Yes, I am aware that it’s a little funny that, of all courses I could have picked to play today, I picked the one with “Amigos” in the name. In fact, it’s one of the reasons I chose it. If you are unaware of why this might be a tiny bit funny, just check out... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Journey at Pechanga
Three-word review: Worth the wait! Long-winded review: Wow! What a difference a week makes. Last Sunday, I was slated to play the highly touted Journey at Pechanga course for the first time. However, the weather was so ugly when I showed up, that I decided to cancel my tee time and play Summerly instead. I... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Links at Summerly
Well, if you read yesterday’s post, you are probably expecting to see a course review for Journey at Pechanga here. Things don’t always go as planned. I got up this morning, eager to get out to Temecula and finally tee it up on that highly regarded course. I was excited to be taking advantage of... Continue Reading →
Crossing a Couple More Off My List
So, the life of the Golf Nomad is not always so glamourous. Sometimes you have to dig through some coal before you get to the diamonds. That’s what today’s story is all about. Tomorrow is my marquee round for the weekend. I usually don’t play on Sundays during NFL season, but my team (Atlanta, 6-0... Continue Reading →
Back to the Grind
Well, after a much-needed weekend off last week, I was back at it yesterday. I was ready to cross a couple more courses off my list as I look to 300 and beyond. I still have quite a ways to go to reach one of my goals of playing everything in Southern California (and by... Continue Reading →
Different Strokes for Different Folks
If yesterday’s golf adventure was a college art project, it would have been entitled “A Study in Contrast.” It was another interesting day out on the links in the Inland Empire with two vastly different courses played. But I had a lot of fun during both rounds, which just proves the fact there’s many ways... Continue Reading →
Course Review: California Oaks Golf Course
This Murrieta course used to be called The Colony and was a par-65 “executive” layout at one time. However, they updated the course and stretched it into a “regulation” par-70 track. And somewhere along the way, they decided to rename it California Oaks. I played out here this morning and it was my first time... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Aliso Creek Inn & Golf Course
Note: This course has gone by several different names over the years. I believe it is currently Ben Brown's Golf Course at the Ranch. It has previously been known as The Ranch at Laguna Beach, as well. It was Aliso Creek Inn when I played it. I played here this evening with a friend and... Continue Reading →
Major Heat and Minor Disappointments in San Diego
Yesterday, I spent another day down in San Diego County, exploring a couple of courses I hadn’t played before. There are still quite a few courses down there I’ve yet to check out, so I was scouring GolfNow all week in search of the best deals. The best deal I saw was a 12:06 tee... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Moreno Valley Ranch Golf Club
Note: This course was closed for several years, but was reopened in 2020 with a new name of Rancho Del Sol Golf Club. It is now only 18 holes, comprised of what used to be the Valley and Mountain nines. Read the full updated review here. It’s been quite a few years since I last... Continue Reading →
