As I’ve mentioned in previous posts about my “to do” list in San Diego County, I primarily have muni courses, military courses and higher-end resort courses left on my list. It’s been making it a little harder to chip away at my SoCal list in that region, especially when I’ve been finding a lot of... Continue Reading →
Breaking the 300 Barrier – A Day at Torrey Pines
I wrote about my adventures on Saturday at Encinitas Ranch and the Kia Classic at Aviara. I haven’t posted a story yet about my round Sunday afternoon at Tierra Rejada with the LA Golf Group, but I promise to get that up later this week. That’s because I wanted to skip ahead to my milestone... Continue Reading →
Event Review: LPGA Kia Classic
One big reason I chose to play Encinitas Ranch yesterday is because it was a geographic excuse to stop by Aviara Golf Resort and check out the LPGA Kia Classic in the afternoon. Originally, I was planning to volunteer at this event this year, but the timing didn’t work out. Hopefully next year I’ll be... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Encinitas Ranch Golf Course
It was a long day in North San Diego County. Part of it involved me playing a little golf (hence this review) and the other part involved me watching a little golf played at a much higher level than I’m used to seeing (more on that later). Today’s course selection was Encinitas Ranch Golf Course... Continue Reading →
Back to South San Diego County Again
It’s actually been a couple months since I went down into San Diego County for some golf. I ventured down there a lot last year and was able to cross quite a few courses off my “to do” list. What’s making it hard now is that I’ve eliminated all but a few of the easy-to-access... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Twin Oaks Golf Course
The finale of my Thanksgiving weekend local golf adventure found me at Twin Oaks Golf Course down in San Marcos. It’s a course I’ve been wanting to play for some time, so today was finally the day. I didn’t know much about this course prior to earlier this year. I was playing a round at... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort
You could say Black Friday came a day early. After all, when it came to golf on this Thanksgiving Day, the deals were aplenty. The one I couldn’t resist, however, was GolfNow’s “hot deal” rate at Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort. They had a nice late morning time (10:56) for $50. On top of that,... Continue Reading →
Back to the Grind
Well, after a much-needed weekend off last week, I was back at it yesterday. I was ready to cross a couple more courses off my list as I look to 300 and beyond. I still have quite a ways to go to reach one of my goals of playing everything in Southern California (and by... Continue Reading →
Major Heat and Minor Disappointments in San Diego
Yesterday, I spent another day down in San Diego County, exploring a couple of courses I hadn’t played before. There are still quite a few courses down there I’ve yet to check out, so I was scouring GolfNow all week in search of the best deals. The best deal I saw was a 12:06 tee... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Meadow Lake Golf Club
Note: This course was significantly renovated and renamed Boulder Oaks Golf Club. Check out the more recent review here. I played out here this morning with a few buddies. It was my second time playing Meadow Lake in Escondido, but I remembered it being a fun layout with a handful of scenic views. Having played... Continue Reading →
