Twenty years ago, Al Czervik bought Bushwood Country Club, after he passed, it was left in the hands of his son, Phil Czervik (Darrell Hammond).
The club is far less exclusionary than in the past, but the poor economy has hit the Czervik family hard and Phil may be forced to sell the club to an interested buyer, airline magnate Peter Forrester (Alec Baldwin) who wants to turn Bushwood into an elite property for the super rich.
Meanwhile, fun loving cattle baron Bob Porter (Ron White) is playing 36 holes like he does every weekend when he hears of the club's impending sale, he tells Czervik that his golf pro friend informed him that the PGA Tour is looking for an emergency venue for the PGA Championship after a sewer main busted and ruined the course they had planned to use, and the money they would get paid to host the event would be enough to keep Phil from having to sell Bushwood.
Phil has two weeks to turn the golf course into a real challenge for the pros, so he turns to head greens keeper Dave Spackler (Chris Pratt), who eagerly accepts the challenge, happily sharing the news with his pet gopher.
Forrester discovers that Czervik is in more financial trouble than he lets on and leans on Phil to sell the club to him immediately, knowing the tournament will make the club even more enticing to his wealthy friends, Czervik refuses and Forrester decides to sabotage the club's chances with the PGA.
Spackler enlists the help of the club's golf pro, retired tour champion Happy Gilmore (Adam Sandler), who left the tour after winning several majors and settled down so he could spend more time with his wife (Julie Bowen) and kids.
Together they manage to turn the course into a sufficient challenge and the PGA agrees to move the tournament to Bushwood, despite Forrester's scheming.
Forrester and Porter get into a disagreement on the course as Forrester gets angry at Porter and his friends for taking forever, they argue, Porter wins the war of words and Forrester vows revenge.
Just before the tournament begins, Phil's financial issues are getting out of hand and he has no choice to sell the club, Forrester is pleased until Porter makes a better offer, Forrester matches the offer and Czervik decides to let the two men settle things during the Pro-Am before the tournament, winner gets to buy Bushwood.
Forrester smugly makes a side wager with Porter before the match, which Bob agrees to before Forrester reveals that he's a zero handicap and his partner is the hottest rookie on the tour.
Then Porter's golf pro friend arrives, ready to partner with him in the Pro Am, and Forrester's smug expression vanishes when he sees Tiger Woods.
Porter and Woods beat Forrester, who cries foul until Happy decks him, Porter agrees to buy 49% of Bushwood so Czervik can keep control, and Dave's father Carl (Bill Murray) who is now bald and dressed in Tibetan monk robes, congratulates his son on his fine work, but gets upset at the sight of Dave's pet gopher.
Good guys win, bad guys lose, everyone's gonna get laid, etc.
I'm sure it could be better if I gave more than 20 minutes thought to it, but like I said, I was bored.
