Another day, another round of golf. Such is the way of the Golf Nomad. Today, I headed up to Palmdale, CA in the high desert northeast of Los Angeles. My course choice was Rancho Vista Golf Club. It’s a course I’ve always heard pretty good things about, with it’s only drawback being that it’s rather... Continue Reading →
Course Review: La Mirada Golf Course
I took a half day off from work today and headed up to La Mirada Golf Course. With the days still being relatively short and the fact that I’ve played pretty much all of Orange County’s courses (other than Pelican Hill’s North Course, which is not in my budget right now), my options are limited...

A Rematch with Scholl Canyon
Well, this probably won’t be one of the longer reviews I write. It wasn’t long ago that I played Scholl Canyon Golf Course in Glendale as part of the LA Golf Group I belong to. We played out there last summer in our “Three-Club Monte” event, where players are limited to just three clubs in... Continue Reading →
Frigid, Frosty Fun in Paso Robles
After the chilly weather I encountered yesterday in San Luis Obispo, I had a feeling today would present similar challenges as I planned to play my next course... The Links Course at Paso Robles • Paso Robles, CA • 2/10/13 Even though I knew this course would be nothing super exciting, it was the “excuse”... Continue Reading →
Back to South San Diego County Again
It’s actually been a couple months since I went down into San Diego County for some golf. I ventured down there a lot last year and was able to cross quite a few courses off my “to do” list. What’s making it hard now is that I’ve eliminated all but a few of the easy-to-access... 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 →
Course Review: The Links at Victoria Golf Course
Ever wonder what Olivas Links would look like after a nuclear attack? Wonder no more. Just visit The Links at Victoria Golf Course in Carson, CA. This course has a reputation for being a nightmare condition-wise, so I couldn’t have been too surprised. But sometimes you have to see it to believe it. Given that Carson is a very...

Course Review: Brookside Golf Club (E.O. Nay Course #2)
I had been to Brookside Golf Club once before. I can remember it well, because it was one of the most miserable golf experiences of my life. A friend and I went out there in the dead of summer to play the #1 course (now named after C.W. Koiner, whoever that is). It was a... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Porter Valley Country Club
I don’t devote much time on this blog to focus on private golf courses. I’m a pretty regular guy without too many “connections,” but every once in awhile I get a chance to check out a private club. That was the case today when I visited Porter Valley Country Club in Northridge. This course opens... Continue Reading →
Course Reviews: Indian Wells Golf Resort
I’ve been spending an unusual amount of time out in the Coachella Valley this winter. Normally, I prefer playing out here in the summer to get the best savings, but I’ve been stumbling upon some decent deals. And once you start playing out here in the winter with cooler temperatures and excellent course conditions, you... Continue Reading →
