For the final review of my East Bay trip, I will look at the two courses at Las Positas Golf Course in Livermore. Here, they have the Signature 18 regulation course and the Links 9, which is a 9-hole par-3 course. Let's get right into it... Links 9 I had a 10:45 tee time on... Continue Reading →
The main reason for my most recent trip to the East Bay Area was because I was signed up for an NCGA member outing at TPC Stonebrae Country Club. This is one I've been looking forward to since I registered earlier this year. It was a noon shotgun start with a full field of 120... Continue Reading →
I'm going to jump around a little chronologically for this post just because of how things lined up for the different course reviews. If you read my Short Course Blitz, you can see how all over the place I was last week as I checked as many courses off my East Bay list as possible.... Continue Reading →
One of my primary goals of this most recent trip to the Bay Area was to check off as much of my remaining East Bay public list as I could.

Today's post will feature my early morning rounds played last Tuesday and Wednesday, which both happened to be in Marin County (the upper peninsula on the... Continue Reading →
Earlier this week, a travel buddy and I spent three days in the North Bay Area working on our golf checklists in the region. We ended up playing 8 courses over the course of the trip, so I will review them two at a time here. We drove up early on Monday morning (technically I... Continue Reading →
