Oak Quarry Golf Course, Riverside, CA

Website: http://www.oakquarry.com/golf/rates.html

Course History:

Oak Quarry Golf Course is a newer course that was opened to rave reviews in 2000. It was built by Dr. Gil Morgan/Schmidt Curley Designs, and quickly became one of the most popular courses in this area. The course is located in the Jurapa Mountains and offers a truly rugged beauty, challenging play and some great facilities. Although their rates are very reasonable, they do offer a special membership plan which we'll go into more detail about below.

What You Need to Know:

You can book your tee time by calling the number listed above. Although their website lists special deals on green fees, they do not have an online registration option at this time. Please note that the club does have a dress code. All players must wear collared shirts and appropriate attire. Denim is strictly prohibited and the management prefers soft spikes only.

We found that this club, even though it is public, had all the amenities and features of a private club. The restaurant was simply terrific and it was a great place to relax in after a tough round of golf. We liked the pro shop, and found that the staff was very helpful and the stock was great. A very wide variety of merchandise and brand names can be found there.

Playing Tips:

This is a great course that is very challenging but a lot of fun to play. You'll need to utilize the cart, especially if you're not in the best of shape. Mountain courses are always our favorites and this one was no exception. You'll be able to enjoy a truly great game while you're here.

The course is known for its changes in elevation, so you will need to work hard on long drives and accuracy. There are times when you really can't tell where you are going, so you will want to study the score card carefully before going out. You'll be dealing with multiple water hazards, as well as incredible rock formations and the natural terrain. This is a course that you really can't master with one round, but it's really fun to come back and try it again.

Tustin Ranch Golf Club, Tustin, CA

Tustin Ranch Golf Club is located in: Tustin, CA

Phone: 714/730-1611

Website: http://www.tustinranchgolf.com/

Course History:

This course was designed by Ted Robinson and you'll easily feel as though you've been transported into paradise the minute you arrive. By far, one of the most visually stunning golf courses we have ever seen. The course is semi-private, but the public is allowed to play at certain times. We highly recommend making the trip to this course, since there are few courses like this that are available in the United States.

What You Need to Know:

This course has a pretty strict dress code, so please stick with traditional attire. They will enforce it, and appreciate the public's adherence to the rules. Tee times can be reserved online, or by calling the number listed above. We found the staff to be very helpful and you can even get a glimpse of the great pro shop online before you get there. The grill is definitely worth the trip and had far above average food.

Playing Hints:

This is course is all about the challenge and you'll find some of the holes may be a bit difficult, but still very fun. The fairways are rolling and the bunkers are certainly deep. Water hazards are not plentiful here, but you'll have plenty on your hands without them.

Our favorite hole was the eleventh and it is a doozy. Out of all of the few water hazards on the course, this is the most difficult. You'll be hopping in between small patches of fairway while you try to avoid the lake. Stick to the left on this hole and try to be as accurate as possible. If you are a good driver, aim right for the hole across the lake so you can bypass all of these little steps.

Alhambra Golf Course, Alhambra, CA

Alhambra Golf Course is located in: Alhambra, CA

Phone: (626) 570-5059

Website: www.alhambragolf.com

Course History:

Considered to be one of the best kept secrets in Southern California, Alhambra Golf Course offers a rare level of play at an incredible price. You’ll be able to play on this amazing course for less than $30 in most cases, and compared to other courses in the same area, that is definitely a steal. We haven’t come across a course this nice, or this cheap in a long time, so it was a definite treat to visit here.

The course is a bit short, coming in at just over 5200 yards, but they do have a regulation 70 par. It’s actually made up of two distinct nine hole courses, but if you choose to play both, you’ll find the experience quite fun.

What You Need to Know:

You can register your tee time by calling the number above and the course also has an online registration system. We highly recommend checking out the practice facility, which in keeping with how the course handles things, is incredibly valuable and offers some great chances to improve your game.

This is a public course, so the dress code is not as strict. We do however recommend soft spikes while you’re here. The pro shop is well stocked and we really enjoyed the grill. Considering that this is a municipal course, it completely exceeded our expectations.

Playing Hints:

This is a pretty straightforward course that is suitable for both novices and professionals. There are not a lot of hazards, but the terrain can be a bit challenging at times. There are two main water bodies, and they affect mainly the ninth and seventh holes, and slightly the second hole.

There are a few sand traps to avoid, but overall, this is a fun course to play and a great place to get in a solid practice round. Our favorite hole was the tenth hole. On this one, you’re going to want to go a little to the left on your drive in order to avoid the gigantic tree that is smack dab in the middle of the fairway. From there head a little right to make it on the green with your second shot.

Phone: 530.836.1420

Plumas Pines Golf Course, Graeagle, CA

Website: http://www.plumaspinesgolf.com

Course History:

This is a terrific course on a resort that is still open to the public. If you're looking for a challenging round set in a beautiful location, this is the perfect course. Since it opened it became incredibly popular with the locals and the stay and play packages have since made it a favorite among guests. Overall, given the green fees and the amenities, this is truly a great value.

What You Need to Know:

There are numerous lesson plans available here and it is a great place to go if you're new to the game or want to get a few tips on improving your score. They offer an eclub that features even lower rates on their already cheap green fees and the pro shop is incredibly well stocked.

You can book your tee time by calling the number above, but we recommend checking their site first. They do run frequent specials and they have several offers that are well worth checking out.

We recommend wearing traditional golf attire since this is a resort course. They don't specifically state that there is a dress code, but it is best to respect the course and err on the side of caution. The practice facilities are really top-notch and at the end of the day, the grill is the perfect place to relax. The staff is very helpful and friendly.

Playing Hints:

This is a course that is well planned out and offers just enough of a challenge to give pros a good game while not being terribly intimidating to a novice. The terrain is a bit challenging at times and we recommend a cart unless you're in terrific shape. There are plenty of hazards that keep the game fun, so you're best bet is to try to aim for the center of the fairway with most of the holes.

The eighteenth hole is a real killer, but if you've got a great drive, you should be able to get a birdie without a problem.

Washoe Golf Course, Reno, NV

Website: http://www.washoegolf.org

Course History:

Washoe Golf Course is a public course that is extremely friendly and fun to play. No matter what your skill level is, you'll feel right at home on this great course. It has much to offer, and the prices are truly remarkable. It has a rich history that dates back to the first World War, and it is one of the oldest courses in this area. It's nickname is the "Shoe" and it has remained incredibly popular with residents and guests since the day it first opened. If you just want to play a simple round of golf in a great environment, this the perfect course.

What You Need to Know:

You can book your tee time by calling the number listed above. This course offers lessons as well as special Ladies and Mens groups that are very popular. The pro shop is surprisingly well stocked given the overall size of the course, and you'll find pretty much everything you could ever need right there.

If you don't have your own clubs, they do offer rentals at very good rates. Overall, this is one of the most economical courses in the area that still provides that great traditional golf experience. Odette's restaurant, located on site is a legend and with good reason. You won't find better food anywhere else in this area. We really can't say enough nice things about this great course.

Playing Hints:

The front nine all play very straightforward. This isn't the most challenging of courses, but it is a great place to really work on your game. Like most courses, accuracy really helps, but this one is a little more forgiving than others. The third hole is a deceptively easy Par Three, but it will take a few times of getting to know the course to par it.

One of our favorites holes on the course is the 18th, which is a very long par five. You'll have plenty of chances to make up any slack on your score with this hole and you've got a great chance of making a birdie, even if you're a novice.

Azusa Greens Golf Course, Azusa, CA

Azusa Greens Golf Course is located in: Azusa, CA

Phone: (626) 969-1727

Website: http://www.azusagreenscc.com

Course History:

This is a semi private course, but the public is allowed to play. We found that the rates were incredibly reasonable given this fact and the facilities are what you would expect from a higher priced country club. Everything is very well maintained and overall, we found this to be a great course to visit.

What You Need to Know:

The course is tucked away near Los Angeles, and they’ve made marvelous use out of the 6200 yard area that is set aside for play. The mountains behind the course provide a magnificent backdrop while you’re playing and the gently rolling fairways make your round a lot more fun. This is a middle of the road course that is suitable both for novice players and professionals.

Please note that there is a spectator fee of $12 for anyone that is on the course without clubs. We loved the fact that they threw the cost of the cart in with the already low green fees, and that you really do get quite a lot for your money here. You can reserve your tee time by calling the number listed above, or you can book your time online. They frequently give away free rounds of golf and you can also take advantage of other specials by visiting their website.

The practice area is definitely top notch and they have a driving range, practice green as well as a chipping area. Even though this course is located in southern California, we were surprised by just how green everything was and how well maintained the practice areas were. A lot of courses don’t go to this trouble and it was very nice to see.

The grill has some great food and the clubhouse is what you would expect from a country club – sumptuously appointed and very comfortable. The course is open all year round and thanks to the weather in this area, you could conceivably play any time you want.

Playing Hints:

Make sure you allow plenty of time to play this course, since it is a long one. The average player takes about four and a half hours to complete a round here, but you may end up going a little longer if you are just starting out. That’s with a cart to give you a better idea of how long the course is.

The fairways here are incredibly narrow so accuracy is definitely key. You won’t have to deal with many water hazards, but they don’t cut you any slack when it comes to bunkers. Most of the greens are well protected by cavernous bunkers, so take extra care with your approach shots. The greens undulate as well, so your putting game will be the key to getting a good score here.

San Clemente Golf Course, San Clemente, CA

San Clemente Golf Course is located in: San Clemente, CA

Phone: (949)361-8380

Website: http://www.sanclementegc.com/

Course History:

This is a beautiful course that was designed by William Bell, it quickly rose to prominence in the area. Considering the quality of the course, the rates are incredibly low, thanks in part to the fact that this is a municipal course. You'd never know it to look at it though and the facilities are very well maintained. The level of play is just the right mix of fun and challenging and novices should not be intimated.

What You Need to Know:

This is a public course, so while the dress code is not strict, it's still a good idea to wear traditional golf clothes. You can register your tee time by calling the number listed above, or by visiting their website. Specials are frequently posted there, so it's a good idea to check ahead of time.

The golf shop was very well stocked and you can also get lessons from the resident club pro. We found some great golf clubs there and the prices were very competitive. The grill had some of the best food in the area and we though the clubhouse was very nicely appointed, given that this is a public course. Overall, it's easily one of the best courses in the area.

Playing Hints:

This course has many gentle slopes that are pretty deceiving. They look a lot easier to play than they are, so try to stick as close as possible to the middle of the fairway. Some of the elevation changes are pretty sudden, and this gives an extra amount of challenge to your game.

The bunkers are probably the biggest challenge for most players and the course features them on most holes. The greens are well protected, and it can be tough to get that shot just right. On the fifteenth hole, we recommend going a little short on the approach shot, since the bunkers here are particularly deep.

On the seventeenth hole, you're going to want to go a little to the right with your tee shot to make up for the fact that the entire fairway slopes down. By sticking to the top ledge, you should be able to keep your ball from rolling too far away from where you wanted it to land.

Beau Pre Golf Course, McKinleyville, CA

Beau Pre Golf Course, McKinleyville, CA

Beau Pre Golf Course is located in McKinleyville, CA

Phone: (707)839-2342

Website: http://www.beaupregc.com/

Course History:

This is a gorgeous course that is located outside of the historic city of McKinleyville, the site of the world's largest totem pole. This is one of the nicest courses on the West Coast and offers a championship level of play that is still suitable for novices. The course is tucked a bit off the beaten path, so we've included directions below.

What You Need to Know:

You can register your tee time by calling the number above, but the course does also offer an online tee time request form. They will contact you to let you know if your time is available. Since this is a popular course, we do recommend calling ahead.

This is a very fun course to play and the facilities are very nice. The pro shop was well stocked and we appreciated the quiet atmosphere in the club house. There are memberships available to save on the already low green fees, but the public is welcome at any time. They do not specify a dress code, but it is best to wear classic golf gear to err on the side of caution.

Playing Hints:

You'll be dealing with multiple water hazards on this course, particularly on the back nine. Most are creeks and bisect the fairways right before the green. We recommend taking a shorter tee shot on these holes to give you a better chance of avoiding the water. There are only a few bunkers and with accuracy, they should not be a problem for most players.

The holes are all very straightforward and fun to play. You won't have to worry so much about drifting a little left or right, and there are only two major doglegs to worry about - 5 and 7. For both, keep to the right from the tee and you'll be fine.
