Reading →
Where the Nevada Winds Blow
Part 2 of my Tahoe golf adventure takes me to the Nevada side of the border, with two late afternoon rounds on Friday and Saturday respectively. From here on out, I may not post the reviews exactly in order, but they are split up and grouped the best I can see fit. Let's get right... Continue Reading →
Breaking the Seal on Tahoe
I just returned home from a whirlwind 6-day golf adventure. Needless to say, I have a lot of reviews to get caught up on and this will be the first of 10 articles that will come out of this one crazy road trip! I ended up playing 19 different courses (17 of them new to... Continue Reading →
