47: The Courses that Just Missed the List

Golf’s greatest appeal lies in the places that it takes us, the memories we make and the people we meet along the way. That’s the game we celebrate on Destination GOLF.

Co-hosts Simon Holt and Josh Sens have decades of experience hopscotching the globe to take in courses — and the areas around them — on every continent where the game is played. From Australia to Argentina, Cuba to North Korea, Long Island to Los Angeles, South Africa to Sweden and beyond - we've been there, and bogied them. 

Join Simon and Josh every Monday on Destination GOLF for a new adventure.
