After three long days of driving and playing golf throughout the Central Valley, I was back home on Sunday and on the course once again. I would have preferred a day of rest, but this round was already set up weeks ago and I didn’t want to bail out on my friends. One of my... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Meadowlark Golf Club
On Tuesday, I decided to play an early morning round. It made sense to stay close to home in OC, as well as keep it affordable. As I looked at options on Tuesday night, Meadowlark GC in Huntington Beach seemed like the best deal. It was also another one to cross of my “replay” list since... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Arrowhead Country Club
Note: At some point after I played here, this course turned public. Yesterday, I ventured out to San Bernardino to check out another private club. Admittedly, it was a bit weird playing golf in San Bernardino less than a week after the tragic and senseless shootings there. However, I just happened to get an invite... Continue Reading →
Course Review: Red Hill Country Club
On Thursday, I had a chance to play the historic Red Hill Country Club in Rancho Cucamonga. I signed up for an SCGA member outing and the rate of $60 was definitely reasonable, since most of those outings are rather expensive to play these private clubs. I was booked into the last group of the... Continue Reading →
A Little Piece of History in the Desert
On Sunday, I made my way out to the Coachella Valley once again. It’s that time of year when the temperatures are rising and the golf deals start getting better. My primary round on Sunday really wasn’t really a deal, but it was an opportunity to play a new course and check another one off... Continue Reading →
Course Review: San Clemente Golf Course
Yesterday, I went back and visited an old friend here in Orange County. By that, I mean I played San Clemente Golf Course for the first time in many years. This used to be a regular stop for me and I’ve always had a fondness for the course as one of the best overall values... 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: Saticoy Country Club
Note: They have since changed the name to simply The Saticoy Club. On Friday, I had the great opportunity to play Saticoy Country Club up in Somis (just outside of Ventura). This is one of those old private clubs I’ve always heard great things about, yet there was still some mystery to it as it’s... Continue Reading →
The Long and Short of North San Diego County
Saturday found me in North San Diego County, but it wasn’t an all-day adventure. I’ve been running myself a little ragged lately, so it was nice to still get in plenty of golf without wiping out my whole weekend. The first stop was a course I had played before, but have never reviewed on this... Continue Reading →
The San Diego Locals’ Double-Dip
Okay, so the ultimate 36-hole day for any San Diegan is Torrey Pines South/North, which I had the pleasure of experiencing earlier this year. I had to pay the non-resident rate there, whereas locals get to play those legendary courses for much more reasonable rates. Sunday, I had the opportunity to play the “other” two...
