It's no secret that I love mountain golf, which is why I had been looking forward to this trip for awhile. There are several courses in this Lost Sierra/Plumas County region that I've been dying to play for years, so it was rewarding to see it all come together in one whirlwind visit. I've been...

We're going to go a little out of order as I review the various courses from my most recent Northern California trip that took me all over the "Lost Sierra" and down into the Truckee/Tahoe area once again.

I recently returned from another very productive Northern California trip, which kind of evolved into what will likely be my final "big" golf vacation this year. We shall see. This trip saw me returning to the greater Lake Tahoe region, where I played a few more courses on the California side (the northwestern side). The... Continue Reading →

As mentioned in Part 2, I ended up playing four rounds of golf on Friday during my quick trip to California’s Gold Country on the western edge of the Sierras. After quick morning rounds at Mountain Springs and Twain Harte, I kept things rolling with another short course for round 3… Phoenix Lake Golf Course... Continue Reading →
Day two of my quick visit to California’s Gold Country took me to four courses in a whirlwind day of golf. I will cover the first two courses in this article, since I need to do a better job of spacing out my content. Each article will feature one full-length course and one 9-hole short...
