Yesterday, I finally had the opportunity to play this local course in nearby Placentia. I say “finally” because teases of playing this course with a friend have plagued me for several years, yet none of his invites ever came through. Through the SCGA outings, I was able to befriend another member at Alta Vista and he... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Laguna Woods Village Golf Club
Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit this local course. Being that this club is part of a 55+ community, it was a tricky one to access. Thankfully, a friend had a client who lives here and was nice enough to invite us out for a round. Technically, there are 36 holes within this community.... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Newport Beach Country Club
This week found me playing four days in a row at different local private clubs. Needless to say, it was a fun week that just happened to line up and net me four new courses for my list. In theory, I saved the best for last. I say “in theory” because Newport Beach Country Club is... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Los Coyotes Country Club
Get ready for a barrage of private club reviews these next two weeks. It just so happens a number of outings were lined up, so I’ll be busy. Next up was today’s round at Los Coyotes Country Club in Buena Park. Though they do have “member for a day” outings here from time to time, they... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Dad Miller Golf Course
You guessed it. This was another low-end course on my replay list. I wasn’t necessarily planning to play on Saturday, but was feeling bored in the morning and started looking for tee times. There weren’t many exciting deals at any of my replay list courses, so Dad Miller Golf Course in Anaheim seemed like the... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course
The mediocrity continues… On Tuesday, I headed down the street in Irvine to one of my local courses. I will say the convenience of Rancho San Joaquin has given it a little extra appeal for me personally. Still, I probably only play here every 3-5 years. In my experience, the prices always seem a bit... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Meadowlark Golf Club
On Tuesday, I decided to play an early morning round. It made sense to stay close to home in OC, as well as keep it affordable. As I looked at options on Tuesday night, Meadowlark GC in Huntington Beach seemed like the best deal. It was also another one to cross of my “replay” list since... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Big Canyon Country Club
On Wednesday, I had a rare opportunity to play another one of Orange County’s most exclusive private clubs, Big Canyon Country Club in Newport Beach. I’ve been looking forward to this round for awhile, ever since some friends and I went in on a charity auction package that included three awesome OC rounds. First, we... Continue Reading →
Course Review: El Niguel Country Club
On Monday, I stayed closed to home in Orange County. Some friends and I had signed up for a charity golf tournament at El Niguel Country Club in Laguna Niguel. The event was raising money for a great charity called Kids Konnected. It was an 11:00 shotgun start and a scramble playing format. We had... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Black Gold Golf Club
Yesterday, I stayed close to home for an afternoon round at Black Gold Golf Club in Yorba Linda. It’s a course I’ve been wanting to revisit and get a fresh experience. The only other time I played here was many years ago. I remember liking the course somewhat, but I didn’t love it. And, like... Continue Reading →
