Today was a more eventful day as I played Malibu Golf Club with the Greenskeeper.org crew, but I will post that story tomorrow so stay tuned… I wanted to get caught up on the round I played Friday at Whittier Narrows Golf Course in Rosemead. Though not the most exciting round I’ll ever play, I... Continue Reading →
Course & SCGA Event Review: Lakewood Country Club
Yesterday, I played at Lakewood Country Club for the first time. It’s kind of surprising I had never played here before given how many times I’ve played the other Long Beach area courses like El Dorado Park, Recreation Park and Skylinks. Somehow, Lakewood has avoided me all these years. Well, I finally had the perfect... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Valencia Country Club
I don’t put much emphasis on playing private courses, but when I get a chance to play one I certainly won’t turn down the opportunity. After all, they are generally quite nice. Such is the case with Valencia Country Club. At some point way back in the day, this was a public course, but it... Continue Reading →
Course Review(s): Robinson Ranch Golf Club
Note: This course has since changed its name to Sand Canyon Country Club. They also closed nine holes of the original Mountain nine and currently play with a 27-hole rotation. To round out this past weekend full of great golf, I headed up to Robinson Ranch Golf Club in Santa Clarita, CA. I had an... Continue Reading →
Flashback Review: Trump National Golf Club
It seemed like a good time to post a flashback review of this course. Donald Trump has been in the news this week, partly because the new season of Celebrity Apprentice started up Sunday and partly because he made his intentions known that his “renovation” of Doral might be more extensive than anyone realized—potentially a...

Course Review: The Links at Terranea
To round out another golf-filled weekend here in Southern California, my last stop today was at The Links at Terranea in beautiful Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. RPV gets plenty of attention from local golf-lovers. One of the area’s premier high-end courses is located here (Trump National Golf Club, formerly Ocean Trails) and so is one... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Rancho Vista Golf Club
Another day, another round of golf. Such is the way of the Golf Nomad. Today, I headed up to Palmdale, CA in the high desert northeast of Los Angeles. My course choice was Rancho Vista Golf Club. It’s a course I’ve always heard pretty good things about, with it’s only drawback being that it’s rather... Continue Reading →
Course Review: La Mirada Golf Course
I took a half day off from work today and headed up to La Mirada Golf Course. With the days still being relatively short and the fact that I’ve played pretty much all of Orange County’s courses (other than Pelican Hill’s North Course, which is not in my budget right now), my options are limited... Continue Reading →
A Rematch with Scholl Canyon
Well, this probably won’t be one of the longer reviews I write. It wasn’t long ago that I played Scholl Canyon Golf Course in Glendale as part of the LA Golf Group I belong to. We played out there last summer in our “Three-Club Monte” event, where players are limited to just three clubs in... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Links at Victoria Golf Course
Ever wonder what Olivas Links would look like after a nuclear attack? Wonder no more. Just visit The Links at Victoria Golf Course in Carson, CA. This course has a reputation for being a nightmare condition-wise, so I couldn’t have been too surprised. But sometimes you have to see it to believe it. Given that Carson is a very...
