Yesterday, I went and played Virginia Country Club in Long Beach, CA for the first time. This one has been on my wish list for a long time, but opportunities to access this private club are very few and far between. The few charity tournaments I have seen there have been ridiculously expensive. A friend... Continue Reading →
After playing in Sacramento on Thursday, I continued up the I-5 on Friday. I actually stopped and played a very special round at Eugene Country Club that day. However, I am saving that review for last for various reasons. Instead, we’ll skip ahead to feature the two courses I was able to play in Southern... 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. The NCGA has outings here every year and it is always their most popular event. In recent years, they’ve done two outings each year and... Continue Reading →
Day two of my quick visit to California’s Gold Country took me to four courses in a whirlwind day of golf. I will cover the first two courses in this article, since I need to do a better job of spacing out my content. Each article will feature one full-length course and one 9-hole short...

Sunday was the last day of my four-day adventure through Northern California. I started on the coast and ended up in the Sacramento area for the final couple of days.

The third day of my most recent trip to Northern California was an interesting one. The best laid plans don’t always work out, but I’ve been known to improvise. On this Saturday, I got to revisit one of my favorite Norcal tracks. I also encountered something quite awful. This article is going to be a... Continue Reading →
This weekend, I made my way up to California’s Central Valley. It turned out to be a very interesting and fruitful trip. It all started when a friend (and fellow course collector) was able to set up a round at the private Sunnyside Country Club in Fresno on Saturday afternoon. I wasn’t too excited about...

This past week, I took a four-day road trip up to Northern California to help promote the Greenskeeper.org “GK Review Guru” tee time program. JohnnyGK set up several rounds, primarily at Kemper Sports Management properties, and I was along as an ambassador. After all, most of the courses were new to my list! It was a... Continue Reading →
As you may have noticed, the Central Valley is the next area I am trying to conquer in California. I’ve taken a couple trips up that way recently and hope to do more this summer. Yesterday, a friend and I took a day trip up that way and were able to knock out a couple... Continue Reading →
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 →
