The series is directed by Timothy Horgan, produced by Bluefoot Entertainment and Omaha Productions, and executive produced by ESPN senior writer and three-time New York Times best-selling author Wright Thompson, Russ Supplee, Timothy Horgan, and John T. Edge.

“Every course has its own soul, and it’s important that each episode does as well,” said Horgan in an announcement. “It has been a great joy to bring my incredibly talented production team to these courses and watch them do their magic. Where It Lies will unveil what it’s really like to work and play on some of the world’s best public and municipal courses.”

Episode 1 will focus on the oldest municipal course in the U.S., New York’s Van Cortlandt Park. Episode 2 crosses the country to visit Los Angeles’s Rancho Park, America’s busiest golf course. The third episode heads to “The Patch,” Augusta National’s municipal course, originally opened in 1928 but recently renovated and reopened. Episode 4 heads to the North Shore of Hawai’i to visit Kahuku, a timeless municipal gem.
