As I mentioned in earlier reviews from this trip, I had one private club a day lined up for three days in a row. That made it pretty easy to plan the rest of the trip around. I started with Woodbridge on Sunday and then played Brookside on Monday. Tuesday's main round was at Rancho... Continue Reading →
My main round last Monday was at Brookside Country Club in Stockton. At the beginning of the year when the NCGA Member Outing schedule came out, this is one that my friend and I targeted. It was one of the less expensive outings at $80. In addition, the timing of it was nice in early... Continue Reading →
This latest trip up north resulted in rounds a three different private clubs on three consecutive days, so it was nice having a marquee round to plan each day around. My friend was able to line up a round here at Woodbridge Golf & CC through Boxgroove. Woodbridge is located just north of Lodi and... Continue Reading →
Last week, I took a 3-day trip out to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. I always like any excuse to visit Arizona for golf, so I end up out that way a few times a year. This was more of a social trip centered around a few rounds with folks with fellow greenskeeper.org members, so it wasn't... Continue Reading →
Before my recent trip to St. George, I had 11 potential courses on my checklist that I hadn't yet played. Before noon on the second day, I only had three left! Uncrowded courses, affordable rates and quick rounds made it easy to keep playing. Yet, the heat seemed to crank up an extra notch by... Continue Reading →
The big debate when planning my St. George trip was whether or not I wanted to splurge for a round at Entrada at Snow Canyon. This is widely considered one of the best—the best according to many—course in Southern Utah. However, it is technically a private club. The only way to get on here as... Continue Reading →
The finale of my most recent Northern California road trip was a grand one, indeed. In fact, it was such a good get that we had to add an extra day onto the trip and drive pretty far out of the way from San Francisco to Truckee. Then, we drove all the way back home... Continue Reading →
After all the hype of the past few months, I finally made it to 1K. Yes, I reached the milestone of 1,000 different courses played on July 17, 2018. I always like to do something special whenever I reach every 100th course (and a few of the 50s, as well). Of course, I wanted to... Continue Reading →
The last round of the Lake Tahoe leg of my recent trip was also one of the best. After a slow, grueling round over at Montrêux, I wasn't sure if I had enough in me to play one more. However, when a course like Schaffer's Mill is out there, it's not hard to muster up... Continue Reading →
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 →
