    Rancho San Joaquin Golf Review: $80 Membership & Bucket Hat Lady

    Is Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course worth the price? And can an $80/month golf membership make you forgive questionable course conditions and a truly unforgettable driving-range encounter? This week on Spillin' the Tee, Eva and Kurt head to Rancho San Joaquin Golf Course in Irvine, California, for an honest review of this popular Orange County public golf course. Eva gives RSJ a surprisingly high 7.8/10, but Kurt isn't quite as convinced. Between the affordable practice membership, challenging layout, course conditions, and two Italian playing partners who made the round memorable, there's plenty to debate. And then there's Bucket Hat Lady. Because apparently, one of the most ridiculous driving-range experiences in Eva's golf career needed a sequel. We're breaking down whether the Players Club membership is worth it for beginner golfers, how the course stacks up when it comes to value, and why the people you play with can make all the difference. Whether you're a Southern California golfer looking for your next tee time or just enjoy golf stories that go completely off the rails, we've got you covered.

    Houston & San Diego Golf: $164 Flooded Fairways & a 320-Yard Drive

    Would you pay $164 to play a flooded golf course? And how does a 320-yard drive NOT win a longest-drive contest?! It's another Spillin' the Tee Side Piece, and Eva and Kurt are golfing in two different states with two very different experiences. Kurt heads to Coronado Golf Course in San Diego for a charity scramble, where beautiful waterfront views, a 320-yard bomb, and some questionable long-drive results make for an interesting tournament. Meanwhile, Eva returns to BlackHorse Golf Club in Cypress, Texas, where severe flooding turns an already challenging course into a muddy adventure. Between unexpected water hazards, a frustrating fivesome, and a $164 price tag, there's plenty to spill. But there's a silver lining: Eva shoots a 100, improving her score by 24 strokes since playing the same course in 2025! We're talking golf course value, scramble tournaments, golf etiquette, and why the people you play with might matter more than your scorecard.

    Los Serranos South: The $120 Golf Round That Surprised Us

    Los Serranos South looked intimidating on paper. But was it actually as difficult as we expected? This week on Spillin' the Tee, Eva and Kurt head to Chino Hills, California, to review the South Course at Los Serranos Golf Club. With tree-lined fairways, elevation changes, challenging greens and a seriously long finishing hole, we weren't exactly expecting an easy round. But Eva shoots a 101 and somehow makes it to the 17th hole before losing her first ball. So, was this roughly $120 round worth it? We're breaking down the full experience: course conditions, pace of play, practice facilities, welcoming staff, and one particularly frustrating cart policy. Plus, Kurt finds himself in the trees, we meet Anna—the snack-shack legend who's been there for 22 years—and someone manages to drink an impressive number of Cokes. And because this is Spillin' the Tee, we're not forgetting the hot dog. Was Los Serranos South worth the drive from Orange County? Would we come back to play the North Course? And, most importantly, does it earn our Worth the Tee Time rating? We paid. We played. And we're spilling everything.

    Gearhart Golf Links Was So Good I Played It Twice | Oso Creek Tournament

    Eva played Gearhart Golf Links on the Oregon coast and loved it so much she went back for a second round. Meanwhile, Kurt headed to Oso Creek Golf Course in Mission Viejo for some tournament golf. This week on Spillin' the Tee, we're bringing you two very different golf experiences. Eva takes us to one of the most historic golf courses in the western United States, where Scottish-style links golf, beautiful conditions, and the U.S. Hickory Open made for a memorable vacation. Kurt brings us back to Southern California to talk tournament golf, competition, and his experience at Oso Creek. We're talking course conditions, playability, value, and what makes a golf course worth playing again. And of course, we're giving both courses our official rating: Worth the Tee Time, Play It Once, or Leave It in the Pro Shop.

    Are $100 Rounds Better Outside California? TimberStone & Makray | Season 1 Finale

    We’re leaving the Orange County golf bubble for our Season 1 finale—and asking whether $100 gets you a better round outside Southern California. Eva heads to Idaho’s Treasure Valley to play TimberStone, while Kurt returns to the Chicago area for a round at Makray Memorial. We’re spilling everything: pristine fairways, Midwest tree trouble, impressive practice facilities, a late start, two glorious ice machines, one brutal hangover—and the shocking discovery that Eva may love being an aunt more than golf. Were these two out-of-state courses worth the tee time? Listen to find out. Courses featured: ⛳ TimberStone Golf Course — Caldwell, Idaho ⛳ Makray Memorial Golf Club — Barrington, Illinois Thank you for joining us for Season 1 of Spillin’ the Tee!

    Short Course, Big Opinions: Is David L. Baker Worth the Tee Time?

    David L. Baker is an executive course—but does shorter mean easier, or does it just create a completely different kind of trouble? This week, Eva and Kurt head to Fountain Valley to play David L. Baker Golf Club, an 18-hole, par-62 course tucked inside Mile Square Park. With six lakes, undulating greens and plenty of opportunities for a seemingly simple hole to go sideways, this is not just a throwaway practice round. Kurt makes birdie on Hole 4. Eva questions whether executive courses get the respect they deserve. And together, we break down what everyday golfers actually need to know before booking: the price, pace, playability, conditions, personality and overall experience. Is David L. Baker the perfect place for a quicker, more approachable round? A legitimate test of your accuracy and short game? Or is it the kind of course golfers dismiss because it does not have championship-length yardage? We paid. We played. And, as always, we spilled everything. Have you played David L. Baker? Tell us whether it belongs in the Orange County golf rotation—and what you would rate the full experience. Links⛳ David L.

    Two Courses, Two States, Two Very Different Rounds

    Eva and Kurt went golfing without each other, so naturally, it’s time for another Spillin’ the Tee Side Piece. Eva heads back to Marshall Canyon Golf Course in La Verne, California, for a family round—and discovers that the course she already loved may be one of Southern California’s best hidden gems. For around $70 on a Friday, she gets wildlife, rolling terrain, wildly undulating greens and the chance to see just how far her game has come. The last time she played Marshall Canyon, she shot a 124. This time? She shaved 19 strokes off her score. Meanwhile, Kurt celebrates the Fourth of July in Wisconsin with family, late nights, lake days and a 9 a.m. tee time at Lake Wisconsin Country Club. The course delivers gorgeous lake views, a memorable par 3 over the water and plenty of trouble waiting for anyone whose swing didn’t survive the previous night’s festivities. One round felt like coming home. The other only cost Kurt his dignity. We’re breaking down the prices, conditions, layouts, greens, scenery and overall experiences—and deciding whether we need to return together for a full episode.
