With reasonable weather this year, I was excited to get more golf in while visiting Northern California for Christmas. Today presented the opportunity to visit Gold Hills Golf Club in Redding. It was about a 45-minute drive from where we were staying in Corning, but good golf is quite spread out in the northern part... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Sevillano Links (2013 Rematch)
Note: This course is now known as The Links at Rolling Hills. Today, it was time for a rematch with this course. It’s one of the north state’s true hidden gems, even though it’s about as close to the I-5 freeway as any course gets. The problem is people don’t go out of their way... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Alister MacKenzie Golf Course at Haggin Oaks
First of all, Merry Christmas to everyone! I’m back up in Northern California for the extended holiday weekend with some family. We’re staying in “lovely” Corning again like last year. But unlike last year, I should get more golf in. The forecast this week calls for mostly sunny skies the whole time I’m here. Last... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Westridge Golf Club
Another day, another round of golf. For me, this was a nice relaxing weekend with just two rounds of golf (one a day), but both were slow, so it still seemed to burn a lot of time on each day. Sunday kept me a little closer to home with a visit to Westridge Golf Club... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Eagle Crest Golf Club
It’s been awhile since I played this course, but I made a return visit there yesterday with a couple of friends. The main reason was because I had bought a deal voucher through Deal Caddy (GolfNow) that was set to expire at the end of the month and Saturday was my last opportunity I had... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Eagle Glen Golf Club
I played here on Saturday afternoon, but I’ve been gathering my thoughts about it since then. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a great experience on this visit to Eagle Glen, so I have some mixed emotions about it. This used to be one of my favorite courses in the Inland Empire. I have fond memories of playing... Continue Reading →
Two Different Sides of “Classic” LA Golf
Friday was another double-dip for me as I kept things a little closer to home. It started with a round on a busy and basic muni course and ended on one of the area’s lesser-known private tracks. Both offered some old school Los Angeles charm, but in two very different ways… Alondra Golf Course •... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Knollwood Country Club
With ugly weather in the forecast, I was undecided all week if I was going to play today. With the big year-end Greenskeeper.org event out at Indian Wells tomorrow, I had thoughts of heading out toward Palm Springs and staying the night, but playing out there in the poor weather this afternoon just didn’t have...

Hidden Gems in Borrego Springs
After visiting Imperial County on Thursday, I planned to make my way back through the Borrego Springs area. It’s just far enough out of the way for me normally, so this was the perfect opportunity to check it out. And unlike Imperial County, Borrego Springs is actually known for some good golf. Borrego Springs is... Continue Reading →
Where the Heck is Imperial County?
It wasn’t the most glamorous road trip I’ve ever taken (especially after being up in Monterey the week before), but it had to be done. It’s no secret I have been working fast and furiously toward my goal to play all the public, regulation 18-hole courses in Southern California. As I near the bottom of... Continue Reading →
