Was absolutely thrilled to play in my first full field GK plays outing at my favorite golf course in Northern California: Yocha Dehe. I've had the pleasure of playing this awesome tract four or five times and every time I'm there I'm reminded how special it really is. The vistas, the geography, the course conditions and hospitality are absolutely outstanding. And this visit did not disappoint. The fairways are absolutely immaculate. And the up-and-down geography makes for incredibly beautiful and incredibly challenging golf at the exact same time. As always the fairways we're pristine. The rough is thick and punishing if you get in it. The traps sparkling fluffy perfect sand.

If I had only one slight complaint, the greens while they rolled true we're a little splotchy. I have to believe that all of that crazy wet weather has made them a little difficult to manage. But this was just a very small little blemish on otherwise a beautiful gem.

Finally the hospitality in the clubhouse continues to be a first rate. Awesome food great cocktails in a beautiful atmosphere.

It was great to play a GK plays event at Yocha. Was a lot of fun playing with my fellow GK gurus and I can't wait for the next event!

Played my first round at Oakmont this week as a tuneup for a GK plays event the next day. Really like this tract up in Sonoma County. First, the drive up there incredibly gorgeous winding through the wine country. Always reminded that this is one of the prettiest places on earth. The golf course was also a real treat. A little tight off the tee especially on the front nine so it was an early test. The fairways were in good condition and the greens were quite nice as well. Overall I would say a pretty average course but definitely fun to play in a beautiful setting. And the food and drink in the clubhouse made for a nice 19th hole. If you find yourself looking for a good spot to play in the Northbay definitely check it out.

Very good experience. Excellent customer service. Fairways were wide enough to hit it out there. Greens in excellent shape. Overall a very nice layout and a great time. Put it on your Truckee/ Tahoe list for sure.

Played Debell for the first time this eeek and really enjoyed it. Beautiful track cut into the hills of Burbank. Weather was perfect. And the meander through the beautiful hills was very enjoyable. Short in yardage but still very challenging up and down holes. And the greens were small, slopy and fast! It's a cool experience that I recommend. And finally the clubhouse is beautiful with a great menu and staff. Rock solid 19th hole:)

My first time at this southern California gem and I really liked it. The first thing I noticed is how classic the clubhouse, the patrons, and the whole vibe really is. The whole thing was just perfect old school Los Angeles and I loved it. The course at first it doesn't appear to be very special in terms of its layout. But once you get out there if you start to develop a real appreciation for the trickiness of the holes in the quickness of the greens. The conditions of the course were terrific – even though they were getting ready to turn it into a parking lot for the Rose Bowl Ha! And playing in 75° in late December is never bad. Finally, probably some of the best freshly made bloody Mary's and chorizo breakfast burritos Ive ever had. I had a wonderful time at Brookside and can't wait to go back.

Really beautiful course on the sunny side of the Carmel area. The course was in absolutely beautiful shape. Very neat contours inside of the Carmel Valley canyons with great views. The course was narrow and quite demanding off the tee. The fairways of poa annua grass were absolutely immaculate. If you hit it in the fairway you were guaranteed an outstanding lie. And the greens, as you'll often see in the Monterey area, we're very small and guarded by difficult and deep bunkers. But they rolled beautifully.

This was another really great experience of golf in the Monterey area. And the pace of play was so fast it allowed for some touring of that gorgeous part of the state after the round is over. If you're going to go to Monterey and play a few rounds add this to your list.

First time at this course and really enjoyed it. Can't imagine playing a muni course with a much nicer layout or in much better condition. The views were outstanding. And the course conditions made it a very enjoyable experience.

The course is tough for a middle handicapper like me. Especially demanding off the tee. If you got your tee ball in play, it was quite playable from there. But if your driver is off, bring a lot of balls

Maybe a little pricey. But overall a good experience and I would definitely come back for a good challenge on a pretty course.

This is a spectacular golf track. It may seem like a bit of a drive from the bay area at first but you will see its not that far (just about 30 miles north of Highway 80 near Davis) and it is well worth it. It is one of the most visually beautiful and best maintained courses in all of Northern California. I've had the good fortune to play the most iconic venues in the area including Pebble Beach, Spyglass Hill, Pasatiempo, and others. And I can say this course stands up to all of those in terms of the layout, the conditions and the enjoyability of playing it. And the staff and hospitality are tremendous. This course is flat out one of my favorites and all of Northern California and I highly recommend it.
