Best in Golf: All of Our Favorite Golf Product and Course Reviews

I’ve reviewed hundreds of golf products and played hundreds of golf courses in the 10+ years that I’ve been writing here at Breaking Eighty.

It’s truly become one of the best places on the internet to get honest opinions about which products to buy and which courses to play. 

There’s so much conflicting information out there. One of the appeals of this site is that you’re getting first-hand reviews from one person who has used nearly every single product and played every course reviewed on the site.

Because of that, we’re able to compare and contrast in a way that other sites with teams of writers are unable to.

This post is simply a directory of all of our “Best of” golf content we’ve published here. 

Whether you’re looking for a new rangefinder, trying to find a great new course to play, or simply want to find a good golf gift for a friend – this is the page where you’ll find all of our content related to that.

Ready?

Let’s go.

Best Golf Balls: Our Favorite Balls for Each Type of Golfer

Teeing off on 16 at Bandon Dunes with the Vice Pro Plus. Made a par. Coincidence?

Whether you’re a scratch golfer or just starting out, there is a ball out there for you. Chances are? You’re playing with the wrong one. If you’re sick of not hitting it as far as you think you should, or your slices are egregiously bad, rather than just pretty bad – consider switching up the ball you’re playing.

Despite the cache, ProV1s aren’t for everyone.

Best Golf Push Carts: 7 Push Carts for the Walking Golfer

There’s something to be said for walking a golf course. Exercise, connection to the game, the list goes on. But lugging a heavy bag up and down a course for 6 miles? It can be exhausting.

The Breaking Eighty Top 100 List

The 17th at National Golf Links of America

It started with publishing my favorite 25 courses I’d played.

Then as I traveled and played more and more courses throughout the years, it became a top 50 list. Then top 75.

Every December I now publish the list of my top 100 courses.

These aren’t the courses I think are objectively the best. Rather they’re my favorite courses, and the only thing you need to know, is that I place higher emphasis on one thing more than any other: fun.

We’re slowly working our way through our list of the best golf courses in each state. 

You can find the ones we’ve done so far below.

People flock to Arizona in the winter, but does the quality of golf courses match up with their off-season climate?

Best Golf Courses in California

Spyglass Hill

Simply put, California is in the running for the best golf state in the country. It has top privates, top publics, and fantastic courses in literally every single landscape.

Best Golf Courses in Colorado

Colorado Golf Club is one of the more underrated courses in the US in our opinion.

When you think of Colorado, golf probably isn’t the first thing that comes to mind. Beautiful mountains, winter activities, and more highlight the Keystone State.

But if you look closer? There is some excellent golf to be found as well.

Best Golf Courses in Connecticut

The famed Biarritz hole at Yale

A small state with very close proximity to NYC, Connecticut has some wonderful golf courses, including one of the most underrated courses in the world: Yale.

Best Golf Courses in Georgia

The 11th at Creek Club.

Some of the biggest surprises in my golf life were in Georgia. There is a shockingly high number of excellent courses that all get overshadowed due to one very obvious course that hosts a little tournament each April.

Best Golf Courses in Massachusetts

The 16th at Boston Golf Club.

There are few states in the country that have the history of Massachusetts. 

Same goes for golf.

Boasting some of the oldest courses in the country, as well as some of the best modern courses, there’s something for everyone in this state.

Best Golf Courses in New York

The par 5, 9th at Winged Foot with the clubhouse behind it.

If there were an award for best private golf state in the country, it’s likely going to go to New York. Between Westchester and the Hamptons you’ll find some of the most spectacular (and exclusive) venues in golf.

Best Golf Courses in Oregon

The 14th on the Nicklaus Course at Pronghorn.

Alternatively to New York, want to talk about one of the best public golf destinations in the country? Oregon is one to consider, considering close to 10% of the top 100 public courses in the country come from the state.
