New York State of Mind…
NY Jets must prepare for LT & the Super Chargers!
Well, the New York Jets have finally done it and now that 1st playoff win takes them down south to America’s Finest City to take on the San Diego Super Chargers who had a first round bye. I’m sure with the weather of late, San Diego will be infested with New York Jet fans so they can enjoy the beautiful weather we’ve been having (about 72 degrees as I post this).
With great weather, comes “golf”, and with New York fans coming to San Diego in January comes the “need to golf”. We’ve been getting calls as soon as one hour after the Cincinatti Bengals lost to the Jets from fans looking to book their tee times. Most of the early rounds on Sunday have been filling up, but with booking 20 courses in San Diego, we’re bound to find something that fits your bill. Check for the earliest Sunday morning tee times at San Diego’s finest championship golf courses here.
If you plan on coming this week and make a vacation out of it, there are plenty of available times around the city at the finest championship golf courses San Diego has to offer. Friday and Saturday especially may be the perfect fit for the New Yorker who wants to relax in paradise before the anxious game rips out their heart (All but one of us here in the office are Charger fans, the other a Dallas Cowboy fan - no comment).
As much as we want the Charger’s to win, we’re golf enthusiasts and extremely customer friendly. We may not chant J…E…T…S…, but we’ll help you figure out the best course for your budget, your game, and the distance you are willing to travel. Check out our list of courses. We’re a free service so give us a call and get your round of golf booked TODAY!

Great Golf Course Reviews
Recently while surfing the web, I found a goldmine of golf course reviews by Wayne Freedman on the abc7news.com website. Included are reviews of many of the Southern California / San Diego and Nevada / Las Vegas and Arizona / Phoenix courses that Showtime Golf provides tee time booking for. Below are links to the individual reviews:
Twin Oaks Golf Club Review - 45 minutes outside San Diego, CA. This brief review is mixed, but overall, Wayne calls it “a good course”.

Las Sendas Golf Course Review - Mesa, AZ. Wayne give Las Sendas “major kudos all around”. This player’s course offeres “splendid views” and a uniquely “spooky” landscape. Unique features include golf carts equiped with GPS tracking devices (to help navigate the hilly terrain and blind spots). They “illustrate hole routings, green profiles, pin locations, and, most importantly, yardages. ”

The Raven Club at South Mountain - Located in Phoenix, Arizona, Wayne says “you might take most of the day to realize you’re actually playing golf in Phoenix. Here, in the desert, architects David Graham and Gary Panks planted 7100 pine trees. They frame the fairways and augment your sense of geographic disorientation, lending a Midwest feeling to the surrounds, while providing a sense of quiet seclusion.” Wayne praised the numerology of the yardages and especially enjoyed the “visually alluring and daunting” 324-yd 5th. “You’ll be back” quips Wayne.

The Raven at Verrado Course Review - This review discusses not only the greens and individual holes, but also the surrounding town. As Wayne says, “The Raven at Veraddo will not disappoint. The clubhouse and Cucina Restaurant are especially splendid, the course design clever and understated, and the conditioning divine. Put The Raven at Verrado on your must play list for your next visit to Scottsdale.”
