Just wanted to see what kind of hidden gems you guys know about in California. I live in Southern California and am always road tripping to Northern California, trying to find courses along the way to play.
 

Anyone know of any cool little nine holes or muni's that have some history behind them or just have a cool vibe to them???

To get an idea of what I'm talking about, check out this little 9-hole course called Ben Brown's in Laguna Beach, CA. Tucked in the canyon right off of PCH (pacific coast highway).

My favorite 9 hole course (par 36) is Northwood Golf Course in Sonoma.  This course runs through giant redwoods.  https://www.northwoodgolf.com/

From their website:

Quote

Northwood Golf Course combines the magic of the architecture of Dr. Alister MacKenzie (Augusta National, Pasatiempo, Cypress Point) set amidst towering Redwood trees. It's like nothing you have played before, and prompted Travelin' Joe Passov of Golf Magazine to place Northwood on his top-5 MacKenzie courses... in the world!

I've had a few people recommend this one recently. Looks insanely beautiful and like an epic course to shoot pictures! Thank you for confirming this course to be one of my destination courses of 2018!

I played Ben Brown’s many years ago and it was great. I hope to get down there again this year’s.

I just played there yesterday! Beautiful course with great views in the valley. The best part is all the deer running around. Amazing!

Right?! I love it there. Keep your eyes out for a writeup in one of the upcoming "The Golfers Journal" issues ; )

Is Ben Brown also called Aliso Creek? That was the first SoCal course I ever played, and yes, the deer were amazing!

My husband and I played a pretty little course up in Cupertino last year called Deep Cliff. It's an 18-hole par 60, tucked in the hills west of highway 85. Cool place!

And if you're looking for a different kind of challenge up there, check out The Ranch in San Jose! :-O

      Day 37: did my drill swings in the garage with foam balls for about 15 minutes. Working on getting my backswing more turned and then going from there.

      Retaining Trail Knee Flex in the Backswing

      By iacas · Posted

      Thanks but honestly… I don't know any other way. I don't mind being wrong so long as I know where to go from there. I don't like being wrong — I'd love to get things right (which is different than "being right"). I recommend grabbing a furniture slider or a paper plate or something, and doing something like this: First, make a swing where you let your trail foot swing out as you turn, then twist that foot back in. From DL and FO, it'll look like this: Then, during a regular backswing, try to twist your foot in slightly (demonstrated in the left image): You'll notice a crease along the trail side of your hip, your pelvis will "fold" into that thigh (internal rotation of the hip joint), and your "bits" will be squished a little between your pelvis and your thigh. Ben Hogan said once: "At the top of the back swing the groin muscle on the inside of your rt [sic] leg near your right nut will tighten," Hogan wrote. "This subtle feeling of tightness there tells you that you have made the correct move back from the ball." I don't know about that, but you will probably feel something down around that area.

      Yep. I think it will start to feel even more athletic when we start on the downswing stuff later.  I know, it's just I want to be younger so I have more time to enjoy the changes. 🙂

      I need to drop a couple of stone. 🙂 😛    Yep. Yeah, but in the end, it feels more athletic, like you're actually using your legs, yeah? As you know… we use the best available info we have. Like others, I was fooled a little by 2D images for awhile (moving or still). Unlike others, I've learned and grown and moved on since then, while they're still looking at their images (often from lousy camera angles).
