Tom- How close is Stevenson to Wente? I've been to Wente and enjoyed but not yet been to Stevenson. Next trip to the bay Area perhaps.

Mapquest says 79 miles, but your mph can match your golf score on those freeways ... it is marginally close to 2 hours from Oakland International Airport and probably less than 2 hours from Sacramento ...

Mike - yeah, I figured two hours from SJC was a stretch.  I have made it home in app. 2 hours, but let's just say speed limits were not followed... Also one hour from Wente to Stevinson was a guess also... that would be very tough sans helicopter!   ;)

Who says Behtpage Black (or red for that matter) is hard to get on!  Instead of spending the money on a hotel, you sleep in your car, what a bargain!

In all seriousness, as a single and on a weekday other than Friday, you have a decent shot at getting out if you show up by 5am.

Between Richmond and Williamsburg:

Royal New Kent and Stonehouse

Your'd be hard pressed to find two courses that close together that are so different. And the new management has drastically lowered the greens fees.

In MA:  Pinehills (Jones course), George Wright, and Shaker Hills.

In NH:  Owl's Nest and Stonebridge.

Of course, only if the snow melts and there's no sign that it ever will.

Mid Pines and Pine Needles. 1 1/2 hours from Raleigh. The fees are slightly less or slightly more than 100 depending on the time of year. Two Ross courses, very different in style, but very enjoyable to play. I don't know the cost for Tabacco Road, but it all seems to open up to possibilities; not to mention The Pit (and a host of others too). Made this particular trip and really thought it was worth it.
