Twin Oaks Golf Course
A couple of weeks back, the BeerNGolf crew suited up in our matching pinstripe knickers to sponsor and play in a tournament benefiting an outstanding charity, fightald.org. Now I can’t say with a good conscience that we here at BeerNGolf actually participated to benefit the charity. We really are genuinely sometimes quasi-decent people, but when Stone Brewing Co is the main sponsor and kegs will be on the course, we would sponsor the National Suck-a-Dick Foundation’s disc golf tournament at Sun Valley with our mouths agape in anticipation. (for the beer of course!)But, on this glorious, mostly heterosexual day we were sponsoring Fight ALD’s tournament at Twin Oaks so let’s discuss the course, and by discuss, I mean you reading and me writing . So, if you didn’t already know, Twin Oaks is located in the “Sunshine” area of north San Diego, San Marcos. If you plan on playing Twin Oaks without kegs of beer available, you might want to think about getting in an early round, as it gets toasty and sober quicker than you can crap kittens. The course is a good blend of everything you like at other courses, which makes you change your strategy every couple of holes. The course is a little dry but is well maintained. The weirdest thing is the greens…. They seem to have smaller holes and invisible breaks. Now I will admit that I was a little plastered and played the back nine with a putter I found in a bunker that strangely resembled a big back scratcher. But I guess that’s the beauty of a scramble. And boy! it was a damn good scramble! Stone KNOWS how to sponsor a tournament! Dollar Beer! Yeah!…. you heard me, DOLLAR BEER. And we aren’t talking about your typical golf course selection. We are talking about straight outta the keg, Port Wipeout, Green Flash IPA, Port Amigo, and Stone Pale Ale. I know, your probably thinking 8oz dixie cups half full with head. NO! As you can see from the picture below, It was 12-14oz cups or “Dump out your still full 32oz Gatorade, we’ll give you a bottle of water to rinse it out with and refill it with 32 ounces of pure heaven, and you don’t even half to pay for it, because it’s technically a suggested donation!” … How I am alive, I could not tell you. But I sure wished I still had that gatorade the next morning.

New I lost my putter back there around 8. Just used my sand wedge instead.
Nothing like playing the first 14 with two beers going non-stop.
Wish I could remember the last four…

Like your site. I too belong to a group of beer drinkers that have a golf habit. It appears you folks are all located in San Diego and have great golfing weather year round; however, we in NJ must cry in our beer for several months. Maybe during this time we can develop our own site and share our experiences (beer and courses of course) on the east coast. I feel inspired.
