- The film was inspired by writer and co-star Doyle Murray's memories of caddying at the Indian Hill Club, where his brothers and Ramis also caddied.
- It shot for 11 weeks in 1979 with golf scenes in Florida; Carl Spackler was not in early drafts, which centered a Danny-Maggie-Denunzio love triangle.
- A stunt double did Lacey's dive because Cindy Morgan could not see without her contacts.
- Michael O'Keefe would not play golf for 25 years because people watched and judged him on the course.
- Scott Columbia (as transcribed) and Cindy Morgan dated for two years after the movie, so Denunzio "won in real life."
- A deleted scene on YouTube has Carl teaching Ty to hit with Danny caddying, deleted for a reason.
