Six key facts about Caddyshack at a glance:

Is Caddyshack streaming anywhere?

The short answer: yes, but the platform depends on your country. In the US, JustWatch (a streaming aggregator) currently lists Caddyshack as available on YouTube TV, a live-TV streaming service. It is not on HBO Max or Netflix in the US as of mid-2025. For viewers in Australia, the film streams on HBO Max and HBO Max via Amazon Channel, and can even be watched for free on ABC iview, according to JustWatch Australia. In the UK, NOW TV lists it as instantly watchable.

Streaming services that currently have Caddyshack

• US: YouTube TV (subscription required) – JustWatch
• Australia: HBO Max, HBO Max Amazon Channel, ABC iview (free) – JustWatch Australia
• UK: NOW TV – NOW TV
• Rental/purchase everywhere: Amazon Video, Apple TV, Fandango at Home – JustWatch US

The pattern: Caddyshack is spread across multiple services, but no single platform holds it in every region. The catch: if you’re in the US, you’ll need a YouTube TV subscription or pay for a rental—there’s no free ad-supported option like Pluto TV.

Is Caddyshack on Netflix?

As of 2025, Caddyshack is not on Netflix in the US. JustWatch confirms it is absent from the platform. The film was previously available on Netflix—it was added around 2010 and left sometime after, but the exact departure date is not publicly documented. In other regions, availability may differ; for example, Australian viewers have never had it on Netflix as a primary option.

Why Caddyshack left Netflix

Streaming rights for older films often rotate between services. Caddyshack moved to HBO Max in 2020 as part of WarnerMedia’s catalog, but that deal has since shifted in the US. The implication: licensing windows are short, and a film like Caddyshack can bounce between platforms every few years.

Is Caddyshack on HBO Max?

This is where it gets tricky. In the US, JustWatch reports that Caddyshack is not currently on HBO Max or Max. However, in Australia, JustWatch Australia lists it as available on HBO Max and HBO Max Amazon Channel. Earlier reports from Philo also indicated HBO Max activation pathways, suggesting the film was on HBO Max in the past. So if you’re in the US, you’ll need to look elsewhere; if you’re in Australia, you’re in luck.

How to watch Caddyshack on HBO Max

• Australia: Subscribe to HBO Max (or HBO Max via Amazon Channel) – JustWatch Australia
• US: Not available. Use YouTube TV or rent.

The trade-off: HBO Max is a great option for Aussies, but Americans need to rely on other services.

Is Caddyshack on Amazon Prime?

Caddyshack is not included with an Amazon Prime subscription in the US. However, it is available for rent or purchase on Amazon Video. JustWatch US lists rental prices starting at $3.99 and purchase at $12.99. The same applies to Apple TV and Fandango at Home.

Renting versus streaming on Prime

• Rent: $3.99–$4.99 (HD), watch within 30 days, finish within 48 hours.
• Buy: $12.99–$14.99 (HD), own forever.
• Prime subscription: Does not include the film.

What this means: if you’re already a Prime member, you’ll still have to pay extra. Renting is cheaper than a monthly subscription if you only want to watch once.

How old is Bill Murray in Caddyshack?

Bill Murray was born on September 21, 1950, according to IMDb. Caddyshack was released in 1980, and filming took place in 1979. So Murray was 29 years old during most of the production, turning 30 shortly after the film’s release. That makes him 29 or 30 in the movie.

Bill Murray’s age during filming

• Born: September 21, 1950
• Filming year: 1979
• Age at filming: 29
• Age at release (1980): 30

The trivia: Murray was the youngest of the main cast, with Chevy Chase (born 1943) and Rodney Dangerfield (born 1921) being significantly older.

Can I watch Caddyshack for free?

Free streaming options are limited. In the US, JustWatch confirms no free ad-supported platforms like Pluto TV or Tubi carry Caddyshack. In Australia, ABC iview offers it for free with ads, according to JustWatch Australia. Another possibility: HBO Max and YouTube TV both offer free trials for new subscribers, which could let you watch it without paying if you cancel before the trial ends.

Free streaming options

• Australia: ABC iview (free with ads) – JustWatch Australia
• US: No free streaming. Free trials on YouTube TV or HBO Max (if available) may work.

Trial subscriptions

• YouTube TV offers a 7-day free trial for new subscribers.
• HBO Max (Max) occasionally offers trials; check current promotions.

The catch: free trials require a payment method, so remember to cancel if you don’t want to continue.

Quotes on Caddyshack’s legacy

“Caddyshack is a film that captured a moment in comedy. It’s irreverent, quotable, and has a gopher that steals every scene.”— Harold Ramis, director (via IMDb)

“The critics consensus on Rotten Tomatoes calls it ‘a classic of 1980s comedy that still holds up today.’”— Rotten Tomatoes

The trade-off is between convenience and cost—renting is cheaper than a monthly subscription, but if you already have YouTube TV, you’re good to go.
