One of the main reasons for my recent golf trip to the Silicon Valley was because I had a chance to play Stanford Golf Course. This is the university's course and it is considered a private club reserved for members, students and faculty/staff. Naturally, it is home to the Stanford University golf team (who can...

Hooray! We finally made it through all six days of my epic Northern California/Nevada golf adventure from a few weeks ago—just in time for my next trip a week from now! After 4 days in the Tahoe/Reno area and another in Monterey, the final day of my trip took me to Alameda in the East... Continue Reading →
On Friday afternoon, I was out in the Los Angeles area and I was able to tee it up at Woodland Hills Country Club in Woodland Hills. I was able to arrange a preview round with the club and I was excited to finally play this course. It seems I know a lot of people... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I went and played Virginia Country Club in Long Beach, CA for the first time. This one has been on my wish list for a long time, but opportunities to access this private club are very few and far between. The few charity tournaments I have seen there have been ridiculously expensive. A friend... Continue Reading →
Last Tuesday, I spent the whole day in Glendale. You’ve already read about my special round at Oakmont Country Club. Well, there was one more private club in town that I was able to play that day: Chevy Chase Country Club. I reached out to the club in advance and they were nice enough to... Continue Reading →
This weekend, I made my way up to California’s Central Valley. It turned out to be a very interesting and fruitful trip. It all started when a friend (and fellow course collector) was able to set up a round at the private Sunnyside Country Club in Fresno on Saturday afternoon. I wasn’t too excited about...

I recently posted my reviews of the Wickenburg Ranch courses (Big Wick/Li’l Wick). That’s the new golf mecca in town. However, there are two older courses also located in Wickenburg. I had the opportunity to play them both on Saturday afternoon during a productive 63-hole day... Los Caballeros Golf Club • Wickenburg, AZ • 5/6/17... Continue Reading →
After two days of fun with the Greenskeeper.org group, I stayed over on Sunday night in Vegas in order to squeeze in a couple more rounds on Monday. Really, my list for public courses in this area is getting kind of short, but I was able to check off two more… Las Vegas Golf Club... Continue Reading →
Yesterday, I made my way out to the Rancho Palos Verdes peninsula to check another great private course off my list. Palos Verdes Golf Club is one I’ve been looking forward to playing a long time, but it wasn’t until now that I was able to work it out. The SCGA usually does at least... Continue Reading →
This week found me playing four days in a row at different local private clubs. Needless to say, it was a fun week that just happened to line up and net me four new courses for my list. In theory, I saved the best for last. I say “in theory” because Newport Beach Country Club is... Continue Reading →
