After I finished at We-Ko-Pa (Cholla) on my day trip out to Arizona last week, I worked my way over to my second destination for the day. I did stop for a quick lunch at Silver Mine Subs, which just happened to catch my eye along the drive between courses. It turned out to be... Continue Reading →
Earlier this year, I had the pleasure of visiting We-Ko-Pa Golf Club for the first time and playing the Saguaro Course. On most major course ranking sites and in golf magazines, it is typically rated as one of the top public courses in the state of Arizona. Usually not too far down the list is... Continue Reading →
What started as a day trip out to Arizona turned into a two-day visit after some offers I could not refuse. With a round at Troon North being lined up for Thursday morning, I needed something for the afternoon. The plans came together fairly last minute, so I looked around all the booking sites and...

The final day of my recent trip to the Phoenix area found me on the west side of town before I headed home Saturday evening. One of the main stops on the trip was the biggest group outing lined up for greenskeeper.org at Grandview Golf Course in the Sun City West community. Again, this is... Continue Reading →
The main round for Friday was at The Boulders Golf Club in Carefree, AZ. We were there representing greenskeeper.org and they were very generous to offer us a $30 rate for two tee times starting at 10:00. We ended up only having five players, which was surprising considering this was such a great deal. Tee... Continue Reading →
The first day of my recent Arizona trip found me playing 36 holes. I played Desert Mountain (Cochise) in the morning and then played an afternoon round at Quintero Golf Club with a group from greenskeeper.org. I had already played Quintero before, so I am not going to it review it again this time around.... Continue Reading →
Last week, I took a 3-day trip out to the Phoenix/Scottsdale area. I always like any excuse to visit Arizona for golf, so I end up out that way a few times a year. This was more of a social trip centered around a few rounds with folks with fellow greenskeeper.org members, so it wasn't... Continue Reading →
If all goes as planned (knocking on wood as I write), I will be playing my 1,000th golf course on Tuesday, July 17. It will be somewhere pretty special, so stay tuned. With that milestone in mind, I need to stay on pace with my new course count so that everything times out correctly with... Continue Reading →
After my warm-up round at The Duke at Rancho El Dorado, I headed a few miles down the road to Ak-Chin Southern Dunes Golf Club. Whereas The Duke is pretty much right in the small town of Maricopa, Ak-Chin Southern Dunes is much more isolated with no homes or signs of civilization around the course.... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I took a day trip out to Arizona. I did this a couple times last year with fun days in Wickenburg and Buckeye. The westside of Phoenix is a little easier to access coming from California (compared to Scottsdale or Mesa on the other side of the valley), so it's a good place to... Continue Reading →
