The State of Golf Content on YouTube in 2025: Entertainment, Instruction, and What’s Next
Golf content on YouTube has exploded over the past few years, turning the platform into one of the most important spaces for growing the game. What started as a few instructors sharing swing tips has evolved into a full-blown community of creators producing everything from golf entertainment to instruction, equipment reviews, and even full-scale tournaments. In 2025, YouTube golf channels are shaping how fans experience the game. No matter what you’re looking for, there is bound to be a channel on that fits the bill.
Golf as Entertainment
One of the fastest-growing categories is entertainment-first golf content. These creators focus on making golf fun to watch for everyone, regardless of skill level.
Bob Does Sports leads the way in this space, turning casual rounds into hilarious content. Their blend of comedy, personalities, and relatable golf moments makes the game feel less about scorecards and more about the shared experience. From challenges to just playing golf, there is a great mix on the channel to keep you entertained for hours.
On the smaller side, The Chapel Golf Club has been carving out its own niche proving that you don’t need millions of subscribers to have an impact. They have a backyard golf course setup where they play with wiffle balls and wedges. They make easily digestible videos, typically a few minutes, that are entertaining. It features a father and son competing with one another, with the occasional friend showing up as well. From trying to set a new course record to just competing with one another, this channel delivers some great stuff!
Instruction Goes Mainstream
The other major side of YouTube golf is instruction. Once limited to expensive lessons or old-school DVDs, golf instruction is now free, accessible, and global.
Grant Horvat has quickly become one of the most popular instructional-ish channels. His easy-to-digest swing tips and drills make improvement feel approachable, not overwhelming. Horvat balances technical knowledge with personality, keeping his audience engaged with collaborations from other creators or professionals. He recently did a video with Luke Combs which is a great watch. On top of that, Grant has teamed with Lefty, the great Phil Mickelson, to take on other pros, celebrities, or athletes in a 2v2 match. Phil’s competitive streak is glaringly obvious in these videos, but he is also quick to offer tips and go into detailed, easy to understand instruction for shots throughout.
Golf Sidekick is another standout. Instead of chasing distance or perfection, he focuses on course strategy and mindset. His content is designed for everyday golfers who want to score smarter and enjoy the game more.
Instructional golf YouTubers in 2025 are bridging the gap between professional-level knowledge and recreational players. This democratization of teaching has opened doors for golfers who never thought lessons were possible.
Blending Styles
Many creators now combine entertainment with instruction, creating a hybrid model that appeals to a wide audience.
I feel like Josh Mayer Golf is a strong example of this trend. He has a series of videos where he toured college golf facilities throughout the country, showing what they put into their golf programs. But that’s not it, he’s taken new golfers from beginner to making par in just hours. The video where he works with his dad is a must watch. He’s done gear reviews, golf resort reviews, and even entered a professional speed golf tournament. Josh does this all while encouraging people to play the game and have a good time.
The Bryan Bros continue to build on their reputation which started with some trick shot content, but today has grown into what I would call a pure golf channel with some laughs along the way. Brothers Wesley and George play competitively with each other and other creators all the time. They frequently collab with Grant Horvat, producing some very entertaining golf with a few chirps here and there that only brothers could pull off with one another.
This blend works because audiences don’t want to choose between lessons and laughs; they want both.
The Bigger Picture
Golf on YouTube in 2025 is about more than just individual channels. It’s about collaboration and community.
Events like the Internet Invitational and other creator-led tournaments show how powerful the space has become. These events bring multiple golf YouTubers together, create story lines, and draw massive audiences who tune in for both the competition and the personalities.
Technology has also expanded the scope of content. From VR golf setups to affordable launch monitors, creators can film anywhere. On the course, in the garage, or on a simulator. That accessibility makes golf content more relatable and encourages new players to give the game a try.
YouTube has become the new global clubhouse for golf. It’s where instruction, entertainment, and community come together.
Final Thoughts: Golf for Everyone, Everywhere
Golf on YouTube is thriving in 2025. From the comedy-driven rounds of Bob Does Sports, to the strategy-first lessons of Golf Sidekick, to hybrid creators like Josh Mayer, there’s truly something for everyone. What makes this movement so powerful is its inclusivity. YouTube has made golf more approachable, more fun, and more connected. You no longer need to be a scratch player or belong to a private club to feel like you’re part of the golf community, you just need a Wi-Fi connection. For golfers like me, who face challenges both on and off the course, this content is a reminder that golf isn’t just about perfection. It’s about showing up, learning at your own pace, laughing at the bad shots, and celebrating the small victories.
And that’s why YouTube golf matters. It’s golf for everyone, everywhere.
