Every golfer dreams of playing the world’s most iconic courses. The Old Course at St Andrews, Augusta National and Pebble Beach would be high on the list for most. The trio have all been made famous by hosting epic Major Championships across many decades won by the greats of the game… Tiger Woods, Jack Nicklaus, Tom Watson and Co.
For the members of the Porsche Golf Circle, those dreams have become a reality in the last two years, with visits to St Andrews and Pebble Beach. In October 2022, Golf Monthly’s contributing editor Fergus Bisset had the opportunity to join Porsche’s golf community and play at ‘The Home of Golf’. A year on and I found myself standing on the first tee at Pebble Beach.
Excited (and nervous) doesn’t begin to come close to describing how I felt. The fact I hit a stone cold top off the first with my driver was unsurprising. That I walked off the tee with a smile on my face and laughing with my playing partners for the day – George from New Jersey and Jens and Mark from Germany – was equally predictable. Porsche Golf Circle events are about fun, friendship and experiences that will last a lifetime.

The Porsche Golf Circle community was founded in 2017 with the aim of bringing together people from all over the world who share a passion for golf and Porsche. It’s open to everyone, with membership benefits including tips and tutorials from brand ambassador Paul Casey, accessed through a free app that can be downloaded for Apple and Google devices. Global membership stands at over 4,000.
The Golf Circle builds on Porsche’s relationship with the sport of golf that dates back to 1988 and the introduction of the Porsche Golf Cup where golfers from all over the world who are Porsche customers have the chance to play in national competitions, with winners qualifying for a World Final that has been staged at the stunning Club de Golf Alcanada in Mallorca since 2014.
For the past eight years, the brand has also been the lead sponsor of the Porsche European Open played in Germany, won in 2019 by none other than…Paul Casey!
