Empire Lakes is not too far from there. It's an Arnold Palmer designed links course that used to host an event on the Nationwide Tour. Kevin Na won this on his way back from injury. Beautiful course, and there are some websites where you can get a good discount.

Right in Pomona is Royal Oaks Golf Course and down the street is Diamond Bar Golf Course. I haven't played Royal Oaks since my high school days. My son and I played Diamond Bar two weekends ago. Not too bad of a course. The only downside is, it is right next to the freeway so one some holes it is too loud. If you go further down the freeway there is Industry Hills Golf Course. Very challenging. The PGA used to do some tournaments there about 20 years ago. For nostalgia, it is where they filmed Rodney Dangerfields' movie "Back to School" and has been on "Unsolved Mysteries."

For the price, Diamond Bar is the best way to go.

As a side note, when you go don't stay in Pomona, it is a very bad neighborhood. Lots of gangs and violence. Any other city around there is safe

Thanks for the heads up. I'm not quite sure where I'll be staying just yet. I will undoubtedly be a Sheraton or Hilton like hotel, as we are scheduled for a series of meetings on Friday, then I'm attending the NHRA race on Sat/Sun.

Palm Springs is only an hour east of Pomona and we have plenty of great courses to choose from AND the weather is usually perfect in November here (average high of 78F).

If you want to play closer to the Ontario Airport then I'd recommend Oak Quarry in Riverside... very unique course with spectacular scenery built out of an old quarry and the greens fees are reasonable.

I've also played Empire Lakes (Shindigs recommendation) and I enjoyed it too...solid course at a good price.

There is a very nice and reasonably priced muni in Arcadia called Santa Anita. I played it this spring and can recommend it. Great walking course.

I live down the street from Santa Anita, and can say that this course is very different in the fall than it is in the spring. Right now, it is pretty dried out with many brown/dirt areas. During the week it is $25 to walk and an extra ~$15 to ride (dont know exactly cause I never ride). Plus, it is very crowded, need a tee time otherwise before 10AM it is at least a 1 hr. wait.

Where DO people find good reviews of golf courses?

www.greenskeeper.org is THE place to find reviews of California and Arizona golf courses. They also do a great job with alerts when courses aerate greens or close for reseeding.

      "5 Minutes Daily" Practice Challenge

      By 4zim ·

      Day 54. Was in a good place last week. Yesterday’s round killed my confidence.  Full swing practice trying to get back to where I was but struggled with being tired and tense. Back to basics tomorrow.

      Welcome back! Evolvr.com? I don't use the full extreme end of it, and that's probably dipped to 75% or so nowadays. But I use the sole more than I don't, yeah. Also… it's good to learn this shot: Middle up. Not generally outside your feet in either direction. I generally have it slightly forward of center, yeah. Short version: tip your upper body in the direction of the slope. Look at the GC3. You can find them for really good prices sometimes.

      Day 3:  I tried to hit a bucket at the range but an 80 year old man (he told me his age, showed me his knee replacement scars, told me all about his chronic low back pain, etc) couldn’t pass up the opportunity to mansplain to me every little thing I’m doing wrong.  Dude, it’s my third frickin day.  I know I need to twist my hips more, I know I need to keep my head/chest down and not pop up, I know I need to hit through the ball and follow through further, yada yada yada.  I know.  That’s exactly what I’m trying to work on.  How about you tell me or show me how to do those things instead of telling me to watch Iron Byron videos?  Rough day.

      Day 132: 5/7/24 Full Speed Spectrum Training session 8/24. 7th training program overall.    Another slow session but 4 mph faster than my last session, which was my slowest ever. Going to the doctor on Friday to check on pulled neck muscle.
