Note: This course is now closed. Ah, Paradise Knolls…where the white sand beaches caress your feet as beautiful island women serve drinks in coconuts… Oh nevermind, I forgot this is just a middle-of-the-road golf course in lovely Riverside! There isn’t another course I can think of where the name is such a mismatch with the... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Oak Valley Golf Club
It’s been a number of years since I first played Oak Valley out in Beaumont, but it’s a course I’ve been dying to go play again. Now that I’m in a position to start going back and replaying some of my local favorites (especially those that I haven’t reviewed on this site), the timing was... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Legends Golf Club at Temeku Hills
This morning was a pleasant start to what should be a memorable extended weekend for me. I got out early to get a quick morning round at The Legends Golf Club at Temeku Hills in beautiful Temecula. This course was formerly just known as Temeku Hills, but new owners took over a few years ago... Continue Reading →
Getting Social at Los Serranos
I had a half-day off of work today and headed up to Los Serranos Country Club to play the South course. It was actually a golf outing to celebrate the release of the book, “The Social Golf Course.” It was co-authored by social media expert, Zeb Welborn, and my good friend, John Hakim, founder of...

Course Review: Shandin Hills Golf Club
I have to admit it’s a little awkward getting back into a “normal” weekend golf routine. I decided to take all of last weekend off because of the rain and I only played once this weekend. The hardest part was picking which course to play. With that in mind, I was looking for a decent... 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 →
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 →
Unfinished Business and Close Calls
Believe it or not, it was another busy golf weekend for me. The weather has been so beautiful here in Southern California I could not stay away. I played two rounds on Saturday, which I’ll review here, and one round on Sunday, which I’ll review later this week. The main event for Saturday was another... Continue Reading →
Great Courses at Unusually Great Prices in Temecula
Temecula has always been a nice little hotbed of golf. A couple of weeks ago, I enjoyed an excellent double-play deal at Journey at Pechanga. This weekend, I took advantage of some more unusually great deals in one of my favorite SoCal golf destinations... Redhawk Golf Club • Temecula, CA • 9/14/13 It hasn’t been... Continue Reading →
Wrapping Up My Labor Day Weekend
Most times I get a three-day weekend, I’ll take a little road trip. But I’ve already had plenty of those this summer and a couple more coming up soon, so I figured I’d keep it close to home over the Labor Day holiday. Well, “close to home” by my standards. After two rounds out in... Continue Reading →
