The Fairway Rebel Goes, Plays & Tells It Like It Is
From Texas to tee times across the country, The Fairway Rebel dishes on the good, the bad, and the “what were they thinking?” of golf courses. Expect real opinions on course layouts, conditions, pace of play, practice areas—and yes, even the clubhouse snacks and pro shop swag. If there’s a spa, a great restaurant, or a killer cocktail nearby, you’ll hear about that too. It’s part travel guide, part golf review, all rebel perspective.
