Obviously, the content has been a little light lately. I haven't been playing as much, but I should have some new course reviews coming with some holiday travel in the near future. Yesterday afternoon, I did get out and play some golf at Eagle Falls Golf Course in Indio. It was only my second time... Continue Reading →
Exactly seven years ago today, a friend and I drove out to the Coachella Valley for a quick overnight golf trip that found us playing a whopping two courses before heading home. We played the South Course at The Golf Club at Terra Lago one day and then the Dunes Course at La Quinta Resort... Continue Reading →
I chronicled Thursday and Friday of my birthday weekend, but I still had plenty of golf in store for Saturday and Sunday, so here we go. In true Nomad style, Thursday was spent in Ventura County and Friday down in Carlsbad. Saturday found me headed east into the Coachella Valley and Sunday I was in... Continue Reading →
This review is a little late because I accidentally left my camera (among other things) behind at Indian Palms last week and had to wait until this weekend to go and pick them up. It’s no surprise I was a bit forgetful after a very hot, yet fairly productive, day in the desert. The day started... Continue Reading →
Another week, another Short Course Blitz. Last weekend, I visited the high desert. This weekend found me in the more desirable low desert of the Coachella Valley. Obviously, there are a ton of courses out there, but there aren’t really that many public “short” course options. I’ve played a few before, but knocked out a... Continue Reading →
The Coachella Valley just can’t keep me away. As my SoCal public, regulation-18 course checklist dwindles down to the final few, I can smell the finish line. I will be pushing hard and fast over the next few weeks to complete this task. After taking care of both Tahquitz Creek courses last weekend, I was... Continue Reading →
After yesterday, I’ve decided to proclaim 2013 as the “year of the desert” when it comes to my Golf Nomad adventures. I’ve taken multiple trips to Arizona and Vegas (in fact, I’ll be up in Nevada next weekend so stay tuned), and I’ve visited part of Southern California’s high desert. And as you may have...

Even though I was just out in the desert last weekend, I couldn’t resist coming back for another visit while there are still a few good deals to be found. Many courses out in the Coachella Valley are closed right now for overseeding, but the few that are open offer some appealing prices if you... Continue Reading →
After getting back from a little weekend road trip to Arizona late last night, it’s time to start getting caught up on all my reviews and photos. I was trying to decide how to break up the trip into a couple of posts. Normally, I’d go chronologically, but I decided to start with the beginning... Continue Reading →
I enjoyed a nice day out in the Coachella Valley yesterday, even though it was quite hot. With temperatures well over 100 degrees in the afternoon, I knew it would be brutal. However, I also know that with the heat in the desert comes reduced prices and less crowds. Also, most courses are still in... Continue Reading →
