Normally I try to take advantage of some free golf deals on my birthday. However, this year a friend invited me to join him at Torrey Pines. We have been talking about lining up a round here for awhile, so I decided that was a pretty nice way to spend part of my birthday. My... Continue Reading →
Hooray! We finally made it through all six days of my epic Northern California/Nevada golf adventure from a few weeks ago—just in time for my next trip a week from now! After 4 days in the Tahoe/Reno area and another in Monterey, the final day of my trip took me to Alameda in the East... Continue Reading →
Yesterday afternoon, I finally made it out to the renovated version of SilverRock in La Quinta. After being reduced to a 9-hole course for some time, the full course reopened last fall and revealed its new back nine configuration. I know the renovation was mainly done to make room for the eventual resort that will... Continue Reading →
Yes, I realize I am a little late to the party on this one. However, I finally got around to playing the renovated Goat Hill Park golf course in Oceanside yesterday. Honestly, I’ve kind of been putting it off, though I knew I had to back there eventually. I’m not sure I had fully healed... Continue Reading →

Yesterday, I had an opportunity to play another resurrected course in Southern California. It seems courses are being run down and closed left and right these days, so it’s always exciting to see places being renovated and reborn. We saw it in spectacular fashion with Rams Hill, but then short courses like Hawk’s Landing and Birch... Continue Reading →
With a number of Southern California courses closing in recent years due to the economy and/or the drought, it’s nice to see a handful of courses reopening after a long period of closure. Rams Hill did it in spectacular fashion and I believe Warner Springs Ranch is set to reopen any day now. The executive... Continue Reading →
On Monday, I had the opportunity to play the recently reopened Rams Hill Golf Club in Borrego Springs. I’ve been looking forward to this for awhile because I never had a chance to play the course in any form before. I say “any form” because this place has a pretty rocky history, and I won’t...
