The Golf Up North newsletter brings together everything that makes the game enjoyable, stories from the course, a bit of humor, course updates, and the occasional historical nugget. It’s a mix of insight and entertainment, written for golfers who appreciate the game beyond just the scorecard. If you enjoy golf with a side of personality, you’ll feel right at home here.
We invite you to share your favorite courses with us—send photos and a few sentences about why you love them to marisa@golfupnorth.com. We’ll feature your contributions in our newsletter and on social media, and as a token of our appreciation, we’ll send you some exclusive Golf Up North schwag!
