Best Golf Channels

If golf YouTube has an elder statesman, it's Rick Shiels. A PGA pro from Bolton who's been uploading since 2011, he's racked up north of 900 million views across 2,200-plus videos, and his equipment verdicts carry enough weight to sell a driver out overnight — influence few creators in any niche can match. More than the numbers, he's done a lot to strip the stuffiness out of the game and make it feel open to ordinary players.

The sheer volume means quality varies, and some viewers feel the steady stream of equipment reviews blurs the line between independent opinion and brand-friendly content, given how closely creators work with manufacturers. Worth watching a few reviews side by side rather than taking any single verdict as gospel.

A two-time major champion running one of the most-watched player-owned channels in the sport, Bryson DeChambeau turns his scientific obsession with golf into genuinely watchable content — chasing course records, breaking par with Walmart clubs, picking apart the physics of a strike. One viral video in 2024 pulled in 471,000 subscribers in a single month, a reach that stretches well past the usual golf crowd.

He's a genuinely divisive figure — his methods, persona and move to LIV Golf all attract strong reactions — so the channel is unavoidably part personal-brand management. Take it as a window into how he sees the game rather than a neutral source, and form your own view from the footage.

Good Good built one of the tightest-knit communities in golf YouTube on a deceptively simple premise: a crew of friends needling each other through challenges, trick shots and match play. The chemistry is the product — the golf is real, but it's the banter that keeps people watching, and it's the rare golf channel that pulls in viewers who don't even play.

The group took a visible hit when Garrett Clark left to launch his solo channel GM Golf, and some longtime fans feel the energy hasn't been the same since. Worth sampling a few recent uploads to judge the current dynamic for yourself.

Danny Maude has quietly become one of the most-watched swing coaches on the platform — over 187 million views — by doing one thing very well: making fixes feel doable. His style is patient and unhurried, and he has a knack for turning fiddly mechanics into a single thought you can take to the range that afternoon. A sensible first stop when one specific part of your game is letting you down.

As with most YouTube instruction, the real risk is tip-chasing — hopping between quick fixes without ever grooving one, which can leave a swing more cluttered than before. The advice is sound; the discipline to stick with one idea is on you.

Grant Horvat's rise has been quick, and the engine behind it is access: rounds against Phil Mickelson, Jon Rahm and Bryson DeChambeau give him something most golf creators simply can't book. The format — a skilled amateur genuinely competing with elite pros — is clean, well-produced and easy to get pulled into, whatever your handicap.

It leans hard on the celebrity-pro pairing, so the appeal can hinge more on the guest than on Grant himself, and there's little to take back to your own game — it's a watch-and-enjoy channel rather than a learn-something one.

Bob Does Sports is golf with the handbrake off. Bobby Fairways, Fat Perez and the crew play loose, high-energy rounds built around bets and challenges, with tour pros like Max Homa and Jon Rahm dropping in and clearly enjoying the chaos. It's one of the funniest things in the space, and one of the few golf channels a non-golfer will happily sit through.

The humour is adult and the rounds are frequently alcohol-fuelled, which sets a clear tone — it's not for younger viewers, and there's zero instructional value. Purely entertainment, but on that score it lands consistently.

Andy Proudman and Piers Ward coach tour players for a living, and MeandMyGolf is essentially that expertise repackaged for the rest of us — structured, drill-led and methodical. There's little showmanship here; it's closer to a proper lesson than a highlight reel, which is exactly the point for golfers who want to work a specific fault with reliable guidance.

The flip side of that rigour is that it can feel dry next to the entertainment-driven channels, and the drill-heavy approach rewards golfers who'll actually put in range time rather than casual viewers after a quick fix.

After leaving Good Good, Garrett Clark turned GM Golf into one of the fastest-growing names in the space. The match-play format — taking on other creators, top amateurs, female pros and the odd surprise guest — suits YouTube perfectly, and his unfiltered competitive streak gives the videos an edge the more polished channels can lack.

That same unfiltered persona divides viewers — some find the competitiveness compelling, others abrasive — and the steady diet of match-play challenges can start to feel formulaic once you've watched a few.

The official PGA TOUR channel is the simplest route to the real thing: tournament highlights, iconic shots and player profiles straight from the source. Even if you don't follow week to week, the compilations — greatest moments, every Masters hole-in-one, walk-up drama — make it a handy reference for the sport's history.

It's a promotional channel first, so the tone stays relentlessly upbeat and the highlight format skips the slow, strategic texture that makes golf gripping live. Great for the moments, light on depth.

Peter Finch is one of British golf YouTube's steadier hands, having grown from equipment reviews into course vlogs, matches and longer-form projects. His multi-part attempts to qualify for The Open are the standout — real stakes, real pressure and an outcome nobody can script — and the channel as a whole suits golfers who want range rather than pure instruction or pure comedy.

Because it spans so many formats, the channel lacks a single clear identity, and quality can swing between the genuinely gripping series and more routine filler uploads.
