Exactly seven years ago today, a friend and I drove out to the Coachella Valley for a quick overnight golf trip that found us playing a whopping two courses before heading home. We played the South Course at The Golf Club at Terra Lago one day and then the Dunes Course at La Quinta Resort... Continue Reading →
The final day of my recent trip to the Phoenix area found me on the west side of town before I headed home Saturday evening. One of the main stops on the trip was the biggest group outing lined up for greenskeeper.org at Grandview Golf Course in the Sun City West community. Again, this is... Continue Reading →
After my warm-up round at The Duke at Rancho El Dorado, I headed a few miles down the road to Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club. Whereas The Duke is pretty much right in the small town of Maricopa, Ak-Chin Southern Dunes is much more isolated with no homes or signs of civilization around the course.... Continue Reading →
This weekend, I was back in Las Vegas. I was there for a quick trip just a couple weeks ago. On that trip, I checked out a few courses on the southeast side of town around Henderson. On this visit, I was focused more on the northwest side of town around Summerlin. The reason for... Continue Reading →
This past weekend, I spent two quick days in Las Vegas. I was actually there for work, to attend a trade show on Friday and Saturday afternoons. As it works out, I had both mornings free and of course I used it as an opportunity to check a few more courses off my list! I... 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 →
After a quick morning round at General Old on Saturday, my friend and I had plenty of energy and daylight left over. As we looked at tee time deals, two courses in Hemet stood out. We chose to play Diamond Valley as the better of the two options, but we also ended up playing Hemet... Continue Reading →
It’s hard to believe I’ve never reviewed these courses on this site. It’s even harder for me to believe that I’ve only played here once. It was many years ago, back when it was first opened as the SCPGA Golf Club. Since then, it’s been through several ownership and name changes, coinciding with the roller... Continue Reading →
