Widely regarded as the best golf course in Ventura County, Elkins Ranch Golf Course offers 18 holes of PGA certified championship course amid a gorgeous background of California orange groves. Located in the quaint small town of Fillmore, this is a top-class course nestled into a calm, bucolic setting. The views from the course are phenomenal, with the Sespe and San Cayetano mountains looming in the distance and the sweet country air blowing through. Originally carved out of the Elkins family’s 110-acre citrus ranch in 1961, the course has become a popular destination for local golfers who remark that the course is kept in exceptional condition and the greens fees are very reasonable. However, that means that it can get pretty crowded, especially on weekends, so be ready to wait a bit between holes. Regulars also rave about the snack shop before the 10th tee, which makes some of the best hamburgers in town.

Today we pay tribute to the men and women who have fought, and continue to fight, for our freedom. Thank you, veterans!

With all the stuff we have in our lives, our apartments can get pretty crowded. Each item might seem like a necessity, making it hard to part with anything. One solution? Maximize your space by finding space-saving storage solutions. Here are three ideas:

Hang pots, pans, and utensils
In many homes, the kitchen becomes a magnet attracting stuff, causing cabinets and drawers to fill up fast. One solution is to use hooks to hang stuff like mugs, utensils, and pots and pans. That way it'll be out of the way when you need to use the counter space, but ready at hand when you're set to cook.

Use your dresser drawers effectively
Dresser drawers offer storage to complement your closets. And one simple trick can help you use them more effectively: store your clothes filed front-to-back (like you'd do while shelving books) instead of simply stacking them.

Find multi-use furniture
An ottoman can double as storage for blankets and pillows. The space beneath your bed can hide plastic storage containers, and some bed frames even include drawers. Multi-use furniture can keep your stuff stored… and out of sight.
