Let me start this review by stating that I don’t hate River View as much as most people do. I certainly don’t love it, but it is what it is. River View features a very wacky layout, to say the least. The unconventional scorecard features seven par-3’s, five par-5’s and six par-4’s. So in some... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Golf Club of California
I played at The Golf Club of California in Fallbrook yesterday. I had a groupgolfer.com voucher I needed to use before it expired. It was good only weekends only after 11:00, so I called ahead in the morning and they said they had a group right at 11:00 I could join as a single, which... Continue Reading →
Match Play Weekend: The Highs and Lows
Well, this past weekend was all about “match play.” As I’ve mentioned, I signed up for the GK Cup Match Play tournament on Greenskeeper.org. This was my first year participating, so my expectations weren’t too high because I haven’t really played much competitive golf and match play is a different mindset than normal. Either way,...

Three weeks ago, I visited Green River. Two weeks ago, I went down and played Escondido Country Club for... Continue Reading →
Another Visit to California’s Central Coast

I always enjoy my trips up the Central Coast—just far enough outside of the city to feel like a true getaway, but still close enough it’s not too much... Continue Reading →
Centrally Located for Great Golf in the Southland
I’ve never been a huge fan of golf in Orange County. Sure, there are some great courses , but they are always way overpriced (especially on weekends when I play most). There are a few good deals to be found on the local munis, but those are WAY too overcrowded on weekends! So even though... Continue Reading →
Weekend Golf Adventures in the Southland
After a few weeks off from golf, I got back to it this weekend with a vengeance. I had some ideas heading into the weekend, but nothing quite went as planned. However, everything worked out even better than I would have hoped. My original plan for Saturday was to drive out to the Coachella Valley.... Continue Reading →
Palm Springs Area – Overnight Trip, Oct. 2011
As I begin posting on the Golf Nomad blog, I am kind of working my way backward through some of my golf adventures. I’ve taken a few mini-trips this year to get just far enough away to feel like I’m on vacation and also get to play some great courses that require a bit more... Continue Reading →
