Note: Since I posted this review, the course changed its name back to Cherry Hills Golf Course. In a weird way, I’ve been having some fun revisiting some of these courses that I played long before the blog. However, there are a few “undesirables” on the list that I knew I would eventually have to... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Upland Hills Country Club
As I continue to slowly but surely work my way back through some of the local courses that I have never reviewed here, I am driven by deals. Fortunately, a majority of my list is lower-end tracks (a lot of county and muni courses), so I’m able to look for a really good price and... Continue Reading →
Course Review: San Dimas Canyon Golf Course
On Thursday, I took a most excellent adventure up to San Dimas (yes, the hometown of Bill & Ted) to play San Dimas Canyon Golf Course. This is a course I’ve always had a fondness for, though it has been several years since I last played there. As a LA County course, deals aren’t always... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Black Gold Golf Club
Yesterday, I stayed close to home for an afternoon round at Black Gold Golf Club in Yorba Linda. It’s a course I’ve been wanting to revisit and get a fresh experience. The only other time I played here was many years ago. I remember liking the course somewhat, but I didn’t love it. And, like... Continue Reading →
Course Review: La Cañada Flintridge Country Club
On Monday, I was able to add another Southern California private club to the list. I had signed up for a “member for a day” outing at La Cañada Flintridge Country Club through GolfSouthernCal.com. It was a 9:30 shotgun start and the rate was reasonable. Some friends and I signed up for $60 a player,... Continue Reading →
Back to Vegas, Part 2: Rounding Out the Trip
I featured both courses at The Revere Golf Club in the first part of my Vegas trip review. My friend and I played plenty of golf in between those two rounds, though, as well as one more before heading home Friday evening. On Thursday morning, we made our way up to North Las Vegas for...

Back to Vegas, Part 1: Riding with The Revere
Having attended a lot of Greenskeeper.org outings in the past year, a friend and I had collected a handful of free golf vouchers from the prize pools. With some of them expiring at the end of January, we put together a spur-of-the-moment Vegas trip this week to cash them all in. Normally, I would review... Continue Reading →
A Return to Rams Hill
On Sunday, it was time to make a return out to Rams Hill Golf Club in Borrego Springs. I had the opportunity to play there twice last year, not long after it reopened. It had gone through a major resurrection and quickly reestablished itself as one of the best courses in Southern California. I first... Continue Reading →
From Me to Yuma
This weekend goes to show what I’ll do in the name of finding new golf courses to play. Greenskeeper.org had an outing scheduled at Rams Hill Golf Club in Borrego Springs on Sunday afternoon (I’ll review that later this week). Unfortunately, I have played everything out there, so I had to expand my territory a... Continue Reading →
Drive-Thru Golf in the Central Valley
After my Short Course Blitz on the Northern California coast on Saturday, I continued my long trek back home. I stayed the night in Livermore and opted for geographically convenient options on Sunday instead of anything fancy. If parts of the Midwest are considered “fly-over states,” then there are many places in California’s Central Valley... Continue Reading →
