What is the plot of 'Love on the Right Course'?

A golfer who gives up her dream for her family, a handsome groundskeeper with a secret talent, and a setting as magical as anything Disney could conjure. All these elements weave together a tapestry that sees golfer Whitney return home to Budapest (Hungary, not Georgia, USA) after her father is injured. Left on her own to run the ailing family golf course, Whitney watches as her golfing dreams fade, until that is, she meets the course's groundskeeper Daniel -- dashing, debonair, and all the things a Hallmark hero should be. Daniel convinces Whitney to not just hold on to her golfing dreams but pursue them and convinces her to sign up for a tournament with big prize money that could save her family and its business. Is Whitney a Lilia Vu or a Paige Spiranac? Is Daniel a secret Bagger Vance? You'll have to watch and find out.

'Love on the Right Course' Main Cast

Ashley Newbrough

Ashley got her breakout role in the high-school-based series 'Radio Free Roscoe' where she played Audrey Quinlan. She then really cemented her status as a talented young actress when in 2018 she played Sage Barker in The CW series 'Privileged'. Ashley's career has been prolific since then seeing her starring in a number of rom-coms, faith-based hits, and of course, Christmas heart-warmers. You can see her next in the upcoming 'A Bestselling Kind of Love' alongside Jason Diaz and Nahanni Johnstone.

Marcus Rosner

There's a lot more to Marcus than his square-jawed good looks. Marcus's breakout role came on the hit show 'When Calls the Heart' in which he played Charles Kensignton over seven episodes. After playing Warren Johnson in the outstanding 'UnREAL' alongside Shiri Appleby and Constance Zimmer, Marcus decided to focus on movies, and although he did star in a couple of episodes of fan-favorite 'Arrow', he started making his mark in features. He did return to TV in 2023 to star alongside Nancy Travis in the series 'Ride'.

So if that's what you're looking for then 'Love on the Right Course' is exactly what you want.
