Golf Suggestions for 2 week Roundtrip in LA/SF/Las Vegas Area

[retozimmermann]

Hi Sabram

Thank you very much for your very nice compilation of Las Vegas Clubs. Unfortunately I haven't had time yet to look at them in detail but I will do that asap and integrate them in my travel map.

As said above, I intend to post the whole route here later so that other's might use it for their own research.

Regards
Reto

I just played the Badlands Golf Course in Las Vegas last week. It was in great shape and a very challenging course. Owned by Troon Golf, Johnny Miller was one of the designers. I would choose that over the TPC only that it was less crowed and less expensive. But both would be a treat.

Hi All

Meanwhile I've been working some more on our route and made a selection of golf courses which I would like to play on our journey. I've decided to skip Vegas golf-wise and stick to the coast area and one course in Palm Springs. We've still not decided which way we're going to drive (clockwise or counter-clockwise) but it might well be that we're coming from Palm Springs along the coast towards San Francisco after visiting the national parks inland.

The courses I've selected are:

• Mesquite Country Club, Palm Springs
• Industry Hills Golf Club (Eisenhower Course), Industry Hills
• Glen Annie Golf Club, Santa Barbara
• Morro Bay Golf Course, Morro Bay
• Pacific Grove Golf Links, Pacific Grove
• The Course at Wente Vinyards, Livermore
• Harding Park, San Francisco

I have put all the courses you've suggested in a Google Earth File which you can download here: http://www.retozimmermann.com/zed_pi...olfCourses.kmz (Of course you need Google Earth installed to view the file-content)

All courses we're planning to play are selected while all others are in a backup folder. The place-marks have addresses, links to the course websites and sometimes rates.

I hope that some of you might find this collection useful. Thanks to all of you who have provided this content!

Best regards
Reto

Hi All

Very cool. A quick thought. I haven't played he courses in Santa Barbara in a long time but I think you might enjoy Sand Piper more than Glenn Annie. While Glenn Annie has a great view of the coast and town it is A LOT of up and down. Sand Piper is flatter and is the "Pebble Beach" of Santa Barbara.

Please let us know your schedule when you figure it out. I'm about 10 minutes from Wente but have never played there. If you are looking for some company that day I'd be happy to try and get some time off join you.

Hi

Thank you for the additional pointers. I'll happily contact you when I know more. Why don't you drop me your details in a PM. I'd like to play with a local Regards Reto

An hour north of Vegas is a course called Wolf Creek.... View it. It is an incredible track. Cheap compared to Vegas but not inexpensive. Very challenging also...
