I had been to Brookside Golf Club once before. I can remember it well, because it was one of the most miserable golf experiences of my life. A friend and I went out there in the dead of summer to play the #1 course (now named after C.W. Koiner, whoever that is). It was a... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Porter Valley Country Club
I don’t devote much time on this blog to focus on private golf courses. I’m a pretty regular guy without too many “connections,” but every once in awhile I get a chance to check out a private club. That was the case today when I visited Porter Valley Country Club in Northridge. This course opens... Continue Reading →
Course Review: DeBell Golf Club
It’s been a rainy and gloomy week here in Southern California, but sometimes for us hardcore golfers it can be advantageous when the fair-weather players stay at home. Actually, I might have abstained myself today had I not already pre-paid for my tee time earlier in the week (when the forecast for the weekend looked... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Los Amigos Golf Course
Yes, I am aware that it’s a little funny that, of all courses I could have picked to play today, I picked the one with “Amigos” in the name. In fact, it’s one of the reasons I chose it. If you are unaware of why this might be a tiny bit funny, just check out... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Rio Hondo Golf Club
I took a half-day off from work today. When I do this, I generally prefer not to drive too far. But since I’ve kind of run out of Orange County courses to check out, I have to keep expanding my “reach” every so slightly in search of new tracks. After scouring GolfNow yesterday, I found...

“Three-Club Monte” at Scholl Canyon
Yesterday, I participated in my third event with the LA Golf Group. It’s a fun bunch of guys and the competition isn’t too serious, so it’s a good excuse to get out and play some different formats. This event was called “Three-Club Monte” and it means you can only use three clubs (putter included). I’ve... Continue Reading →
A Delicious Malibu Sandwich
I will use a brief food analogy to describe my golf weekend. I think of it like a sandwich. In the middle, you have some delicious smoked turkey (my favorite) and all the toppings you enjoy most. On the outside, you have the bread. In this case, pretty basic white bread. That is not to... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Navy Golf Course (Destroyer)
Took a half-day off from work yesterday. I’ve been looking for an excuse to come out and play the Navy Course all year as it’s one of few public courses I hadn’t yet played in Orange County. It’s located right next to the Los Alamitos Joint Forces Training Base. They have two courses here at... Continue Reading →
Well, The City of Industry Does Have Two Things Going for It…And Their Names Are Ike and Babe!
I took the day off from work yesterday just to take advantage of the “Mega Monday” deals at Industry Hills. I had first played the Zaharias course back in March and absolutely fell in love with the layout. I couldn’t wait to play the Eisenhower course next. Most everyone I’ve talked to prefers Ike over...
