This week, I made a quick trip up to Southern Nevada. It's kind of become an annual tradition to go up to Vegas (sometimes Mesquite) in early November. One of my golf buddies usually plans it, but he wasn't able to make it this year. However, I was invited to play a comp round at... Continue Reading →
Too Much Time on My Hands
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 →
Course Review: Montreux Golf & Country Club
On a trip filled with marquee rounds, Montrêux was definitely one of the centerpieces. In all honesty, it was the main excuse for this trip. The NCGA comes out to Tahoe every year. They usually play Edgewood Tahoe and another club in the area. This year, they returned to Montrêux Golf & Country Club in Reno... Continue Reading →
Course Review(s): Incline Village
Incline Village would present the main course(s) for the day on Sunday. As I mentioned in my previous posts, the weather forecast was ugly this day and that pretty much kept everyone away from the golf courses we played. This was especially true at Incline Village, which draws more of a resort crowd who are... Continue Reading →

Short Course Blitz: The Many Sides of Tahoe
You knew this would be coming. When I say I played 19 rounds over the course of six days, you have to assume there would be at least a few short courses involved. Actually, I played five of them—four of which will be reviewed in this post. The first short course visit took place in... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Edgewood Tahoe
For my first golf trip to Lake Tahoe, I was very happy with the result. Though I still have plenty more left to play on future visits, I was able to knock down several top-shelf courses that have been on my bucket list for years. None was higher on that list for the region than... Continue Reading →
Where the Nevada Winds Blow
Part 2 of my Tahoe golf adventure takes me to the Nevada side of the border, with two late afternoon rounds on Friday and Saturday respectively. From here on out, I may not post the reviews exactly in order, but they are split up and grouped the best I can see fit. Let's get right... Continue Reading →
Breaking the Seal on Tahoe
I just returned home from a whirlwind 6-day golf adventure. Needless to say, I have a lot of reviews to get caught up on and this will be the first of 10 articles that will come out of this one crazy road trip! I ended up playing 19 different courses (17 of them new to... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Las Vegas Country Club
On Thursday afternoon, I played what was the centerpiece round for my trip. I was able to arrange an invite to play The Las Vegas Country Club and I was excited to check out this piece of local history. I brought some friends along with me and we had a full foursome that teed off... Continue Reading →
