For the final review of my East Bay trip, I will look at the two courses at Las Positas Golf Course in Livermore. Here, they have the Signature 18 regulation course and the Links 9, which is a 9-hole par-3 course. Let's get right into it... Links 9 I had a 10:45 tee time on... Continue Reading →
2018 Christmas Trip, Part 2: Cave Junction, What’s Your Function?
For my fellow children of the 80s, that song should probably be stuck in your head already. Even though I got some nice weather days, I only ended up playing one round while I was visiting with family in Crescent City. The timing and opportunities just didn't work out. Unfortunately, Del Norte GC is currently... Continue Reading →

Robert Trent Jones Golf Trail - Grand National... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Links at Terranea
To round out another golf-filled weekend here in Southern California, my last stop today was at The Links at Terranea in beautiful Rancho Palos Verdes, CA. RPV gets plenty of attention from local golf-lovers. One of the area’s premier high-end courses is located here (Trump National Golf Club, formerly Ocean Trails) and so is one... Continue Reading →
