Staff WriterThe Good Good Lonestar Shootout is rolling into Horseshoe Bay Resort faster than a three-footer on slick Bermuda, promising an irresistible collision of digital stardom and gridiron glory.
On Wednesday, 6 June 2025, the 12-hole spectacle will commandeer the resort’s Robert Trent Jones Sr.–designed Apple Rock Course, with cameras flipping from Good Good’s own YouTube channel at 3 p.m. CDT to an exclusive Golf Channel window an hour later.
A cast built for clicks – and clout
Good Good Golf’s six-pack of creators—Garrett Clark, Matt Scharff, Tom “Bubbie” Broders, Stephen Castaneda, Brad Dalke and Sean Walsh—already entertain more than two million subscribers with trick-shot swagger and match-play mischief.
Now they’ll try to keep their YouTube bravado intact while Heisman hero Reggie Bush, former MVP Matt Ryan and defensive talismans Joe Haden, Dan Orlovsky, Patrick Peterson and Andrew Whitworth send tight spirals down the fairways.
“Good Good Golf and its stars have revolutionised golf entertainment, and the Good Good Lonestar Shootout promises to be one of their most electrifying events to date,” said Anthony Holder, Horseshoe Bay Resort’s director of golf operations.
“Good Good events draw incredible crowds, and this one also includes an exciting roster of former NFL greats, so get your tickets early and prepare for an amazing display of golf, entertainment and unforgettable times at Horseshoe Bay Resort and the spectacular Apple Rock Golf Course. The chance to get close to action like this is absolutely not to be missed.”
Hill-Country curtain-raiser: Corey Kent live on the lawn
The party actually starts the night before. Platinum-selling country artist Corey Kent plugs in on Tuesday, 3 June (7 p.m. CDT) on the resort’s Live Oak Lawn, teeing up a sunset set where fans can mingle with the Good Good crew and their NFL counterparts.
General-admission tickets cost $30, while a cushy $200 VIP pass buys stage-front access, hors d’oeuvres, open bar and a private-pavilion perch—plus parking that won’t require a marathon hike in cowboy boots.
Tickets, travel and tee-times
- Golf showdown (4 June): $25 general admission.
- Corey Kent concert (3 June): $30 GA / $200 VIP.
- Stay-and-play bundles: Horseshoe Bay Resort has room-and-ticket packages that corral both happenings under one reservation.
Tickets and accommodation deals are available now through Horseshoe Bay Resort’s website, while Good Good is fanning the hype on social media faster than a launch-monitor readout.
Why this shootout matters
Since launching in 2020, Good Good’s content has racked up eight-figure view counts and turned the Desert Knockout and Midwest Open into viral yardages.
The Good Good Lonestar Shootout extends that blueprint, marrying short-form storytelling with live TV and injecting a dose of NFL star power rarely seen outside a pro-am. Matt Kendrick, Good Good Golf CEO, put it succinctly:
“We are excited to bring Good Good Golf to the golf fans of Texas for a thrilling competition between this talented group of NFL legends and our Good Good creators.
Horseshoe Bay Resort is the ideal place to showcase the beauty of the Texas Hill Country and to play host to both the 12-hole competition and the Corey Kent Concert to kick off the event.”
The backdrop: Horseshoe Bay’s four-course playground
Perched on the shores of Lake LBJ, the 7,000-acre resort is hardly a one-course wonder.
Alongside Apple Rock sit sister layouts Ram Rock, Slick Rock and members-only Summit Rock—plus a floodlit, 18-hole Whitewater putting course that keeps the buzz running long after the Hill Country sunset.
With that scenery, a six-figure YouTube lens and some Hall of Fame shoulders swinging golf clubs instead of shoulder pads, the Good Good Lonestar Shootout looks primed to blend laughs, cut-throat competition and Texas-sized theatrics into one mighty online drawcard—and, just maybe, the most fun Wednesday afternoon golf has seen since someone invented the scramble.
