Blind Ranking the Best Golf Trips

·28 min·2 clips

Cabot Nova Scotia takes the number one spot: a bagpiper sunset, a smash burger, and a three-hour shuttle with Wi-Fi.

1. The Golf Podcast Presented by Golficity ranks 10 golf trip destinations in a blind format, where each resort must be slotted before the next is revealed. 2. Two hosts, who go unnamed in the transcript, have visited all 10 places, and several of the stops (Streamsong, Myrtle Beach, Tobacco Road) have been covered on earlier episodes. 3. The format forces trade-offs, since the hosts say "there's no wrong answer" among the best resorts and one admits he regrets early placements once better options appear. 4. Pinehurst goes to number three as a "safe bet," Innisbrook's Copperhead goes to ten because the resort "wasn't my vibe," and Destination Kohler, home of Whistling Straits, takes number two for its food and the Caribbean-blue lake. 5. Cabot Nova Scotia is number one on the strength of a bagpiper sunset, a smash burger and a three-hour shuttle, while Sand Valley takes four and Myrtle Beach five on the strength of Caledonia and True Blue in one day. 6. Streamsong lands at six for its Black, Red and Blue courses, the six-hole warm-up course beside the Black range, and the megalodon skull in the lobby, though both hosts say they would probably slide it lower later. 7. The last slots go to the Georgia mountain resort with the new Keep course at seven, Sea Island at eight ("the best biscuits and gravy"), and Cabot Citrus Farms at nine, praised for its short course and the Karoo, which one host says "ate me up." 8. In the Fletcher question of the week, both hosts name the Players Championship as their favorite non-major, citing its March slot as the start of "the real meat" of the season and the energy at the 17th hole. 9. Tobacco Road's announcement of the Match Box, a 12-hole set of one-shotters on synthetic turf, is read aloud, with one host arguing that trees and heavy play make natural turf hard to maintain, and the pair score the name and logo at 9 and 9.5. 10. Golf travel fans comparing resorts and following course news will get the most from this.
