It’s been a number of years since I first played Oak Valley out in Beaumont, but it’s a course I’ve been dying to go play again. Now that I’m in a position to start going back and replaying some of my local favorites (especially those that I haven’t reviewed on this site), the timing was... Continue Reading →
Tri-State Trip, Day 1: Warming Up on the West Side of the River
Okay, I have a lot to get caught up on after a busy weekend filled with golf but lacking wi-fi in my hotel room. I ended up playing six rounds over the long Presidents Day weekend, so I’ll split the reviews up two courses at a time and post the stories throughout this week. I... Continue Reading →
Unfinished Business and Close Calls
Believe it or not, it was another busy golf weekend for me. The weather has been so beautiful here in Southern California I could not stay away. I played two rounds on Saturday, which I’ll review here, and one round on Sunday, which I’ll review later this week. The main event for Saturday was another... Continue Reading →
Coming Full Circle in the Desert
It was almost a year-and-a-half ago that I started this little blog. Time certainly does fly. My first story was a review of an overnight trip I took to the Coachella Valley in October of 2011. So, the first course I ever reviewed was The Golf Club at Terra Lago (South). My stories have evolved... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Goose Creek Golf Club
Prepare for a vast departure from the last few course reviews I’ve posted. After some disappointing rounds up in LA County in recent weeks, I found redemption Sunday at Goose Creek Golf Club in Mira Loma (just west of Riverside along the I-15 corridor). I went out there yesterday for the first LA Golf Group... Continue Reading →
Different Strokes for Different Folks
If yesterday’s golf adventure was a college art project, it would have been entitled “A Study in Contrast.” It was another interesting day out on the links in the Inland Empire with two vastly different courses played. But I had a lot of fun during both rounds, which just proves the fact there’s many ways... Continue Reading →
Another GK Day: Mt. Woodson Golf Club
Yesterday, I played in my second Greenskeeper.org event. I really enjoyed my first one at Eagle Falls earlier this year and Mt. Woodson has always been one of my favorite courses in Southern California (it’s been years since I last played there), so I’d been looking forward to it. I got there nice and early...

GK Saturday in Indio
Yesterday, the latest Greenskeeper.org “casual” golf outing was held at Eagle Falls Golf Course in Indio, CA. Several times throughout the year, they organize these group events for fellow GKers to get together for some good times and good golf. Though I’ve been a member of the site for many years, I’ve really gotten more... Continue Reading →
Palm Springs Area – Overnight Trip, Oct. 2011
As I begin posting on the Golf Nomad blog, I am kind of working my way backward through some of my golf adventures. I’ve taken a few mini-trips this year to get just far enough away to feel like I’m on vacation and also get to play some great courses that require a bit more... Continue Reading →
