As you may have noticed, the Central Valley is the next area I am trying to conquer in California. I’ve taken a couple trips up that way recently and hope to do more this summer. Yesterday, a friend and I took a day trip up that way and were able to knock out a couple... Continue Reading →
Course Update: The Links Championship at Summerly
Note: When this course was reopened, they altered the name to The Links Championship at Summerly. I has now gone back to the original, simpler name of The Links at Summerly. I wanted to post a new review about this course that is in the process of being resurrected. After struggling for several years, the... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Rancho Park Golf Course
After three long days of driving and playing golf throughout the Central Valley, I was back home on Sunday and on the course once again. I would have preferred a day of rest, but this round was already set up weeks ago and I didn’t want to bail out on my friends. One of my... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Spanish Hills Country Club
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 →
