The final stop on my recent Northern California trip was one of the best. I was so fortunate to be able to line up two private Monterey clubs on Tuesday and it couldn't have worked out more perfectly in terms of timing, geography, etc. After we finished at Nicklaus Club - Monterey, we headed just...

Note: This course has since changed its name to The Club at Pasadera, similar to its original name of Pasadera Country Club. Monday's morning round at The Preserve Golf Club was something special, but I was also really looking forward to my Tuesday plans. I was somehow able to arrange rounds on two of the...

After The Preserve review, I think we all need a little bit of a palate cleanser. That was such a special experience, it's time to come back down to earth before reviewing the last two really nice courses that I got to play on this recent trip to Northern California. That's right. It's time for... Continue Reading →
The main reason for my recent trip to Northern California (and more specifically, the Monterey area) was for this bucket list course. Obviously, Cypress Point was the top of my California bucket list at one point. However, I had the great fortune to play that dream round back in 2013. That moved The Preserve Golf...

After rounds at Spring Valley and San Jose Municipal on Sunday, we kept our overpriced muni marathon going in the late afternoon down at Santa Teresa Golf Club. We knew it would also be crowded here, but were hopeful it wouldn't be quite as packed as San Jose Municipal. Turns out we were in for... Continue Reading →
After my Short Course Blitz on Saturday, I stayed up in Fremont in advance of a few rounds in the San Jose area on Sunday. A golf buddy met up with me for the rest of the trip. We don't have a big overlap list of courses we both need to play in this area,... Continue Reading →

Going to do my best to get everything written and posted, while also making sure to spread things out. I know I likely won't... Continue Reading →
After a windy round at Delta View on Thursday morning, Day 2 of my Bay Area trip continued a bit further southwest in the city of San Ramon. The next course we played was one I've been looking forward to for a long time... The Bridges Golf Club • San Ramon, CA • 2/22/18 Of... Continue Reading →
After Deer Ridge and Lone Tree on Wednesday, we continued to roll along the Delta for a third round in the afternoon. Our first rounds went quickly and we had plenty of time to squeeze in at least one more... Diablo Creek Golf Course • Concord, CA • 2/21/18 Their tee time prices go down... Continue Reading →
This week, a friend and I spent two days up in the greater Bay Area. Two days were spent in the East Bay and the third was up in the Napa Valley. When it came to the East Bay, our first focus was on the San Joaquin Delta area before we moved down toward San... Continue Reading →
