Hello friends, I’m going up to Napa/Sonoma for my anniversary at the end of May. My wife greenlit an early morning round on 5/31- do any of you have an in to get a fellow nester from Chicago onto Silverado? Thanks in advance!
Thanks for the info. I’m leaning towards playing 18 at Northwood first thing in the morning (it’s a Tuesday) and then head over to Bodega for another 18 starting around 1:30-2. I’d rather play early AM and be back in SF at a decent time in the evening.
Would you recommend a different plan?

Sounds lovely.

No downside in my humble opinion. In fact. I’ve done it a few times myself!

Sounds like you might get a great drive down the coast at sunset. (Granted, maybe a blustery day at bodega in the afternoon. Make sacrifices to whatever God you honor to get a nice-ish day out there)

Anyone need a new driver? I can even hand deliver it at the Chunks.
Brand new stealth+ 9° head looking for 400$
Can pair it with a hzrdous green small batch 6.0 70g shaft if that floats your boat. Brand new mcc+4 midsize grip as well. Call it 130$ for the shaft or 500$ for the whole set up.

Hey Bay Area Nesticles. I’m in SFO for Easter weekend and just decided to stay an extra day, Monday April 10th. Have one spot at 736am at Northwoods (the other two spots are available on line) and booked a single at Half Moon Bay Ocean course for 1:00pm. Would love if any locals wanted to join a Canuck from the Duck Club!! Lemme know!

For all you Presidio playas my buddy just started working out there. His name is Austin and he’s going to be working the turnstand bar and grill. @GremlinGolfer he might reach out on Instagram to join the slack if you can help him out with that.

Wildhorse in Iowa or Wildhorse in Nebraska?
Hey folks, I know this isn’t the right thread, but I’m an inexperienced member of the refuge.
I might be driving the I80 route from Indianapolis to NorCal in early May. Looking for a couple course suggestions that won’t take me off the beaten path.
So far Wild Horse in Nebraska is on my list. Any suggestions as to what courses I should check out, or where I should post this?
In Nebraska, the Fried Egg recommended these three nine-holers in addition to Wild Horse: Augusta Wind Golf Course, Thedford Golf Course, and Pelican Beach Golf Club. It would also be worth sending a letter to Sand Hills to politely ask if they’d let you on. I’ve read that they permit non-member rounds every year, no guarantee you’ll get it, but it can’t hurt to try. Could always try to find someone at Ballyneal which is just down the road in Colorado. Once you get to California you could get on Edgewood in Lake Tahoe (pricey but fun track). The Bay Area has plenty of great options as well once you get here.

Big Sleeper course… Darkhorse in Auburn, California. I’m aware others may disagree, and speak on the Truckee courses. But bang for your buck, and, to play a course off the radar that should not be… Darkhorse is sick. And its about 8 minutes off the I-80. I bend to @3jackbirdie 's view on the matter as he knows the conditions of the course better than I right now.

DarkHorse was the first one that came to mind to me. Favorite course in Placer County for me
