As my reviews from this come to an end, I get to the best two courses I played on this particular visit to Northern California. One was Orinda Country Club, which I will review last because I played it last. The other was Napa Valley Country Club. The tease of playing this private club has... Continue Reading →
Note: This course is now (very sadly) closed. On Saturday, I made my way down to San Diego to visit Carmel Mountain Ranch Country Club. This is a course I had only played once before and it was long before this blog. I was looking forward to revisiting it and finally writing an official review.... Continue Reading →
Temecula has always been a nice little hotbed of golf. A couple of weeks ago, I enjoyed an excellent double-play deal at Journey at Pechanga. This weekend, I took advantage of some more unusually great deals in one of my favorite SoCal golf destinations... Redhawk Golf Club • Temecula, CA • 9/14/13 It hasn’t been... Continue Reading →
It’s been several years since I played this course. I used to play it a lot back in the day. I worked right down the street, so some co-workers and I would go out at least once a month to play on a Friday afternoon. I still go out to Costa Mesa once or twice... Continue Reading →

Saturday and Sunday would prove to be much more eventful and fulfilling as I played two much, much nicer Central Valley courses. It started in Bakersfield on... Continue Reading →
It was almost a year-and-a-half ago that I started this little blog. Time certainly does fly. My first story was a review of an overnight trip I took to the Coachella Valley in October of 2011. So, the first course I ever reviewed was The Golf Club at Terra Lago (South). My stories have evolved... Continue Reading →
I don’t often play on Sundays (especially during NFL season), but today was a special occasion and the ideal combination of factors. For one, my team, the Atlanta Falcons, played on Thursday night so I didn’t feel the same compulsion to stay home and watch football all day. Secondly, today was the date I had... Continue Reading →
Mesa Linda is the shorter of the two courses here (Los Lagos being the other). Some people might look down on the overall short yardage of this course and the six par-3 holes, but it’s one of the most fun layouts around. There are lots of risk/reward options and scoring opportunities. The only major challenge... Continue Reading →
