#1 – Happy Gilmore (1996)

We’re partial to Happy Gilmore because it was filmed here in BC at Furry Creek Golf & Country Club. Classic Adam Sandler! Bob Barker is a scream too. We like the cameo shot of NHL hockey star, Vincent Cavalier, in the hockey tryouts scene.

#2 – Caddyshack (1980)

Silly slapstick comedy that still makes us laugh. Bill Murray, Chevy Chase, Ted Knight and Rodney Dangerfield at their comedy best. Here’s a great montage “Caddyshack in a Minute”:

#3 – Tin Cup (1996)

Dennis Quaid and Rene Russo have chemistry in this romantic comedy.
Best quote: “I tend to think of the golf swing as a poem…”

#7 – Pat and Mike (1952)

Another classic movie goes on our list of best golf movies. This George Cukor comedy stars Spencer Tracy and Katharine Hepburn. Witty dialogue, romantic tension and great acting. Katharine Hepburn did all of her own golfing in this film.

#10 – Three Little Beers (1935)

Last on our Top 10 list is this classic starring the three stooges. The three brothers enter a company golf tournament not knowing anything about golf.

The WORST golf movie of all times – Caddyshack II (1988)

Unfortunately, the follow-up to Caddyshack was a stinker. This film stars Randy Quaid, Chevy Chase, Dan Aykroyd, Jonathan Silverman, Jackie Mason, Robert Stack, Dyan Cannon and Chynna Phillips. Chevy Chase is funny but his efforts are not good enough to help this tame and lame sequel.
