After playing in Santa Cruz on Saturday, I was done with the Monterey Peninsula portion of my trip. It was time to start heading home, but not without enjoying some more golf along the way… Paso Robles Golf Club • Paso Robles, CA • 11/24/13 I stayed the night in Paso Robles and was up...

Monterey, Day 3: Santa Cruzin’
When you hear “golf” and “Santa Cruz” in the same sentence, the obvious thought is Pasatiempo. It’s one of my favorite all-time courses and I look forward to coming back and playing it again someday. But as you know, I’m always on the quest to explore new courses, so I checked out some of the... Continue Reading →
Monterey, Day 2: Carmel Calling
I’m quite behind in my posts after a long, busy weekend up in the Monterey area. I’m still exhausted from the trip, but I had such a great time. Plus I wanted to make sure my round at Cypress Point was the lead story on the site for at least a few extra days! Friday... Continue Reading →
Dream Course Review: Cypress Point Club
I’ve been a little tight-lipped on this one, so I purposely didn’t hype this trip up too much in advance like I normally would. Part of it was still slight disbelief that I was actually going to get to play here. On top of that, I didn’t want to jinx anything. Bad weather, road trip... Continue Reading →
The San Diego Locals’ Double-Dip
Okay, so the ultimate 36-hole day for any San Diegan is Torrey Pines South/North, which I had the pleasure of experiencing earlier this year. I had to pay the non-resident rate there, whereas locals get to play those legendary courses for much more reasonable rates. Sunday, I had the opportunity to play the “other” two...

Course Review: Chester Washington Golf Course
I played here Friday afternoon after a half day of work. It was a cheap and relatively convenient option. Most importantly, it is one of the few courses within an hour of where I work that I hadn’t played yet. The price was $32.40 through GolfNow for an 11:52 tee time. When I checked in,...

November in Vegas, Day 3: Live at Red Rock
Over the years, I’ve learned my personal limit in Las Vegas is about 3 days. By then, I’m pretty wiped out. I’m not a hardcore partier or gambler, but just walking around, eating big meals and staying out a little later (while still getting up at the crack of dawn for golf), takes its toll...

November in Vegas, Day 2: Pining for More
After a great first day in Henderson, the rest of the weekend went well with three more rounds played. In retrospect, I’m very happy with the five courses I ended up playing. There was a lot of diversity in terms of layout, challenge and scenery—an unexpected treat in an area where many courses tend to... Continue Reading →
November in Vegas, Part 1: Having Fun in Henderson
I spent this weekend in Las Vegas and had a real good time out there with lots and lots of golf crammed into a few short days. Day 1 found me in Henderson (just south of Vegas proper) for some great golf with buddies through Greenskeeper.org... The Legacy Golf Club • Henderson, NV • 11/8/13... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Golf Club at Rancho California
I visited this course last Sunday with a couple of golf buddies. We were looking for a place to play at a relatively inexpensive price and not a super long drive. Heading out to Murrieta is a bit more of a trek than we wanted, but the deal was enticing enough for this course. We... Continue Reading →
