Wisconsin Shores
Sheboygan, Wisconsin
A links style round of golf off Lake Michigan
Here in the land of bratwurst, where the cheese flows as freely as the beer, exists a golf course that is both hardy and immaculate. While the uninitiated might not identify Sheboygan, Wisconsin as a golfing mecca, don’t let its place on the map fool you. It begins with Lake Michigan, which serves as both eye candy and obstacle, swallowing wayward golf balls with ease. Second to this challenge are the fescue and deep pot bunkers that blanket Wisconsin Shores like landmines, showcasing all that this area is capable of. Tying the entire masterpiece together are some of the smallest greens the game has seen in some time, adding angst to each approach. The key here is to stay safe and dry. Unless we’re talking about that pint glass. Fill that thing up. You’re gonna need it.
Trailing Pines
Aspen, Colorado
An 18 hole trek down the side of a Rocky Mountain
Thousands of feet down below, surrounded by an ocean of luxury condos and homes with price tags one couldn’t begin to fathom, the destination rests. There’s only one way to get there. You must play your way down. Trailing Pines, a popular Aspen, Colorado ski resort turned golf course, is equal parts experience and adventure. The warm spring weather has melted most of the snow, but the remnants of winter still exist here and there. It’s the Rocky Mountains, after all. And to find your way to the bottom of the mountain, one will face familiar elements—sand, water and plenty of trees that guide the ski trails that have commandeered for something far more impressive. We would tell you not to look down, the reality is quite the contrary.
Neon Palms
Miami, Florida
Golf at night on bright, vibrant South Beach
When the sun goes down, this city comes to life. The music blares, the lights illuminate the sky and the party starts anew. The cars are fast, the food is exceptional and clothing is essentially always optional. Welcome to South Beach, Florida, home of many temptations and the magnificent Neon Palms. The spirit of this glorious destination is captured across 18 truly original golf holes, all of which will be played at night. The course is properly Miami, from the shape of the bunkers to the abundance of palm trees. Along the way, you’ll get glimpses of some of South Beach’s finest establishments along with the Atlantic Ocean. You’ll feel the energy and culture that blankets this place every day, no matter what the calendar says. Enjoy the sights and sounds, but not too much. There’s a score to be settled.
Caramel Coast
Carmel Bay, California
A championship course on the cliffs of the Pacific Ocean
The waves will serve as your orchestra as they crash into the shore, one by one, narrating every moment you consume on this California jewel. Here in Carmel Bay, everything is easy on the eyes. But with this picturesque placement on the California coast, with thousands of miles of Pacific Ocean standing between you and the next piece of land, the game will be put to the test. The cliffs are both jagged and beautiful, capable of dazzling you in one moment and ruining your scorecard in the next. The same can be said about that ocean, the enormous bunkers and trademark Cypress trees scattered throughout. They have all been designed with you in mind, ready to cloud lines of sights and clutter landing spots. Take a picture or two, but don’t lose sight of the task at hand. Otherwise, it’ll be a long day.
Puesta Del Sol
Palm Desert, California
An exclusive country club in the California desert
To play here, you need to know the right people. Simple as that. That’s about the only chance you’ll have to get on Puesta Del Sol, one of the most exclusive golf clubs in the country. While you’ll never interact with the San Jacinto Mountains that tower in the distance, you’ll be in constant admiration of the backdrop. And while the rest of the course takes a page out of the Golden Tee desert handbook, never has such a setting been as pristinely crafted as this. There are perfectly shaped man-made ponds and exceptionally maintained flowerbeds. Yes, the desert comes to life if you’re willing to pay. There are also strategically placed rocks and plenty of rugged elements that pack a punch. Normally, they would ask for you to be on your best behavior. Not us. Jean shorts and a cutoff t-shirt will work just fine.

Teal Gardens Re-Teed — Coming January 2027
Sakamoto, Japan
Play a round in the serine landscape and gardens of Japan
On the other side of the world, in the quaint village of Sakamoto, is a Golden Tee course full of life and culture. This was Golden Tee’s first-ever course in Japan, first appearing in Golden Tee 2017. Now, years later, the tee boxes have completely been remade and placed throughout. In fact, it’s hard to know exactly where to start with Teal Gardens, which is rich in tall bamboo and obstacles that are magnificent in scale. The sand traps have been constructed with the region in mind, while the structures and architecture suit the region perfectly. It is peaceful out here, but that peace can be interrupted with one faulty tee shot. Be one with the course, take in the sights and let this one-of-a-kind creation do the rest.
Greek Hills Re-Teed — Coming January 2027
Gora, Greece
Golf in the Olive Groves of the Corinthian Hills
Surrounded by more than 1,000,000 trees, with the Corinthian Hills weaving in and out of play, is a golf course rich in elements and sunlight. We have traveled to Gora, Greece to play a round of golf, and it’s all as spectacular as it sounds. Back to those hills, they will make their presence felt right away, shielding shot lines and protecting the places you want to land. Back in 2014, when Greek Hills first debuted, the shots made sense. Now, with fresh tee boxes scattered throughout, players must navigate this magnificent terrain to declare themselves victorious. If you roll with it, and you will, the good times (and shots) will follow.
Turtle Island Re-Teed — Coming January 2027
Galapagos, Ecuador
A true golf adventure in the Galapagos Islands
Squarely on the equator, nearly 600 miles from the coast of Ecuador, is a place capable of magic. Home of more than 9,000 different species, including some you’ll find only here, the Galapagos Islands are unlike any place on earth. Back in 2014, Golden Tee decided it was time to bring an 18-hole course to this sacred place. And more than 10 years later, new tees have been added to this tropical destination. The water is crystal blue, the sunshine is plentiful and the lava (yes, lava) will eviscerate any golf ball that comes near. If you’re willing to make the long voyage to get here, we promise it’ll be worth your while. Never has the game gone to a place so full of life.
Champ ’96 Remastered — Coming January 2027
Aspen, Colorado
A Colorado course originally built for the GT World Championship
Three decades ago, an idea was formed. The goal was to take an original course setting—the location, the vibe, etc.—and use that setting as a template for a unique 18-hole layout that could be featured at Golden Tee’s premier live event and ONLY this live event. Inspired by Pine Meadow, this Colorado creation was built with the sole purpose of crowning a champion. And now, 30 years later, a creation that was played by only a handful of players has been recrafted as it once was. Don’t let the Colorado setting fool you; you won’t be climbing up or down mountains here. Instead, you’ll navigate tall pine trees, tighter fairways and a layout that was built with the most skilled players in mind. Deep from the archives of Golden Tee comes a challenge unlike any before.
Coral Vista Remastered — Coming April 2027
Palm Beach, Florida
A Florida resort course and recreation from Golden Tee 2005
Ah, resort golf. There’s nothing like it. As the kids enjoy an afternoon at the pool with room charge access at their fingertips, you have the luxury of playing at this fabulous Palm Beach, Florida. Oh, the tradeoff is worth it. More than 20 years ago, Coral Vista launched when Golden Tee LIVE was born. Now, this sunshine drenched destination has been rebuilt, staying true to the layout but with entirely new art. The colossal hotels that intersect the holes will still be very much in play, only those have been drastically renovated. There are cruise ships and flamingos and alligators. It’s Florida, after all. And the very subtle challenges that made this course so popular when it was introduced have all been accounted for. Longtime fans of the course will be thrilled and newcomers will be dazzled. All are welcome.
