On Monday, I made the drive up to Camarillo for an SCGA member outing at Spanish Hills Country Club. And I do mean “drive,” as it took me over three hours to get through LA traffic on a Monday morning. It took nearly that to get back home afterward, as well. It was a shotgun start...

Course Review: Dad Miller Golf Course
You guessed it. This was another low-end course on my replay list. I wasn’t necessarily planning to play on Saturday, but was feeling bored in the morning and started looking for tee times. There weren’t many exciting deals at any of my replay list courses, so Dad Miller Golf Course in Anaheim seemed like the... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Oceanside Golf Course
This was another on my replay list. This used to be a regular course in my group’s rotation because it was relatively convenient and reasonably priced amidst the golf boom. Because of this, I have a bit of a soft spot for the course. However, it’s been quite a few years since I’ve been here... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course
The mediocrity continues… On Tuesday, I headed down the street in Irvine to one of my local courses. I will say the convenience of Rancho San Joaquin has given it a little extra appeal for me personally. Still, I probably only play here every 3-5 years. In my experience, the prices always seem a bit... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Woodley Lakes Golf Course
On Friday, I continued my recent goal of replaying courses I hadn’t reviewed on the site yet. I’m in no rush to complete this list, but it’s something to do in between any rounds I can get at private clubs. A friend and I met up for a round at good old Woodley Lakes Golf... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Castle Creek Country Club
I realize the sad contrast of being at El Niguel and Big Canyon last week, and then going to Meadowlark and Castle Creek this week (I’ll also be visiting Woodley Lakes later today). It’s odd bouncing back and forth between great private clubs and low-end local tracks, but that’s the way things are for me... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Meadowlark Golf Club
On Tuesday, I decided to play an early morning round. It made sense to stay close to home in OC, as well as keep it affordable. As I looked at options on Tuesday night, Meadowlark GC in Huntington Beach seemed like the best deal. It was also another one to cross of my “replay” list since... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Big Canyon Country Club
On Wednesday, I had a rare opportunity to play another one of Orange County’s most exclusive private clubs, Big Canyon Country Club in Newport Beach. I’ve been looking forward to this round for awhile, ever since some friends and I went in on a charity auction package that included three awesome OC rounds. First, we... Continue Reading →
Course Review: El Niguel Country Club
On Monday, I stayed closed to home in Orange County. Some friends and I had signed up for a charity golf tournament at El Niguel Country Club in Laguna Niguel. The event was raising money for a great charity called Kids Konnected. It was an 11:00 shotgun start and a scramble playing format. We had... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Indian Hills Golf Club
Yesterday, I got back on my trend of playing courses that I haven’t reviewed yet on this site. Indian Hills Golf Club in Riverside was next on the list. I’ve been looking at their midweek deal times for awhile, so I finally went for it by booking a 9:53 tee time for only $15 through... Continue Reading →
