The program is produced at network quality to earn the prime airtimes on top regional sports networks in major markets. Each episode mixes an entertaining reality feel using real golfers in segments where viewers can learn more about their own game, locations they might visit and products that can help them improve.
Executive Producer and series creator Michael Billingsley states, "Golf Life has been a journey to find topics real golfers find interesting and entertaining. We work to improve the content each year and believe that we often cover aspects of the golf lifestyle you can’t find anywhere else on television. While there is a network dedicated to golf, the average guy is often not the focus of most programming. The series was created to provide average golfers a program that touches on the golf lifestyle they lead or aspire to live."
