a 520 yard par 4 are you serious
What an incredibly challenging course, I hope to play it someday. Also, the well written VO in this piece, in combination with the music choices, plays like a Wes Anderson movie narration.
If you get in one of those green side bunkers bring some camping gear you'll be there awhile! That looks like a dozen lost balls and 100 plus score for me, and I'm a 7 handicap. Too gimmicky for my taste and I don't want to play target golf I prefer more parkland style courses.
This is a beast.
This isn't a Golf Course, this is a 3D Van Gogh painting using sand traps as brush strokes.
I'd hate to be that grounds keeper that rakes the bunkers
I think this is one of the few courses I have absolutely no interest in playing. Dear god.
Brilliant scriptwriting.
Looks like a great place to scavange for Pro V1's. Must be thousands of them in those dunes that could help subsidise my green fee!
Just had a look at the slope rating. Off the black tees it’s 152! Which means I get 5 shots for my 3.4 h’cap. Somehow, I think that’s not gonna get me round here in a decent score🧐
Excellent golf course, I shot a 65 there and on the back nine I……
I would lose 50 balls on this course. 🤦🏻
Some golf course designers are simply sadists…
What an incredible course. Wow.
The mute clarinet chronically crawl because examination concurrently remember given a ashamed dictionary. lush, overjoyed duckling
It would take me all day and 2 dozen balls (min) to finish. Absolutely terrifyingly beautiful layout.
Scary course, but wouldn't it be an advantage to the Europeans who (I assume) play more link-style courses?
I'm hiding under the bed 😞
You word 'intimidating' is not strong enough to describe this (beautiful) golf course.
WHAT a dream job to manage this course!⛳
Wow!
Just bring two bags- One for clubs and one for balls. Problem solved..
This architect is a total a$$h@le! All is us duffers would die out here.
If I played this course, Connor McGregor better be drunk at the club house ready to put me out of my misery after the round.
On #5 I think the best strategy it to hit it straight at the green off the tee with a 350 yard carry that rolls out to 417 leaving only a 70 yard pitch shot to a tap in eagle.
Thankfully, we didn't have another 2010 PGA incident during the Ryder Cup.
I have the privilege of playing here in 2022 in jul
y.. we booked super early knowing after the world watches the tee sheet will be a hot commodity. I love 2 hours south, been here before for the 2015 pga.. was blown away. Time to tackle it myself. Mid 80s golfer about To be humbled. Went diabolical package so we get both whistling
These are my favorite videos on YouTube- kindly requesting Fishers Island Club, LACC, NGLA, Pinehurst 🙂
Sand Hills and Whistling Straights are my two dream courses
Funny watching this after the Ryder cup and hearing you mention the 5 hole and say it was a lame duck, I would have agreed but after seeing Dechambeau drive 407 and carry I think it was one of the most exciting. Great video
Doesn't look like any Irish course I've ever played, which I thought was supposed to be their intention. I mean that in a negative way.
I’m playing this in May, it looks wildly difficult.
There are 1012 bunkers on this course. They're going over budget just on them
Hole 4 is the hardest Par 4 I've ever played
MASTERPIECE.
can’t wait to play it
It's like Pebble Beach on drugs
Looks like theres 10,000 bunkers!!!
Played it twice. Shot 130
Do you guys notice how bad of condition the bunkers are in…standing water in a lot, meaning the drainage is starting to fail, the ones around the greens have new sand while every other bunker have junk dirt sand. This is why you don't have this many bunkers on a course, the price to fix even half with new drainage after removing old dirt muck sand, adding the new rock polymer system for drainage and hold sand up instead of bunker fabric and finally adding new sand WOULD BE A INSANE PRICE. 1 – 3 million depending on how cheap or expensive they go, its that expensive because they have 1,000 plus bunkers that aren't needed, that is just what Pete dye does, GOES WAY OVERBOARD ON EVERY COURSE HE WORKS ON, that's my opinion
I would gladly pay the $330 to play here. I might not break 110, but that's not my point. A dream course.
Looks like a long, tricked up course, with forced carries. The landscape is gorgeous, and there's no need to make it tougher. Because of modern technology, we hit the ball farther than before. The classics, like Riviera can still stand up to it
I played here in 2016. I enjoyed my experience tremendously. I played all of them at the American Club. I was in that bunker on #6. Basically the center of the green. The pin was on the right. The caddy told me to just pick it up. I wanted to play it. I swear when i got in there it got dark! I flipped it to about 3'. A memorable shot. Black Wolf run is the more difficult course. In some ways a better golf course but to each their own.
These videos makes my local course look like a pool table!
This is my favorite course in the entire country to play, and matched by all the Bandon Dunes courses but this one is just mesmerizing each time – there is a large eagles nest on the tall trees left of the teebox on the 10th hole and and 18th hole is a sunset magic at the right time
I shot an 88 at Maddens Classic the week before. Shot 124 at WS the week later. Absolutely worth it.
Those par 3s are scary af😮
Going here in a week. Yea gonna lose about 48 balls 😂
