Best Golf Podcasts of 2025: 10 Places To Get Your Golf Fix

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 2025.

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.

My Current Favorite Golf Podcasts

1) Vanity Index Podcast

I’m going to be totally honest, there’s only one podcast on this list that I religiously listen to every episode of: Vanity Index.

It’s definitely a show that’s slightly inside baseball. There’s a lot of talk of exclusive top 100 clubs, plenty of references to the host’s home course (Lakeside in LA), and is hosted by two guys who are definitely in the inner circle of golf media.

Chad Mumm is one of the driving forces behind a number of modern golf media productions, most notably Full Swing on Netflix.

Wells Adams is the bartender from Bachelor in Paradise. Seriously. But not only is the guy very knowledgeable on golf, he’s super entertaining, and his television background makes him a very polished co-host.

Simply put, it may not be for everyone, but it’s far and away my favorite golf podcast at the moment. Now I just need to go play Lakewood, so I have a frame of reference for these holes they keep talking about.

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.

3) The Rick Shiels Golf Show

Rick Shiels covers all things golf in a very casual, fun, relatable way. The Englishman gives his opinions on new golf products, tells you about his experiences playing at cool tracks and with interesting people, and covers the news in the golf world. He’s not pushy with his perspective, and his takes on things are always well researched and interesting.

New episodes, an hour in length, each Tuesday.

4) The Golfers Journal

Host Tim Coyne goes deep every two weeks on something interesting in the game. Each episode, lasting about an hour, features a different guest. The aim here isn’t to cover everything but instead to give solid, in-depth coverage on something specific and interesting.

5) Fore Play by Barstool Sports

Fore Play is one of the hottest golf podcasts going right now, but it’s not for everyone. Lots of language with a very casual vibe — this one’s for golf addicts who want to be entertained as they are informed. Hosts Trent, Riggs, Frankie, and Lurch — each of them characters — give their no-holds-barred takes on everything golf, from the pro game to casual home course rounds. If you like your golf news fun and funny, here it is.

Episodes are weekly and usually go for around two hours.

6) GOLF’s Subpar

Former PGA Tour pro Colt Knost and his buddy Drew Stoltz give their weekly takes on all things professional golf. This is an interesting look through people connected in the game. They regularly have big-time guests and often have some behind-the-scenes intel. Episodes are about an hour.

7) Fairway Rollin’

Host Joe House chops it up with a bunch of different golf-world characters, many of them from the roster of talent at the Ringer. House is entertaining and loves to talk golf gambling. So, if you like a little action and are looking for picks, this podcast always has you covered. 

House posts at least one episode a week and sometimes up to three. Most of them are about an hour long.

8) The Fried Egg

This podcast aims to go deeper, and if you’re a golf nut, it won’t disappoint. These guys thoroughly cover things like golf course design and architecture, iconic historic moments, in-depth interviews, tour headlines, and more. New episodes typically drop every four to five days, and most are about an hour in length.

If you’re serious about all aspects of the game and want a real in-depth look, you gotta give this one a try.

9) The Shotgun Start

This is an (almost) daily quick-hitter (usually about 30 minutes) dose of golf news. Topics range from news from the pro tours around the world to amusing takes on the amateur game that the rest of us play. Hosted by Andy Johnson of the Fried Egg and Brendan Porath.

10) MuniciPALS Golf Podcast

A really enjoyable show with some great guests, focusing primarily on publicly accessible golf across the country. There’s a particular focus on West Coast golf as well, which being a west coast native, I really enjoy.
