On Monday, I played Victoria Club in Riverside as part of an SCGA member outing. I was excited to finally check out this course. Victoria Club and its golf course(s) have quite a long and complex history dating back to the late 1800s. Their website chronicles it pretty well. Check out this link: http://www.victoriaclub.com/About-Us/Club-History.aspx It is... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Indian Hills Golf Club
Yesterday, I got back on my trend of playing courses that I haven’t reviewed yet on this site. Indian Hills Golf Club in Riverside was next on the list. I’ve been looking at their midweek deal times for awhile, so I finally went for it by booking a 9:53 tee time for only $15 through... Continue Reading →
The Heat is On in the Inland Empire
Sunday found me playing another triple-dip in the Inland Empire, but it wasn’t quite as hardcore as the last one as two of the rounds were on local “short” courses. That said, the triple-digit heat made it a pretty long day. The main event for the day was a round at Canyon Crest Country Club... Continue Reading →
Course Review: General Old Golf Course
It’s been several years since I played here, so I haven’t ever reviewed General Old on my site. When a friend suggested we play there Saturday morning, I figured it was about time. After several road trips in August, I was looking forward to a more “relaxed” weekend. Sunday was reserved for opening week of... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Paradise Knolls Golf Club
Note: This course is now closed. Ah, Paradise Knolls…where the white sand beaches caress your feet as beautiful island women serve drinks in coconuts… Oh nevermind, I forgot this is just a middle-of-the-road golf course in lovely Riverside! There isn’t another course I can think of where the name is such a mismatch with the... Continue Reading →
Unfinished Business and Close Calls
Believe it or not, it was another busy golf weekend for me. The weather has been so beautiful here in Southern California I could not stay away. I played two rounds on Saturday, which I’ll review here, and one round on Sunday, which I’ll review later this week. The main event for Saturday was another... Continue Reading →
A Busy Saturday in the Inland Empire
Well, I played 72 holes over the course of the past two days. Admittedly, I’m a little worn out and definitely a bit behind on my reviews. So for now, we’ll focus on what I did yesterday (Saturday) out in the Inland Empire and then I’ll post a second story in the next day or... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Goose Creek Golf Club
Prepare for a vast departure from the last few course reviews I’ve posted. After some disappointing rounds up in LA County in recent weeks, I found redemption Sunday at Goose Creek Golf Club in Mira Loma (just west of Riverside along the I-15 corridor). I went out there yesterday for the first LA Golf Group... Continue Reading →
Different Strokes for Different Folks
If yesterday’s golf adventure was a college art project, it would have been entitled “A Study in Contrast.” It was another interesting day out on the links in the Inland Empire with two vastly different courses played. But I had a lot of fun during both rounds, which just proves the fact there’s many ways... Continue Reading →
