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 →
Course Review: Monterey Country Club
Yesterday, I was able to visit another private club in Southern California. I made my way out to Palm Desert for a round at Monterey Country Club. I was signed up for an SCGA one-day tournament there next week, so a friend and I were able to arrange for a practice round this week. The... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Redlands Country Club
I’ve played some really junky low-level courses in recent weeks as I work through my ‘replay” list of local courses that haven’t yet been reviewed on the site. However, those are mostly just inexpensive filler in between the more meaningful rounds. As spring and summer approach, I should have more opportunities to play private clubs... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Fallbrook Golf Club
On Saturday, a friend and I made our way down to Fallbrook. The late morning traffic was pretty miserable, but we made it just in time for our 12:30 tee time at Fallbrook Golf Club. Playing Fallbrook this weekend satisfied a couple of needs. First, it was on my “replay” list since I had never... Continue Reading →
Course Review: California Golf & Art Country Club
Note: Since I posted this review, the course changed its name back to Cherry Hills Golf Course. In a weird way, I’ve been having some fun revisiting some of these courses that I played long before the blog. However, there are a few “undesirables” on the list that I knew I would eventually have to... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Upland Hills Country Club
As I continue to slowly but surely work my way back through some of the local courses that I have never reviewed here, I am driven by deals. Fortunately, a majority of my list is lower-end tracks (a lot of county and muni courses), so I’m able to look for a really good price and... Continue Reading →
Course Review: San Dimas Canyon Golf Course
On Thursday, I took a most excellent adventure up to San Dimas (yes, the hometown of Bill & Ted) to play San Dimas Canyon Golf Course. This is a course I’ve always had a fondness for, though it has been several years since I last played there. As a LA County course, deals aren’t always... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Black Gold Golf Club
Yesterday, I stayed close to home for an afternoon round at Black Gold Golf Club in Yorba Linda. It’s a course I’ve been wanting to revisit and get a fresh experience. The only other time I played here was many years ago. I remember liking the course somewhat, but I didn’t love it. And, like... Continue Reading →
