One of the main reasons for my recent golf trip to the Silicon Valley was because I had a chance to play Stanford Golf Course. This is the university's course and it is considered a private club reserved for members, students and faculty/staff. Naturally, it is home to the Stanford University golf team (who can...

We've reached the end of my 3-day Southern Utah adventure. After marathon days on both Thursday and Friday of my trip, I was left with just one course in St. George that I hadn't played yet. It turns out, I saved one of the best surprises for last... Sunbrook Golf Club • St. George, UT... Continue Reading →
The last round of the Lake Tahoe leg of my recent trip was also one of the best. After a slow, grueling round over at Montrêux, I wasn't sure if I had enough in me to play one more. However, when a course like Schaffer's Mill is out there, it's not hard to muster up... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I went and played Virginia Country Club in Long Beach, CA for the first time. This one has been on my wish list for a long time, but opportunities to access this private club are very few and far between. The few charity tournaments I have seen there have been ridiculously expensive. A friend... Continue Reading →
On Sunday, I was able to play one of the oldest courses in the Coachella Valley, Thunderbird Country Club in Rancho Mirage. It was my last SCGA outing of the year, but it was a big one at this classic desert track. Ultimately, things worked out in my favor because last year’s outing here got... Continue Reading →
For the third and final day of my holiday weekend road trip up north, it was time to start working my way back south. Last time I was in this area over Memorial Day weekend, there were a few San Jose area tracks I didn’t get to play, so it made sense to come back... Continue Reading →
I was excited to play this course as part of an SCGA member outing. I’ve always heard some great things about this club. Though not usually mentioned in the same breath with classic, high-end LA clubs like Riviera, LACC or Bel Air, I’ve always gotten the sense that members here have held this place in...

Note: They have since changed the name to simply The Saticoy Club. On Friday, I had the great opportunity to play Saticoy Country Club up in Somis (just outside of Ventura). This is one of those old private clubs I’ve always heard great things about, yet there was still some mystery to it as it’s... Continue Reading →
Actually, I played three rounds the other day (yes, I am aware I have a problem), but I am splitting up the reviews a little differently this time. I played “warm-up” and “cool-down” rounds at Cottonwood Golf Club (Lakes) and Bonita Golf Course. I’ll get the reviews and photos up from those rounds later this... Continue Reading →
