The finale of my Thanksgiving weekend local golf adventure found me at Twin Oaks Golf Course down in San Marcos. It’s a course I’ve been wanting to play for some time, so today was finally the day. I didn’t know much about this course prior to earlier this year. I was playing a round at... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort
You could say Black Friday came a day early. After all, when it came to golf on this Thanksgiving Day, the deals were aplenty. The one I couldn’t resist, however, was GolfNow’s “hot deal” rate at Rancho Bernardo Inn Golf Resort. They had a nice late morning time (10:56) for $50. On top of that,... Continue Reading →
Major Heat and Minor Disappointments in San Diego
Yesterday, I spent another day down in San Diego County, exploring a couple of courses I hadn’t played before. There are still quite a few courses down there I’ve yet to check out, so I was scouring GolfNow all week in search of the best deals. The best deal I saw was a 12:06 tee... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Sierra Lakes Golf Club
Sierra Lakes is a course I’ve always heard nice things about, so I’ve been wanting to check it out for awhile. Today seemed like a fitting time to go out there, as well. In a couple of weeks, I’ll be playing golf in Kentucky. And Fontana, where Sierra Lakes is located, is often mockingly referred... Continue Reading →

Friday afternoon, I did my usual GolfNow sweep, looking for deals at SoCal courses I haven’t played yet. I ultimately found a $47 early bird... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Menifee Lakes Country Club (Lakes Course)
With the big storm on Friday, I decided not to book anything for Saturday morning. I figured I’d get up, see what the weather was looking like and then make my decision. When I got up and looked outside, there wasn’t a cloud in the sky. It was another good day for golf! I ended... 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,...

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 →
