Saturday was a rare “relaxed” day of golf for me. I only had one round on the schedule and enjoyed a chance to sleep in a bit. Then, a couple friends and I headed up to Chino Hills for an afternoon round at good old El Prado. My friends enjoy playing here a lot, though... Continue Reading →
Classic Style, Country Club Living
I recently had the opportunity to play two private clubs on another great day. Though the two courses I visited really aren’t too far from one another, they are separated by county lines. The first is technically in San Bernardino Country and the second is in Orange County, but the similarities are hard to deny.... Continue Reading →
Being the Nomad isn’t Always Easy Work
I gave myself the name of “Golf Nomad,” but I’d like to think I’ve earned that monicker over the years. In case anyone was in doubt, Saturday’s drive through some remote parts of the desert should help further my case. I got started with a little military-themed golf… Desert Winds Golf Course • MCAGCC Twentynine... 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: Empire Lakes Golf Course
Note: This course is now closed. Another stop on my “revisiting nice courses I’ve only played once in the past” tour. This time, I made it up to Rancho Cucamonga to rediscover Empire Lakes. Part of the inspiration for this visit is the recent news/rumors that have been going around that they have sold the... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Los Serranos Country Club (North)
Though I didn’t get out of town for the three-day Memorial Day weekend, I still got in plenty of golf. Sunday found me playing an afternoon round as part of the GK Cup match play tournament pitting Greenskeeper.org members against one another in matches that we arrange on our own. Sunday was my final match... Continue Reading →
Getting Social at Los Serranos
I had a half-day off of work today and headed up to Los Serranos Country Club to play the South course. It was actually a golf outing to celebrate the release of the book, “The Social Golf Course.” It was co-authored by social media expert, Zeb Welborn, and my good friend, John Hakim, founder of...

Course Review: Shandin Hills Golf Club
I have to admit it’s a little awkward getting back into a “normal” weekend golf routine. I decided to take all of last weekend off because of the rain and I only played once this weekend. The hardest part was picking which course to play. With that in mind, I was looking for a decent... Continue Reading →
Tri-State Trip, Days 2.5 & 3: Rounding Out a Fun Weekend
I covered two of the rounds I played on Sunday while on the Arizona side of the river, but there was one more “bonus” round I was able to work in. It was an unexpected treat, for sure… Los Lagos Golf Club • Fort Mohave, AZ • 2/16/14 By the time I finished at Laughlin... Continue Reading →
Tri-State Trip, Day 1: Warming Up on the West Side of the River
Okay, I have a lot to get caught up on after a busy weekend filled with golf but lacking wi-fi in my hotel room. I ended up playing six rounds over the long Presidents Day weekend, so I’ll split the reviews up two courses at a time and post the stories throughout this week. I... Continue Reading →
