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

on August 8, 2023 at 10:56 am

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 the “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.
