Golf’s greatest appeal lies in the places that it takes us, the memories we make and the people we meet along the way. That’s the game we celebrate on Destination GOLF. Co-hosts Simon Holt and Josh Sens have decades of experience hopscotching the globe to take in courses — and the areas around them — on every continent where the game is played. From Australia to Argentina, Cuba to North Korea, Long Island to Los Angeles, South Africa to Sweden and beyond - we've been there, and bogied them. Join Simon and Josh every Monday on Destination GOLF for a new adventure.

35: Architect Rees Jones

What do Bethpage Black, Torrey Pines, and East Lake all have in common? Besides hosting some of the most memorable events in pro golf, they all have the character they do today because of Rees Jones.

A prolific course architect with a legendary father, Rees walks us through his life growing up around Robert Trent Jones. He discusses his work on Bethpage Black, and how two decades of changes there lead us to the course that will host this fall's Ryder Cup.

Josh Sens presses Rees on the changes he's seen in the last 80 years he's spent on golf courses, and where the industry goes from here. Enjoy!
