Fore Birdies
or Bogeys
We play the good courses, drink at the bad bars, and stay married through both. Resort reviews for couples who'd rather have fun than break 80.
Two people, one cart, zero supervision.
We met in college, got engaged, got married in 1990, and raised three boys who now out-drive both of us. Somewhere in the middle of all that we started playing golf together — which is either the best thing you can do for a marriage or the fastest way to test one.
Now the house is quiet and the clubs are already in the trunk. Good resorts, three stars or better. The round, the room, the bourbon, the band in the corner. We tell you all of it.
Three stars or better
Course, room, food, music, and the only question that matters: would we go back together?
Three Stars or Better
4 stars
Four grey days, one heroic 4-iron from her on 16, and three holes on the edge of the Pacific.
Legacy Round
5 stars
Dad’s birthday, both boys, the island green at dusk, and a steakhouse bill we do not discuss.
Legacy Round
5 stars
Nicklaus, limestone and a waterfall on 18 — played with the boys the last summer I could still compete.
Three Stars or Better
4 stars
Three thousand palm trees on the most valuable dirt in Nevada. Two visits, eight years apart.
Cart Talk
4 stars
Old-school Vegas golf under the Stratosphere, and the strangest thing either of us has seen on a course.
The Long Game
5 stars
Fifteen years in, a white chapel on the lava, and green ribbon laid over black rock.
Three Stars or Better
4 stars
Member-guest with Sandy’s brother and his wife. New Florida golf that’s better than it sounds.
Cart Talk
4 stars
A canyon a mile from the Pacific, two hours start to finish, and a terrace at the end.
Cart Talk
4 stars
Water on every hole, three photographs on the last green, and a very good afternoon.
Spectating
Dad and the boys at East Lake. What you learn sitting on one hole for two hours.
The 2026–27 run
Booked, and shamelessly hoping. If you run one of these and want us to bring the camera, scroll one more section.
For resorts, courses, and whatever's in the cooler
Our people are in their fifties and sixties, they book four nights, and they pay for the better room. We publish honestly — that's the whole reason anyone watches — and we say so on camera when a stay is hosted.
One letter, no filler
Where we played, what it cost, what we'd do differently, and one thing that had nothing to do with golf.
