01 · Walked, not Googled
Every course, in person
We don't review what we haven't played. Each entry is the result of an actual round — sometimes two — by someone on our small team. No drone footage masquerading as judgement.
We spend our weekends chasing fairways most people will never hear of. This site is the living archive of that obsession — courses, conditions, and quiet truths we wish someone had told us first.
We started My Golf Obsession because we couldn't find writing about courses that matched how we actually felt walking off the 18th — humbled, a little sunburnt, and already trying to book the next trip.
So we wrote it ourselves. Honest notes, the wind on the 7th, what to skip in the pro shop, where to eat after. No paid placements, no breathless adjectives, no "hidden gems" that aren't.
Today the site is read in 38 countries. The mission hasn't changed — we play, we take notes, we publish. Then we do it again.
Everything we publish runs through this short filter. If a course write-up doesn't pass all three, it doesn't go up.
We don't review what we haven't played. Each entry is the result of an actual round — sometimes two — by someone on our small team. No drone footage masquerading as judgement.
We pay for our tee times. We don't accept comped rounds, sponsored placements, or "consideration" of any kind. The only thing we trade for access is honest writing — even when it stings.
Our reviews answer the questions you'd actually ask a friend. What's the wind like? Is the back nine worth the walk? What did we wish we'd known on the 4th tee? That's the bar.
A great course doesn't just test your swing — it rearranges your week. We're trying to find the ones that do, and write them down before we forget.
