Leave the noise behind and spend a weekend where the only thing on your schedule is exceptional golf, bold flavors, and great company. Westward is a one-of-a-kind experience for men who appreciate well-struck drives, fine spirits, and conversations that last longer than your backswing.
This year, we’re handing the reins to Josh Temple — TV host, actor, licensed contractor, and lifelong golf addict. With a single-digit handicap for over 40 years and host of The Clubhouse, House Crashers, America’s Toughest Jobs and more, Josh brings the energy, insight, and humor to match every moment. He’ll be at the center of this unforgettable few days — on the course, at the table, and around the fire.
The experience begins on Friday, February 27th, with optional early arrival for those looking to sneak in a round of golf, relax at the spa, or explore the ranch by horseback before the official kickoff. Check-in opens at 3 p.m., and by 5:30, we’ll gather for a curated spirits tasting and cocktail hour led by John Campbell, Master Distiller of Sespe Creek Distillery. It’s a warm welcome with a strong pour, setting the tone for the evening ahead. Dinner follows at 6:30, where ranch-forward flavors and fireside conversations mark the beginning of something truly memorable.
Saturday, February 28th, is all about the game. After breakfast on your own schedule, we hit the course at 10 a.m. for 18 holes on Alisal’s exclusive, guest-only golf course — a beautifully rugged layout that winds through oak-dotted hills and rolling terrain. Whether you’re out to compete or just enjoy the walk, it’s golf at its purest. In the late afternoon, we’ll transition from fairways to cigars and cocktails, with a live demonstration by El Canito Cigars. These Cuban-style masters will hand-roll a variety of premium blends on-site, sharing the craft and tradition behind each one. As the sun sets, settle in for a dinner prepared by Chef Kevin Meehan and Chef Erik Sandven, a pairing of culinary talents that promises a meal as bold and satisfying as the rest of your day.
We’ll wrap things up on Sunday, March 1st, with a final breakfast and one last optional round of golf for anyone looking to squeeze every moment out of the weekend.
Whether you’re showing up with your crew, your brother, your dad, or a few new friends, Westward is built for men who know how to enjoy the game — and the good things that come with it. So grab your buddies, pack your sense of adventure, and join us February 27 – March 1.
