In September 2022, Adam Sandler stated that he hoped to eventually make a sequel to Happy Gilmore, saying he had been creating ideas for what a follow-up film would be, while stating the character would be involved in a senior golf tour.[4] In March 2024, Christopher McDonald revealed that a sequel was in development, and that Sandler had shown him a draft of the script to read.[5]

In May, it was announced that Netflix had greenlit the film, taking over for the first film's distributor Universal Pictures.[6] Kyle Newacheck was hired to direct the film, with Tim Herlihy co-writing the screenplay with Sandler. In July, Nick Swardson announced he would star in the film.[7] In August, Sandler revealed Benny Safdie would have a role in the film,[8] with football player Travis Kelce set to make a cameo.[9] In September, McDonald and Julie Bowen were confirmed to be reprising their roles, with Bad Bunny, Margaret Qualley, and Maxwell Jacob Friedman also added to the cast.[10][11][12] John Daly would reveal he had filmed scenes for the film.[13]

Principal photography began on September 9, 2024, in New Jersey, coinciding with Sandler's 58th birthday.[14] A casting call took place at a hotel in Morristown, New Jersey.[15] Filming locations in New Jersey include a country club in Bedminster,[16] a burger shop in Garfield,[17] a golf center in Hackettstown,[18] a nail salon in Maplewood,[19] a beach in Middletown,[20] a deli in Millburn,[21] a French restaurant in Montclair,[21] a cafe in Morristown,[22] a public school in Newark,[23] Seton Hall University in South Orange,[19] Montclair Golf Club in West Orange,[21] and Verona Town Hall in Verona Township.[24] In November, Ben Stiller was revealed to have joined the cast, reprising his role as Hal L. from both the previous film and Hubie Halloween (2020).[25]
