Normally I try to take advantage of some free golf deals on my birthday. However, this year a friend invited me to join him at Torrey Pines. We have been talking about lining up a round here for awhile, so I decided that was a pretty nice way to spend part of my birthday. My... 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 →
On Friday, I made what is now a long journey for me down to Coronado Island across the bay from downtown San Diego. Most people know about the nice municipal golf course on the island (Coronado Golf Course), but not as many people are familiar with the other course located on the north side of...

Yes, I realize I am a little late to the party on this one. However, I finally got around to playing the renovated Goat Hill Park golf course in Oceanside yesterday. Honestly, I’ve kind of been putting it off, though I knew I had to back there eventually. I’m not sure I had fully healed... Continue Reading →
Recently, I’ve been trying to get more aggressive in order to find ways to play some of the more obscure private short courses in Southern California. I’ve tried many strategies and have been successful at a few places so far. Some of these courses are the toughest to access. Most are parts of private residential... Continue Reading →
On Tuesday, I went down to Escondido in the afternoon. I finally decided it was time to go check out the recently renovated and reopened Boulder Oaks Golf Club. It used to be called Meadow Lake. You can click here to read my previous review if you want to compare pictures. When I first saw... Continue Reading →
This has been another productive week for me. I knew I had two rounds at SoCal private clubs lined up, but ended up getting to play five in the course of two days! June is already off to a fantastic start. On Wednesday, I was down in San Diego County all day having a whole... Continue Reading →
Did I mention I’d be busy this week? Well, I was back at it again today at another local private club. This time I was down in beautiful Rancho Santa Fe, which is such a hotbed of amazing golf. There are only private clubs in this town, so I have been working hard to access... Continue Reading →
This was another on my replay list. This used to be a regular course in my group’s rotation because it was relatively convenient and reasonably priced amidst the golf boom. Because of this, I have a bit of a soft spot for the course. However, it’s been quite a few years since I’ve been here... Continue Reading →
I realize the sad contrast of being at El Niguel and Big Canyon last week, and then going to Meadowlark and Castle Creek this week (I’ll also be visiting Woodley Lakes later today). It’s odd bouncing back and forth between great private clubs and low-end local tracks, but that’s the way things are for me... Continue Reading →
