Welcome to The Hungry Golfer — a Substack for recreational golfers who enjoy good courses, even better food, and the places worth staying when you make a trip of it. No swing tips. No pressure. Just where to play, where to eat, where to stay, and the occasional nod to some very cool Hungry Golfer merch I’ve designed myself.
I’m Richard Barrett, retired, lifelong golf nut, and former tourism guy turned unofficial guide to the best fairways and feasts in the Bay of Quinte and Prince Edward County region of eastern Ontario.
After years in local tourism, I decided to channel my obsession with golf, food, and regional stories into something useful… and hopefully entertaining.
Think of this as your insider pass to:
Golf courses worth the drive
Great stays, some even right at golf courses
Post-round food and drink that make the score easier to forget
Stories about golf, food, places to stay, and other stuff.
Hungry Golfer–approved gear and gift ideas
If you love recreational golf, good food, and good company, you’re in the right place.
I hope you subscribe and join me for the ride.
Happy Golfing, Everyone.
Stay safe. Stay well. Have fun.
Richard
