Alisal Signature Experiences
A Men's California Ranch Experience
Meet Your Host
Josh Temple
With a career that spans TV, construction, and a lifelong love of golf, Josh Temple is the ultimate host for a weekend like Westward. A seasoned actor and television personality, Josh has appeared on hit shows like Curb Your Enthusiasm and Will & Grace, and has hosted major series for HGTV, NBC, and Discovery, including House Crashers, Disaster House, Flipping the Block, Beach Flip, and America’s Toughest Jobs.
But when he’s not in front of the camera or building homes in Los Angeles, Josh is chasing birdies. A passionate golfer since childhood, he’s played courses all over the world and maintained a single-digit handicap for over 40 years. He even brought his love for the game to the screen as host of The Clubhouse for three seasons. Josh brings sharp wit, easygoing energy, and a deep appreciation for a perfectly played round — the ideal combination for this one-of-a-kind experience at Alisal Ranch.
Meet the guys.

Outside the kitchen, Meehan is an avid golfer and spends as much time as possible on the greens. He also cherishes time with his family at their Culver City home and is a passionate supporter of Chelsea FC.
