Destination GOLF

Thank you to our great fans of the Destination GOLF Podcast! But after a great run, we're morphing into something new.
Check out "Playing Privileges" starting on Monday, June 8th with Jake Stoutland and Simon Holt. We'll be diving into the best premium and private experiences in the game, highlighting the best architecture, history, and people you'll find in golf.
Josh Sens isn't going anywhere though, he'll continue to lead GOLF Magazine's coverage of golf travel across the world, and at your local muni.
Enjoy Simon and Josh's wide-ranging chat about increasing affordability concerns and our favorite golf destinations.

The driving force behind Sand Valley now introduces us to his next big project. Rodeo Dunes is open for play, the first of what Michael Keiser Jr. hopes will be 6 full length courses on property. 30 minutes outside of Denver, the Coore-Crenshaw design is creating quite the stir online, even though it doesn't open to the public until 2027. Michael talks to Josh Sens in this short interview, surrounded by a fun catch up with Simon Holt. Enjoy!

After falling into a state of disrepair, the municipal courses of the nation's capital certainly need some love. They've gotten the attention of President Trump, who's pressing the gas pedal on a plan to completely redo the course and facilities of East Potomac. But are he and Tom Fazio really the right stewards of affordable, playable public golf? Are their intentions for the new course to host big-time tournaments really possible?
GOLF.com Executive Editor Alan Bastable has been reporting on this topic for weeks, visiting the folks at each of the three D.C. munis who might be impacted by the plans. He talks with Josh Sens about the timing, cost, and architecture we can expect to see as the project unfolds.

It's been a few weeks of adventure for our man Simon Holt, bouncing around the world and back again. He catches up with Josh Sens to discuss the successful launch of McLaren Golf, the 8AM Invitational at the Wynn, and a great tournament weekend at our top-rated course in China. Plus, Josh just got back from 3 days of hanging out with YouTube golf stars like Fat Perez. It's a fun, wide-ranging episode, from street food in Hong Kong to fast passes in Orlando.

On today's episode of Destination GOLF, Josh Sens catches up with producer Connor Federico on some of the biggest happenings in course news, plus we empty our notebooks on some of our favorite places and stories we've recently worked on from coast to coast. Enjoy!
