Get ready for a barrage of private club reviews these next two weeks. It just so happens a number of outings were lined up, so I’ll be busy. Next up was today’s round at Los Coyotes Country Club in Buena Park. Though they do have “member for a day” outings here from time to time, they... 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: Lomas Santa Fe Country Club
As I continue my quest to everything I can, I look for any opportunity to play private clubs. Yesterday, I was able to sign up for a “member for a day” outing at Lomas Santa Fe Country Club in Solana Beach. The name may sound familiar because there is another course there, Lomas Santa Fe...

Course Review: Lake Arrowhead Country Club
It was another productive weekend for me as I got to check two more private clubs off my Southern California list. On Friday, I made my way back up to the mountains to play Lake Arrowhead Country Club. Some friends and I signed up for a charity tournament here. It was the Ted Roy Foundation... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Sandpiper Golf Club
It was a really busy weekend for me, so I am still getting caught up. On Sunday, I headed up the coast to the Santa Barbara area to meet up with the Greenskeeper.org crew for another fun “GK Plays” outing at the famed Sandpiper Golf Club. I played the course once before, but it has... Continue Reading →
Billy Bell, Wind Chill and Fast Greens: November Golf in the High Desert
I reviewed the high desert short courses I played on Saturday already, but decided to group these next two full-size courses together as a somewhat natural pairing in an area where good golf options are relatively few and far between. I ended up in the high desert region two days in a row. Once the... Continue Reading →
The Hosts with the Most
Saturday was a great day of golf made possible by some new friends. I got to play two Southern California private clubs alongside members, which gave me a little taste of the good life that comes to belonging to exclusive country clubs. Of course, I love lots of variety when it comes to the courses... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Los Verdes Golf Course
I played here today in a one-day SCGA tournament. I’ve participated in a couple of these events in the past, but today was mainly about having a convenient excuse to come back and revisit Los Verdes. The only other time I played here was quite a few years ago. I really liked the course then,... Continue Reading →
The Highs and Lows of California
It has been a busy summer already, but I can’t let a three-day holiday weekend go by without hitting the road for another little golf trip. I decided to do something special on Saturday. I actually had this planned for the first day of my Tahoe trip a few weeks ago. That never happened because... Continue Reading →
Course Review: California Country Club
There are two private courses that go by the initials of CCC in Whittier. I had the chance to play Candlewood Country Club earlier this year. I ended up liking that course a lot, so I was excited to play California Country Club yesterday. This is one that’s been on my radar for awhile. Though... Continue Reading →
