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.

      3 Wood Shafts

      By rod7515 · Posted

      Im struggling to hit a 3 wood any distance. Im 67 now and used to use a 3 wood all the time. My swing speed with the 3 woods is between 80-84. I am only 5'5" tall. I currently have 4- 3 woods in my used club selection. I have an old Titliest 910FD, a Taylormade Sim2, a PXG gen 4 and a Ping G430. None of these can i hit more than 180 yards and often much shorter. My driver which is a Ping G430 I hit about 210-225. Heres the crazy thing, I carry a Taylormade Sim2- 7 wood that I hit 175-185. I carry an older titliest H1 Hybrid 23* that i hit 165-175. All yardages are with carry. When i hit both the Hybrid and the 7 wood they feel like very solid strikes yet I never feel like i hit any of these 3 woods solid. All of these clubs have regular shafts of different manufacturers. I would like to be able to hit a 3 wood 200 yards. Im thinking I need to start playing with shafts, Maybe even shorten them some. I have equipment to pull shafts and set swingweights and reglue. I have a bunch of reg flex old driver shafts that i could shorten. My driver, 7 wood and Hybrid are all D3 Swingweight. The 3 woods are D3 as well.  Where would you start? Thanks Rod

      Can Somebody Explain to Me Why Lie Angle Balanced Putters Are Important?

      By rod7515 · Posted

      This was a great read from start to finish. Ive been watching the LAB putters for 3 or 4 years now. Ive never been a good putter and Ive worked at putting but i just dont seem to get better at it. I play at least 3 times a week with a 11.6 Hdcp and i have owned probably 20+ putters over my last 10 years. Ive even tried the broomstick putters which at first I thought helped but as time went on i missed just as many putts. For me it comes down to nerves which i struggle to control when putting. I always feel like i have someone leaning over me watching my every move when i putt. I had a friend I play with this fall go get fitted for a LAB and he came back all excited, he bought one and he was already a player that probably averages 32 putts a round. So i think I would say hes a good putter. I used his putter a few times and the feeling i get compared to my putter which right now is a Ping Vault 2.0 Piper and just before that an Evnroll ER5v and before that Spyder Ghost........anyway the feeling I notice was that i can take the putter back without it twisting some. At least thats the feeling i get. I dont know if i would be a better putter with a LAB putter but after this year i will know as I went and was fitted and have one on the way. I can only hope it makes a differnce. If not ive got plenty of putters to fall back on!  Rod

      Have You Played Where a PGA, Champions, or LPGA Event Has Been Played?

      By SoCalHacker · Posted

      I love Rancho Park too!  I don't get out there much due to the 405 issues (Im in Santa Clarita) but I do try and get out there every now and then...last time out was in January where I eagled 17 (left green) with a holed 145 yard third shot ! Rancho is a great course! And at 24 bucks weekday with the city card, an absolute steal!

      By Shindig · Posted

      I have played PGA West, at least one or two courses in there, but I am not sure if I've played any of the courses used to host the Hope. I played a course that I think both isn't PGA West and is host to the Hope a few years ago, possibly at a TST outing, but I'm not sure if I'm thinking of the right one. I have played Rancho Park plenty of times (exactly half of my sub-80 rounds were there!) and Wilson/Harding.  Rancho Park might be my favorite golf course among those I've played more than a half dozen times.   Hopefully I'll get a chance to play TPC Scottsdale, maybe this August or September, and at some point I think there was a PGA Tour event in Las Vegas, I should get up there and play those course(s).
