It’s been awhile since I played this course, but I made a return visit there yesterday with a couple of friends. The main reason was because I had bought a deal voucher through Deal Caddy (GolfNow) that was set to expire at the end of the month and Saturday was my last opportunity I had... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Eagle Glen Golf Club
I played here on Saturday afternoon, but I’ve been gathering my thoughts about it since then. Unfortunately, it wasn’t a great experience on this visit to Eagle Glen, so I have some mixed emotions about it. This used to be one of my favorite courses in the Inland Empire. I have fond memories of playing... Continue Reading →
Two Different Sides of “Classic” LA Golf
Friday was another double-dip for me as I kept things a little closer to home. It started with a round on a busy and basic muni course and ended on one of the area’s lesser-known private tracks. Both offered some old school Los Angeles charm, but in two very different ways… Alondra Golf Course •... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Knollwood Country Club
With ugly weather in the forecast, I was undecided all week if I was going to play today. With the big year-end Greenskeeper.org event out at Indian Wells tomorrow, I had thoughts of heading out toward Palm Springs and staying the night, but playing out there in the poor weather this afternoon just didn’t have...

Where the Heck is Imperial County?
It wasn’t the most glamorous road trip I’ve ever taken (especially after being up in Monterey the week before), but it had to be done. It’s no secret I have been working fast and furiously toward my goal to play all the public, regulation 18-hole courses in Southern California. As I near the bottom of... Continue Reading →
The San Diego Locals’ Double-Dip
Okay, so the ultimate 36-hole day for any San Diegan is Torrey Pines South/North, which I had the pleasure of experiencing earlier this year. I had to pay the non-resident rate there, whereas locals get to play those legendary courses for much more reasonable rates. Sunday, I had the opportunity to play the “other” two...

Course Review: Chester Washington Golf Course
I played here Friday afternoon after a half day of work. It was a cheap and relatively convenient option. Most importantly, it is one of the few courses within an hour of where I work that I hadn’t played yet. The price was $32.40 through GolfNow for an 11:52 tee time. When I checked in,...

November in Vegas, Day 2: Pining for More
After a great first day in Henderson, the rest of the weekend went well with three more rounds played. In retrospect, I’m very happy with the five courses I ended up playing. There was a lot of diversity in terms of layout, challenge and scenery—an unexpected treat in an area where many courses tend to... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Golf Club at Rancho California
I visited this course last Sunday with a couple of golf buddies. We were looking for a place to play at a relatively inexpensive price and not a super long drive. Heading out to Murrieta is a bit more of a trek than we wanted, but the deal was enticing enough for this course. We... Continue Reading →
The Year of the Desert
After yesterday, I’ve decided to proclaim 2013 as the “year of the desert” when it comes to my Golf Nomad adventures. I’ve taken multiple trips to Arizona and Vegas (in fact, I’ll be up in Nevada next weekend so stay tuned), and I’ve visited part of Southern California’s high desert. And as you may have...
