Yesterday, I had the opportunity to visit this local course. Being that this club is part of a 55+ community, it was a tricky one to access. Thankfully, a friend had a client who lives here and was nice enough to invite us out for a round. Technically, there are 36 holes within this community.... 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: Arroyo Trabuco Golf Club
I kept it pretty simple this weekend with just one round planned on Sunday. I have a lot of golf coming up in the next few weeks, including a few birthday rounds this week and also my next out-of-state “Bogeys Across America” adventure next week. This weekend was so simple, in fact, that it was... Continue Reading →
Updated Course Review: Tijeras Creek Golf Club
This has always been one of my favorites in Orange County, though I’ve only played here twice before because I don’t like playing in OC that much (especially on weekends when courses are both crowded and ridiculously overpriced). However, a friend of mine is a Creek Card member as of this year and they had... Continue Reading →
Course Review(s): Coto de Caza Golf & Racquet Club
I took the day off from work on Tuesday to meet up for 36 holes with a new friend at his home club in South Orange County. This is one of those times where meeting my playing partner probably overshadowed the courses themselves. I made contact with my playing partner through the great golf social... Continue Reading →
Course Review: San Clemente Golf Course
Yesterday, I went back and visited an old friend here in Orange County. By that, I mean I played San Clemente Golf Course for the first time in many years. This used to be a regular stop for me and I’ve always had a fondness for the course as one of the best overall values... Continue Reading →
Course Review: San Juan Hills Golf Club
After watching the Americans choke away another Ryder Cup, I was happy to get out on Sunday afternoon for some golf of my own. It’s not often I play in Orange County, especially on a weekend. I always have mixed feelings about OC golf. I love the convenience of the idea geographically, but most courses... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Talega Golf Club
Friday found me with a half day off from work, so I was looking for something interesting a little closer to home for an afternoon round. I found a 1:36 tee time at Talega Golf Club on Click4TeeTimes for $49. It was not exactly as cheap as I was hoping to find, but it’s a... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Monarch Beach Golf Links
With all apologies to folks in other parts of the country, the weather in Southern California has been amazing lately. Today presented an opportunity to get a half-day off of work and I knew I’d be able to get some good golf in. As I searched for online tee times this morning, there were many... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Tijeras Creek Golf Club
I played out here mid-week after work. The main excuse to get out was for my first-round match in the GK Cup match play tournament for Greenskeeper.org. With the OB Sports discount card I recently won in a raffle at a GK event, I was able to get my partner and I a good rate... Continue Reading →
