I had a half-day off from work on Friday, so I made the long drive up to the high desert in Palmdale to play Antelope Valley Country Club with a group of friends. A little while back, we had all bought “member for a day” vouchers through MoreGolfToday.com. The deal was a reasonable $45 and... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Knollwood Country Club
With ugly weather in the forecast, I was undecided all week if I was going to play today. With the big year-end Greenskeeper.org event out at Indian Wells tomorrow, I had thoughts of heading out toward Palm Springs and staying the night, but playing out there in the poor weather this afternoon just didn’t have...

Enjoying Some of Santa Barbara County’s Best Golf
The Santa Barbara area is known for many things, and local golfers know it as a hotbed of quality courses. There’s not much in terms of quantity, but the quality is undeniable. I had the opportunity to play two of the area’s best courses yesterday on a picture perfect day. The Ranch Course at The... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Harding Golf Course
I teed it up here on Sunday. I’m not sure how it came to this, but in all my years of playing golf in Southern California I had never played either of the main Griffith Park courses (there is also a 9-hole course, Roosevelt, located in a different section of the park). I knew they... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Costa Mesa Country Club (Los Lagos)
It’s been several years since I played this course. I used to play it a lot back in the day. I worked right down the street, so some co-workers and I would go out at least once a month to play on a Friday afternoon. I still go out to Costa Mesa once or twice... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Whittier Narrows Golf Course
Today was a more eventful day as I played Malibu Golf Club with the Greenskeeper.org crew, but I will post that story tomorrow so stay tuned… I wanted to get caught up on the round I played Friday at Whittier Narrows Golf Course in Rosemead. Though not the most exciting round I’ll ever play, I... Continue Reading →
Marathon Day in the Desert, Part 2: Palm Desert Country Club
After 36 relatively quick holes in the morning at Cimarron, I decided I wasn’t quite done for the day. This seems like a nice time to play out in the desert because the prices are starting to go down a bit, but the conditions are still great at most courses. I wanted to take advantage...

Breaking the 300 Barrier – A Day at Torrey Pines
I wrote about my adventures on Saturday at Encinitas Ranch and the Kia Classic at Aviara. I haven’t posted a story yet about my round Sunday afternoon at Tierra Rejada with the LA Golf Group, but I promise to get that up later this week. That’s because I wanted to skip ahead to my milestone... Continue Reading →
Course Review: La Mirada Golf Course
I took a half day off from work today and headed up to La Mirada Golf Course. With the days still being relatively short and the fact that I’ve played pretty much all of Orange County’s courses (other than Pelican Hill’s North Course, which is not in my budget right now), my options are limited... Continue Reading →
Course Review: The Links at Victoria Golf Course
Ever wonder what Olivas Links would look like after a nuclear attack? Wonder no more. Just visit The Links at Victoria Golf Course in Carson, CA. This course has a reputation for being a nightmare condition-wise, so I couldn’t have been too surprised. But sometimes you have to see it to believe it. Given that Carson is a very...
