According to the National Golf Foundation, more than 12 million Americans have traveled to play golf each year since 2022. The golf travel trend continues to grow as the sport expands and gains popularity. Certain courses have become bucket-list destinations in themselves.

To help make golf travel easier and interactive, Jeff Lesson, a longtime radio and television sportscaster, newspaper columnist and host of the award-winning show Lesson on Golf, crafted The Golf Bucket List: The Ultimate Guide to the Greatest Courses and Scenic Greens.

Throughout his career, Lessons has touched on the best places to play, pointers and tips, the best equipment, golf travel, and fitness. He even was part of the broadcast team for the 2004 Ryder Cup on Westwood One Radio.

The book offers a guide for golfers who have always dreamed about traveling and playing at the most iconic courses in the world. It offers the perfect mix of course history, travel inspiration and course reflection prompts for when to play on these dream courses.

Additionally, the book features 35 public and private courses all over the world, including spots like the iconic Pebble Beach, Pinehurst No. 2, Whistling Straits, St. Andrews, Royal Melbourne, Cape Wickham and Royal County Down. The new publication also includes facts, tips and more about each course. These pages are also paired with entry spaces where players can record their experience, documenting the date, who they played with, what the weather was like, the scores, favorite and most challenging holes, places for mementos and photos, and prompts to help capture overall memories of the trip.

The Golf Bucket List: The Ultimate Guide to the Greatest Courses and Scenic Greens is flexi-bound in vegan leather and a heat-stamped cover, making it easy to travel with.
