With so much golf around St. George, it's a bit surprising that the area really doesn't have that many short courses. And, two of them are actually at the same facility! And, one of those barely counts as a golf course! The good news is that a lack in quantity does not mean a lack... Continue Reading →
I recently took another 3-day trip to the Bay Area, centered around an NCGA outing at historic Lake Merced Golf Club on Monday. A friend and I drove up together on Sunday morning and we were able to squeeze in plenty of golf before and after that round Monday—despite some limited daylight thanks to the... Continue Reading →
Just north of Bighorn Golf Club in Palm Desert, you will find Ironwood Country Club. It’s yet another wonderful private Coachella Valley club with plenty of history and character. I was out at Ironwood yesterday participating in another SCGA member outing, which was set up on the South Course as a 7:30 shotgun start. A... Continue Reading →
I’ve mentioned my recent move out to Rancho Mirage, which sits in the middle of the Coachella Valley’s golf mecca. Well, another nice perk of living here is that another place loaded with great golf just got closer, too! Expect to see a lot more reviews of Arizona courses this year, as there is so...

I’m just about done with my public course list in the Central Valley, but I also had some unfinished business that had been lingering.

I’ll be back there soon to check out another couple of private courses, so stay tuned. Anyway, this last... Continue Reading →
I’m back home in Southern California. There’s no time to rest for me, though, as I need to get caught up on the final couple of rounds I played in Oregon. Stone Ridge Golf Club • Eagle Point, OR • 7/6/13 Since this trip was all about exploring different parts of my “home away from... Continue Reading →
After playing three rounds on my birthday last summer, I swore I’d never play 54 holes in one day again. I guess technically I held true to that statement yesterday when I played 63! I didn’t plan to, but it just kind of happened. It started in Cathedral City, where some friends and I had... Continue Reading →
I’ve been spending an unusual amount of time out in the Coachella Valley this winter. Normally, I prefer playing out here in the summer to get the best savings, but I’ve been stumbling upon some decent deals. And once you start playing out here in the winter with cooler temperatures and excellent course conditions, you... Continue Reading →
