Highway 18 is an American reality television game show that premiered on Golf Channel on July 22, 2008, after being filmed in April 2008. [1] Set in Florida, the series is hosted by Keri Murphy. [2] [3] The show features five teams of twosomes racing against each other in a series of challenges to complete a "Clubhouse Challenge" allowing them to move to the next round, in a format based on The Amazing Race. [4] The show airs Tuesday nights at 10pm on Golf Channel.
Show format
Each week, the five teams are given clues to a location to which they must all race. On arriving, they will have a challenge that will test one part of their golf game.
Once they complete this mini-challenge, they will be given clues to get to their next location. This could be another test, a quiz, or the Clubhouse Challenge.
Clubhouse Challenge
The final showdown each week is the Clubhouse Challenge. The teams must play a hole, either both playing or alternating strokes, and complete the hole as quickly as possible. Once the hole is completed, they must rush back to the Clubhouse and retrieve a golf ball. The team who arrives last will lose that challenge. Losing a challenge once will give the team a strike, but losing a second time will be the end of the road for that team.
