North is fun, with a handful of challenging and elevated holes. Greens ran true. Fast. And conditions were excellent.

A Northern Cal course with ocean views that no one talks about. Hard not to have a good day here. It gets windy really windy so don’t anticipate shooting your beast round here. Tough walk take a cart very hilly and exposed to wind.

Another great course that is underrated in the area. Not the most challenging course, but a really great time to play. Always in great shape. Very well maintained.
