While a whole new group of golfers took to the course in 2020 – and in record numbers – with that came an entirely new vibe, including music notes floating down the fairway.
With golf doing its best to appeal to a younger generation, more often than not a group of four will be playing tunes from other groups of four – the musical kind, that is. Even older golfers have started to lean into music on the course as a fun way to pass time, keep the energy up, and make a day on the course that’s much more enjoyable.
Especially while Canada continues to navigate the impact of COVID-19, and with golf courses remaining open across the country, any opportunity to participate in an activity safely should be made as joyous as possible.
Luckily some big-time brands have started listening, and we have a ton of great options for those looking to play tunes with their tee time.
WINGMAN GPS SPEAKER
A rugged option from Bushnell, the Wingman is a combined speaker and GPS device. Wingman also boasts BITE technology as a magnetic cart mount. The device gives golfers audible front, centre, and back-of-the-green distances and has just over 10 hours of battery life.

Who the hell needs music on a golf course? I go to the golf course to get away from noise.
Golf courses are places of solitude. Perfect environments combining sports and nature. Music should be banned and any course that doesn’t do so will lose my business. If you need to hear music use EAR BUDS and don’t “treat” me to your noise. This is nonsense.
No way!
if they want music use earphone !
Music on golf courses is a REALLY REALLY bad idea. I can’t believe that the obvious has to be said. I guess if someone can make a buck on it makes it ok.
Music on the course is totally unacceptable.
Nothing but another merchandise to sell and who cares if it annoys the other golfers.
Honestly, at one point in time it was considered rude if you jingled change in your pocket while someone was trying to strike the ball. Now we’ve got people on the next fairway blaring their music so loud that I can’t hear the person trying to annoy me with their jingling change. Whatever happened to showing consideration for other golfers?
You bunch of whiners. Just complaining to complain. Face it, You suck at golf. So just enjoy the fact your courses are getting more business to keep them open from us low handicappers playing our tunes enjoying the fact that we don’t hate our lives like you do. Lol
