This Murrieta course used to be called The Colony and was a par-65 “executive” layout at one time. However, they updated the course and stretched it into a “regulation” par-70 track. And somewhere along the way, they decided to rename it California Oaks. I played out here this morning and it was my first time... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Moreno Valley Ranch Golf Club
Note: This course was closed for several years, but was reopened in 2020 with a new name of Rancho Del Sol Golf Club. It is now only 18 holes, comprised of what used to be the Valley and Mountain nines. Read the full updated review here. It’s been quite a few years since I last... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Sierra Lakes Golf Club
Sierra Lakes is a course I’ve always heard nice things about, so I’ve been wanting to check it out for awhile. Today seemed like a fitting time to go out there, as well. In a couple of weeks, I’ll be playing golf in Kentucky. And Fontana, where Sierra Lakes is located, is often mockingly referred... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Country Club at Soboba Springs

This was my first year participating, so my expectations weren’t too high because I haven’t really played much competitive golf and match play is a different mindset than normal. Either way,...

Getting Caught Up…
As I sit around on what is a rainy weekend here in Southern California, I figured I’d get caught up and post some reviews and photos of the courses I’ve been playing the past few weeks. Three weeks ago, I visited Green River. Two weeks ago, I went down and played Escondido Country Club for... Continue Reading →
Weekend Golf Adventures in the Southland
After a few weeks off from golf, I got back to it this weekend with a vengeance. I had some ideas heading into the weekend, but nothing quite went as planned. However, everything worked out even better than I would have hoped. My original plan for Saturday was to drive out to the Coachella Valley.... Continue Reading →
