I told you all about my visit to San Diego Country Club the other day. That round was certainly the “main event” for that day of golf. But as you’ve come to expect from me, it definitely wasn’t the only golf I played that day. In fact, I played two additional rounds—one before and one... Continue Reading →
Course Review: San Diego Country Club
Actually, I played three rounds the other day (yes, I am aware I have a problem), but I am splitting up the reviews a little differently this time. I played “warm-up” and “cool-down” rounds at Cottonwood Golf Club (Lakes) and Bonita Golf Course. I’ll get the reviews and photos up from those rounds later this... Continue Reading →
Wrapping Up My Labor Day Weekend
Most times I get a three-day weekend, I’ll take a little road trip. But I’ve already had plenty of those this summer and a couple more coming up soon, so I figured I’d keep it close to home over the Labor Day holiday. Well, “close to home” by my standards. After two rounds out in... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Pala Mesa Golf Resort
A friend and I played out here this morning. With the combination of an ezlinks.com tee time and a Groupon discount, we were able to get out for less than $30 a piece. It was a really good deal for a 6:45 Saturday tee time. We teed off right about on time and it wasn’t... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Woods Valley Golf Club
I ended up down in the San Diego area again this morning, even though the traffic coming back is always brutal. San Clemente is always one big parking lot on Sunday afternoons and it’s never fun, but sometimes you have to make that sacrifice for good golf. The reason I went to Woods Valley is...

Birthday Bonanza 2013!
Last year, I made the most of my birthday with three free rounds up in Ventura County. This year, I kept things a little closer to home…well, kind of. My Wednesday started with a visit to an Orange County course with one of the best birthday deals around. Tustin Ranch Golf Club • Tustin, CA •... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Maderas Golf Club
2013 has been a productive year for me when it comes to playing some of San Diego County’s more expensive courses. When I first made my full wish list, I figured it would take awhile to chip away at all the high-end options down there, but I’ve been able to take advantage of a few... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Carlton Oaks Golf Club
On Sunday, a friend and I drove down to Santee (just east of San Diego) to check out this course. I had previously purchased a voucher on Underpar.com that was a great deal. It was $74 for two players and included a same-day replay round, so $37 a piece was a steal for this course... Continue Reading →
So Many Oak Trees, So Little Time
I have a lot to get caught up on after a busy weekend of golf. It took me about halfway through my round yesterday to realize that, though I went all over the place the past two days, there actually was a theme to it all: oak trees! I do think they are a beautiful... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Grand Golf Club
I had the pleasure of taking the day off of work and playing this course yesterday. It was a casual outing with the SCGA. Unlike the official tournament I played in last weekend at Lakewood, it was a more relaxed get-together. Throughout the year, they set up these outings on private courses and high-end tracks...
