Even though I encountered several pleasant surprises on my holiday trip, no round was more significant than my stop at Eugene Country Club. That’s why I saved this review for last. This course is considered one of the top courses in the country, depending on whose rankings you are looking at. Golf Digest currently has... Continue Reading →
Yesterday I had the opportunity revisit Sun Lakes Country Club in Banning. I played the Championship Course here last year, so I was able to go back this time and check out the Executive Course at this private 55+ club. I played alongside the Assistant Pro at the club and he shared a lot of... Continue Reading →
Last Tuesday, I spent the whole day in Glendale. You’ve already read about my special round at Oakmont Country Club. Well, there was one more private club in town that I was able to play that day: Chevy Chase Country Club. I reached out to the club in advance and they were nice enough to... Continue Reading →

Monday’s round at Lake Merced Golf Club was the main reason for this most recent little trip to the Bay Area. It’s one I’ve been looking forward to for awhile.

O’Donnell Golf Club in Palm Springs is the oldest active course in the valley, with its roots dating back to the 1920s. O’Donnell is a private club with a very small membership base, so it’s...

When I mentioned to some friends recently that I would be playing at Tri Palm this past weekend, I only got a blank stare in return. When I mentioned the club’s old name of Shenandoah Springs, that stare only got slightly less confused. In other words, this is a private golf community not that many... Continue Reading →
Some friends and I recently went in on an auction for the Junior SCGA. We were bidding on a few rounds at private clubs in Southern California, but we only won one. Still, we ended up with a fantastic deal for a foursome at Spring Valley Lake Country Club in Victorville. We played the round... Continue Reading →
I chronicled Saturday’s at private clubs up in Fresno and Visalia. We worked our way further back south for Sunday. I was able to arrange two more private clubs for this day in Kern County. I am extremely grateful both places invited us out… Stockdale Country Club • Bakersfield, CA • 7/9/17 Special thanks to the... Continue Reading →
