A half-day off from work Friday set me off on a roundabout little overnight trip to visit some of the more out-of-the way courses remaining on my list. The first afternoon was spent up in the high desert in Apple Valley… Apple Valley Golf Club • Apple Valley, CA • 2/7/14 I’ve been trying to... Continue Reading →
November in Vegas, Day 2: Pining for More
After a great first day in Henderson, the rest of the weekend went well with three more rounds played. In retrospect, I’m very happy with the five courses I ended up playing. There was a lot of diversity in terms of layout, challenge and scenery—an unexpected treat in an area where many courses tend to... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Vellano Country Club
Note: This course is now closed. Though I had no plans to play golf Sunday, I found myself a bit antsy in the morning. Also, I’ve had a growing curiosity about this course in Chino Hills that recently opened for public play. This once private club is now open to the public all day on... Continue Reading →

Tomorrow is my marquee round for the weekend. I usually don’t play on Sundays during NFL season, but my team (Atlanta, 6-0... 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 →
Course Review: Sierra Lakes Golf Club
Sierra Lakes is a course I’ve always heard nice things about, so I’ve been wanting to check it out for awhile. Today seemed like a fitting time to go out there, as well. In a couple of weeks, I’ll be playing golf in Kentucky. And Fontana, where Sierra Lakes is located, is often mockingly referred... Continue Reading →
