Picacho Hills Country Club Course Review

Our last course review in Las Cruces is my personal favorite. Picacho Hills Country Club is a private course, stretching just over 7,000 yards from the tips. The course boasts lush Bluegrass fairways and bentgrass greens. You would expect a flat layout but that is not what you will...

Sonoma Ranch Golf Course Review

Having already played Red Hawk Golf Club (review here), in Las Cruces we decided to give Sonoma Ranch Golf Course a try. Founded in 2000 Sonoma Ranch was deisgned by Cal Olsen. The course winds its way through a planned neighborhood, although houses generally are only on one side...

Red Hawk Golf Club Review

We played Red Hawk Golf Club located in Las Cruces, New Mexico. It is a Ken Dye designed course with a desert links style feel. Check-in was a breeze and we headed to the range to warm-up. The range was plenty big and was plenty long enough. There is...

Angeles National Golf Club Course Review

On a recent business trip to Los Angeles, I found myself with an afternoon of free time to kill.  After checking the weather a few days prior, getting a round of golf in was a no-brainer.  Forecasts were calling for a sunny 75 degrees and off I was to...

Painted Dunes Desert Golf Course Review

Painted Dunes We played our second round in El Paso at Painted Dunes Desert Golf Course. Painted Dunes is located just north of El Paso off highway 54. While they have 27 holes of golf, we only played 18 of them. Each 9 is named after a direction, North,...

Butterfield Trail Golf Club Review

We decided to head to El Paso and play a couple rounds at two of their best public courses. Our first stop was Butterfield Trail Golf Club. I had played it once before and was excited to play it again. It’s as if Palm springs meets Scottsdale. Tom Fazio...

Desert Lakes Golf Course Review

We decided to get in a quick afternoon round at Desert Lakes Golf Course in Alamogordo, NM. It is a municipal course with daily rates just over $30 per round. We got a twilight special that started at 5 for just $20, probably the main reason why we decided...

Inn of the Mountain Gods Course Review

As we continue traveling in New Mexico, we played the Inn of the Mountain Gods championship golf course. I have played this course several times over the years and have a love hate relationship with it. The course is plagued with overgrown mature pine tress in the middle of...

Orlando Trip Review- Grand Cypress Golf Club – New Course

Our second round in Orlando was at the Grand Cypress Golf Club New Course. The New Course is a real treat, with very few similar to it in the US and very different form Celebration and the Golden Bear Club. It is a true links style course that has...

Orlando Trip Review- Celebration Golf Club

After a few hours after landing at Orlando International Airport, we made our way to Celebration Golf Club. Celebration was a fun course. Nothing overly long, or tough. It was a good place to have a round after a half day of traveling. Check-in was easy but don’t expect...
