Moving into a new home is a whirlwind of excitement and opportunity. Among the unpacking and planning, one of the most rewarding tasks is creating your own personalized spaces. For me, setting up my home office was a priority—a place where I could be productive yet surrounded by the things that inspire me. As a golfer, it didn’t take long to realize that my office walls provide a great opportunity to showcase art from some of the most meaningful golf courses I’ve played.
There’s something uniquely sentimental about playing a bucket list golf course. It’s not just about the game; it’s about the experience—the serene landscapes, the camaraderie with friends, the challenging holes that stick in your memory long after the scorecard is tucked away. Each round tells a story, and every course has its own personality.
For many golfers, stepping onto a new course feels like embarking on an adventure. You notice the architecture, the way the greens roll, and the backdrop that frames each hole. Maybe it’s the first time you eagle a par-5 or a picturesque sunset you’ll never forget. These moments are why we fall in love with the game—and why capturing the essence of those experiences through art holds such sentimental value.
As I begin to plan out my home office, I want to fill it with reminders of the courses that have shaped my golfing journey. Golf course art has a unique ability to transport you back to those unforgettable rounds. A framed photo or print of a course you’ve played isn’t just décor; it’s a window to cherished memories.
Imagine glancing up from your desk after a long day of meetings and seeing the 18th at Kiawah or the picturesque 4th hole at Bethpage. Or maybe, it’s a picture of my favorite local course growing up, where I’ve spent countless hours honing my swing and enjoying weekend rounds with friends. I’m hoping each piece on the wall will tell a story—my story—and it will make the space uniquely mine.
As I begin to plan out the walls, I’ve included some of my favorite golf artists and photographers' you need to check out.
Lee Wybranski – Timeless Golf Course Prints
Lee Wybranski is a master of iconic golf course illustrations. His artwork captures the timeless beauty of courses like Pebble Beach, Augusta National, and St. Andrews with a style that blends vintage charm and modern sophistication.
Christian Hafer – Moody Golf Photography
If you’re drawn to evocative imagery, Christian Hafer’s golf photography is a must-see. His ability to capture the mood of a round—the misty mornings, the golden-hour light, the quiet solitude of a great hole—is second to none. In my opinion, he’s the tip of the spear when it comes to golf course photography. Often imitated but never duplicated.
GoodBoy Originals – Golf Meets Pop Art
GoodBoy Originals offers bold, contemporary pieces that infuse golf with a pop art aesthetic. His vibrant prints feature everything from bucket list course matchbooks to pimento cheese sandwiches from Augusta. (It’s an added bonus that he has a great print selection for some of my favorite local tracks - Bethpage and Montauk Downs).
GolfDrawn – Minimalist Golf Sketches
GolfDrawn takes a minimalist approach, offering beautifully simple line art of golf holes and courses. Their designs are perfect for those who appreciate understated elegance.
Lie + Loft – Modern Golf Vibes
Lie + Loft combines a love for golf with a modern, lifestyle-driven aesthetic. Their pieces range from vintage-style posters to abstract depictions of golf landscapes.
The Negative Approach – Edgy Golf Photography
For those who crave something a little different, The Negative Approach offers golf photography with a raw, experimental edge. His work pushes the boundaries of traditional golf imagery, resulting in pieces that feel fresh and modern.
I'd love to hear of any artists or photographers I may have missed!
