Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of visiting We-Ko-Pa Golf Club for the first time and playing the Saguaro Course. On most major course ranking sites and in golf magazines, it is typically rated as one of the top public courses in the state of Arizona. Usually not too far down the list is... Continue Reading →
For the final review of my East Bay trip, I will look at the two courses at Las Positas Golf Course in Livermore. Here, they have the Signature 18 regulation course and the Links 9, which is a 9-hole par-3 course. Let's get right into it... Links 9 I had a 10:45 tee time on... Continue Reading →
The main reason for my most recent trip to the East Bay Area was because I was signed up for an NCGA member outing at TPC Stonebrae Country Club. This is one I've been looking forward to since I registered earlier this year. It was a noon shotgun start with a full field of 120... Continue Reading →
I'm going to jump around a little chronologically for this post just because of how things lined up for the different course reviews. If you read my Short Course Blitz, you can see how all over the place I was last week as I checked as many courses off my East Bay list as possible.... Continue Reading →
One of my primary goals of this most recent trip to the Bay Area was to check off as much of my remaining East Bay public list as I could. Ultimately, I played 12 new courses over four days and half of them were short courses. Guess what that means? It's Short Course Blitz time!... Continue Reading →
I just got back from another 4-day trip up to the Bay Area. This time, I was mainly focused on my East Bay public course list as I worked my schedule around a couple of big group outings on Sunday and Monday. This trip did feature a number of "straggler" short courses, so expect a... Continue Reading →
If my Part 3 reviews were a study of contrast in terms of playing conditions, the final two stops on my recent North Bay Area trip also represent quite a contrast. This time, the playing conditions at both courses were very good. However, the layouts and settings couldn't be more different from one another. After... Continue Reading →
After playing Indian Valley on Tuesday morning, my friend and I ventured up the 101 for our second and third rounds of the day. Let's just say there was quite a contrast between the two courses we played... Bennett Valley Golf Course • Santa Rosa, CA • 4/9/19 Between massive wildfires and wet winters, Santa...

I'm going to mix up the order of my remaining North Bay Area reviews a little bit, mainly so I can keep them paired up in better geographical fashion. Today's post will feature my early morning rounds played last Tuesday and Wednesday, which both happened to be in Marin County (the upper peninsula on the... Continue Reading →
Earlier this week, a travel buddy and I spent three days in the North Bay Area working on our golf checklists in the region. We ended up playing 8 courses over the course of the trip, so I will review them two at a time here. We drove up early on Monday morning (technically I... Continue Reading →
