Best Golf Podcasts of 2023: 16 Places To Get Your Golf Fix

Updated in January 2023 to include the MuniciPals podcast.

What a time for a golf junkie to be alive.

Seriously, just consider for a minute how much golf information is available for our consumption 24/7/365. It’s non-stop.

We’ve got around-the-clock television coverage, a dedicated satellite radio channel, an uncountable number of websites, magazines, books, newsletters, and yes, podcasts.

That’s what we’re going to get into today — the best golf podcasts of 2023.

Why do we need such a list?

Because there are literally hundreds of active golf podcasts that have multiple episodes. But like anything that expansive, there’s a lot of so-so content out there.

So, we’ve checked ‘em out for you. We’ve separated the treasure from the trash.

Depending on things like your taste, your style, maybe your age, possibly even your political persuasion, there’s a golf pod that’s going to resonate with you. And there’s a very good chance that it’s on this list right here.

Save yourself the hours of searching and listening and get right to the essence of what speaks to you. 

Do you want storytelling? Humor? Instruction? Tournament recaps? Tournament previews? Course architecture analysis? Interviews? History?

Whatever it is, there’s a golf podcast specific to that topic or style.

Here are the ones we think are worth your time.

15 Best Golf Podcasts in 2023

1) FAIRGAME Golf

Get a look at the game from the perspective of tour pro and Masters champ Adam Scott, who shares what’s going on out on the road and on the course. It’s a cool peek behind the scenes.

2) No Laying Up

This is a casual, fun, and funny discussion between a few buddies who are deep into the game. The vibe is cool and loose, but the golf breakdowns are thorough. There is some language. The F-bombs might not fly quite as regularly as they do on Fore Play, but it’s close.

This is a near-daily podcast. Topics usually have to do with PGA headlines or tournament recaps, but there’s also a lot of talk about golf lifestyle and hanging out with buddies.
