This has always been one of my favorites in Orange County, though I’ve only played here twice before because I don’t like playing in OC that much (especially on weekends when courses are both crowded and ridiculously overpriced). However, a friend of mine is a Creek Card member as of this year and they had... Continue Reading →
Updated Course Review: Coyote Hills Golf Course
It’s been a couple years since I played here, but I ventured up to Fullerton on Sunday to join my buddies in the Los Angeles Golf Group for a small tournament on this always fun course. I’ll keep this short and sweet as you and read my previous review for more thoughts and information on... 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 →
Silicon Valley Trip, Day 2: Quantity Over Quality
My main rounds of this trip took place on Saturday at San Juan Oaks and Eagle Ridge, but I wanted to make the most of my two days out of town and add a few more courses to the list. When it came to booking my golf on Sunday, I opted for affordability and convenience.... 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 →
Seeking Challenge in the Desert
Saturday took me out to one of my favorite places, the Coachella Valley. I was there to play an exciting double-dip in La Quinta that would challenge every aspect of my game. The main event for the day was a Greenskeeper.org tournament at the PGA West TPC Stadium course, but we also had a great... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Sierra La Verne Country Club
A friend turned me on to a “member for a day” deal this club was offering through May 10. The prices are $40 for weekday, $50 for weekend. With weekend availability, of course I jumped on the chance to play a new course at a reasonable guest rate. I even gathered up a group of... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Wood Ranch Golf Club
Another private club in the books. Wood Ranch, located in Simi Valley, is actually one of the more accessible courses around, but I had yet to play it until recently. Finally, the timing was right and I was able to sign up for one of their “member for a day” offers. They had booked me... 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 →
Wandering the Far Reaches of the Desert on Easter Sunday
Easter is usually a good golf day for me. I don’t really have any family obligations and it’s one of the rare holidays where the courses tend to be a little less busy. That really didn’t matter where I was headed, though, because where I played I can’t imagine the courses are ever too packed.... Continue Reading →
