On Friday afternoon, I was out in the Los Angeles area and I was able to tee it up at Woodland Hills Country Club in Woodland Hills. I was able to arrange a preview round with the club and I was excited to finally play this course. It seems I know a lot of people... Continue Reading →
Last Tuesday, I spent the whole day in Glendale. You’ve already read about my special round at Oakmont Country Club. Well, there was one more private club in town that I was able to play that day: Chevy Chase Country Club. I reached out to the club in advance and they were nice enough to... Continue Reading →
When most people hear the name Oakmont Country Club, they immediately think of the famous major-host course in Western Pennsylvania. Some Northern Californians may even think of Oakmont Golf Club up in Santa Rosa. However, Southern California has its own Oakmont Country Club, located in the hills of Glendale.

Palos Verdes Golf Club is one I’ve been looking forward to playing a long time, but it wasn’t until now that I was able to work it out. The SCGA usually does at least... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I played in another SCGA member outing. This one was at North Ranch Country Club in Westlake Village, CA. This is an interesting area geographically because it straddles the border of Los Angeles County and Ventura County. I believe North Ranch Country Club technically sits in Ventura County, so that’s where it will go... Continue Reading →
After three long days of driving and playing golf throughout the Central Valley, I was back home on Sunday and on the course once again. I would have preferred a day of rest, but this round was already set up weeks ago and I didn’t want to bail out on my friends. One of my... Continue Reading →
On Friday, I continued my recent goal of replaying courses I hadn’t reviewed on the site yet. I’m in no rush to complete this list, but it’s something to do in between any rounds I can get at private clubs. A friend and I met up for a round at good old Woodley Lakes Golf... Continue Reading →
