This is a busy golf week for me, but it’s been fun with a lot of diverse courses in play. I haven’t done a Short Course Blitz in a long while, and this article barely qualifies as one since I played these three courses on three separate days and they are located all over the... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Red Hill Country Club
On Thursday, I had a chance to play the historic Red Hill Country Club in Rancho Cucamonga. I signed up for an SCGA member outing and the rate of $60 was definitely reasonable, since most of those outings are rather expensive to play these private clubs. I was booked into the last group of the... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Santaluz Club
On Monday, I had a chance to play The Santaluz Club down in San Diego as part of an SCGA member outing. It was a pretty small group this time, so it worked out nicely. I guess there was some major traffic on one of the routes in (thankfully not mine), so people were running... Continue Reading →
A Little Piece of History in the Desert
On Sunday, I made my way out to the Coachella Valley once again. It’s that time of year when the temperatures are rising and the golf deals start getting better. My primary round on Sunday really wasn’t really a deal, but it was an opportunity to play a new course and check another one off... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Bernardo Heights Country Club
I played out here on Saturday in an SCGA member outing. It’s rare they hold these on weekends, but they are becoming a little more frequent and I’m always happy to sign up when it’s a course I haven’t played. It was a 1:30 shotgun start, but the traffic on the I-5 was brutal and... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Stone Eagle Golf Club
This course has been on my wish list for a few years, since I came across an article about it in Southland Golf Magazine and was intrigued by the photos. It’s one of the many private clubs in the Coachella Valley that you don’t hear that much about, so it’s always held some mysterious appeal... Continue Reading →
Course Review: MountainGate Country Club
I still have a ton of SoCal private clubs to try and play, but I was recently able to check one more off the list. MountainGate is always a course I’ve been intrigued by. You see it perched atop the hillside along the I-405 near the Getty Center. You can tell it’s a very hilly... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Rolling Hills Country Club
Note: This course has been completely renovated and redesigned by David McLay Kidd. This review is of the original layout that is basically no longer there. I haven't yet played the new course, but I hope to someday. Any invites are appreciated. : ) In my never-ending quest to play new courses, my sights have... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Hacienda Golf Club
I was excited to play this course as part of an SCGA member outing. I’ve always heard some great things about this club. Though not usually mentioned in the same breath with classic, high-end LA clubs like Riviera, LACC or Bel Air, I’ve always gotten the sense that members here have held this place in...

Course Review: Dove Canyon Golf Club
On Monday, I had the opportunity to play this great course with another SCGA member outing. The price was $80 (which included a pretty decent BBQ spread at the turn) and the weather was absolutely gorgeous on a crisp fall morning in South Orange County. Dove Canyon is a nice high-end community right next to... Continue Reading →
