Family-friendly golf course puts cheating couple on blast over parking lot affair: Not ‘Jerry Springer'
NEWYou can now listen to Fox News articles!
Of all the hazards a golf course might face, a parking lot affair by the recycling bin wasn’t exactly on the scorecard for Skylinks at Buchanan Fields in California.
For the business, a public 9-hole course in East Bay, the biggest drama of the season hasn’t come from a bunker or a blown putt.
It has come from two parked cars in the far corner of the lot, where an alleged weekly rendezvous has transformed a family-friendly fairway into the site of a full-blown soap opera.
A spicy Instagram post from the course lit up social media last week with this opening line:
“To the late 30’s married wife in the black car who’s having a secret affair and with the guy in the smaller silver car who’ve decided to using (sic) the back right corner of our Skylinks carpark to meet weekly… PLEASE STOP.”

Skylinks Golf posted this message to Instagram in April 2025, publicly calling out a suspected affair occurring weekly in the back of its parking lot. (@skylinksgolf via Instagram)
That blunt PSA, posted without names but full of implication, quickly went viral, racking up shares, memes, and speculation from curious commenters and suspicious spouses across the Bay Area and beyond.
“We’re a family golf course — not some Jerry Springer family destruction zone,” the post concluded, before warning: “If it happens again, we’ll drop the footage and watch all hell break loose.”
In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the golf course’s owner, a New Zealand native who goes simply by “Kiwi,” confirmed the post was very real, the footage does exist, and no, this is not a marketing stunt.
“We’re a small, community course in Concord — not a drive-thru hookup spot for cheaters,” Kiwi said, deadpan. “This isn’t the kind of hole-in-one we encourage.”
According to Kiwi, staff began noticing the pattern about two months ago with the same cars, the same day of the week, and the same far corner of the lot, which sees basically zero legitimate golf traffic.

“You don’t park way in the back to go play a quick round,” Kiwi said. “There’s no reason to be near the recycling bin unless you’re dropping off cardboard… or something else.”
The maintenance crew, which starts work around 5 a.m., would routinely spot the black car and silver car pulling in one after the other.
“One of our guys finally said, ‘Here they go again — early bird smash session in the car park,’ and after that we couldn’t un-hear it.”
It became a running joke, until it wasn’t.
“It’s a family space. I’ve got two daughters. We’ve got kids playing under the pomegranate tree 20 feet from where this was happening. At a certain point, it’s just gross. Like — go to the hotel across the street. It’s 100 yards away, and it has doors.”
Once Skylinks posted the PSA, things got even messier. The post went viral, and the DMs flooded in.
“We started getting messages from people saying, ‘Hey, I think I know who this is. Send me the footage.’ Like, no! That’s not what we’re doing here,” Kiwi said. “We’re not here to destroy people’s lives. We just want them to stop using our parking lot like it’s a poorly disguised drive-in.”
One man even contacted the course because his wife drives a black car and he “just wanted to be sure.”
The sun rises over Skylinks at Buchanan Fields in Concord, Calif., a public course that recently went viral after its owner warned alleged cheaters to stay off the lot. (@skylinksgolf via Instagram)
“That’s when I knew this thing had really blown up,” Kiwi laughed.
Despite all the attention, Kiwi says the footage will stay locked up — for now. “We’ve got the footage, and yes, it’s very clear what’s going on. But no, we’re not releasing it. This is still a family business, not an episode of Dateline.”
Still, the viral fame has brought new attention to Skylinks, a public course with a comeback story of its own.
Once nearly shut down, the course was revived by Kiwi after he bought it a little over a year ago. Since then, he’s tripled business and turned it into a thriving community hub, he said.
“We think of ourselves as a community club, not a country club,” Kiwi said. “It’s full of people just learning to play, local families, and folks grabbing lunch and hitting a bucket of balls.”

Kiwi, originally from New Zealand and married to an American, personally learned how to golf at Skylinks and fell in love with the course before buying it.
Though the tone of the post was cheeky, their message is serious. While Skylinks has seen some curious newcomers trying to park near the now-infamous dumpster for a photo op, Kiwi is hoping the viral attention fades and the back lot goes back to being empty.
And to those still tempted to turn a 9-hole golf course into a lovers’ lane?
Kiwi has one piece of advice to the public: “Keep your hole-in-ones on the course, not in our car park.”
But to the couple specifically, Kiwi had a little something extra.
“I now know who you are. I don’t know why you picked our parking lot. But what I do know is I have a very particular set of footage—footage we’ve gathered over months of running this golf course. Footage that will make me a nightmare for cheaters like you.”
“If you check into the hotel 100 yards away and keep it off my property, that’ll be the end of it. I won’t look for you, I won’t pursue you. But if you do return to the car park dumpster one more time, I’ll release the footage — and it’s game over. Good luck.”
Kiwi’s channeling of the movie “Taken” might be tongue-in-cheek, but the message is dead serious: Hook up somewhere else.

East Potomac Golf Course could close as Trump admin seeks to make renovations
The East Potomac Golf Course could, starting Monday, undergo extensive renovations under the Trump administration’s guidance, and for some the fight to try to stop that from happening continues.
Renderings of East Potomac “reimagined” as a championship golf course and a formal memorial space were included in a document obtained by the Washington Post allegedly seeking donations that will support President Donald Trump’s plans to remake parts of D.C.’s waterfront, including East Potomac Golf Course.
The renderings depict new water features and a redesigned clubhouse. They also show the golf course occupying most of the space, with much of the park’s existing bike paths and open recreational space gone.
Mike McCartin, National Link Trust Co-Founder, says these spaces are part of why the course is so special.
“It’s a great symbiotic relationship, and it goes back to the history of why this place was made in the first place to provide active recreation not just golf but a bunch of different ways of recreational activities to the residents of D.C.,” he said.
The image also appears to include fewer than 18 holes compared to the current 36 total holes.
The news organization NOTUS reported Friday that deferred maintenance work at the course would begin Monday.
Not knowing specifics of the project, like in which capacity this space will be available for D.C. residents after the upcoming renovations, makes some regulars feel uneasy.
“Golf is a game that is played by people who have a lot of resources and access to private courses, and this was the place where anybody could play and see these incredible views and come and just really be part of D.C., so I think it’s a huge loss,” said Caroline Holt, who played at the course for over 15 years.
Features that are part of the current site, including the mini golf course and the nearby East Potomac Tennis Center, also are not visible in the image.
As part of an ongoing lawsuit against the U.S. Department of the Interior, the D.C. Preservation League filed for an emergency pause Sunday to prevent the golf course from closing. The document asks a federal judge in D.C. to set an emergency status conference and to prevent the administration from undertaking any steps towards the closure.
News4 reached out to the White House for comment about the specifics of the golf course project, when the park will reopen and comment on the petition for an emergency pause. We were deferred to the Department of the Interior and are still waiting on an answer from them.
Now, who will manage the course possibly starting tomorrow or once the administration officially takes over the project? Those are questions that as of now remain unanswered. The National Link Trust Team says for now, they will be there Monday with its usual opening time of 7 a.m.
