How does Zach not have over 100k subs yet? This dude consistently delivers no frills, hardcore golf content without all the clickbait and shenanigans. Keep up the great work Zach!
Appreciate it my man 👊
@@ZacRadford yeh well in buddy from Scotland
Could not of said it better!!
I wanna see Zach v Rick Shiels v Peter Finch as soon as this virus thing is over and international travel is fine again. Match play, 18 holes, winner gets the other persons subscribers.
The only thing I can guess is the amount he talks about things other than golf in between shots is a lot more than some other golf youtubers with more subscribers. I don’t mind it, but to the average viewer who has the attention span of a squirrel, I can see them getting annoyed and just wanting to see the golf and choosing not to watch his videos next time. He’s great if you ask me though!
Those rams looked like statues at first before they started moving lol
That was one of the coolest things I’ve seen on a golf course in a long time!
No 🧢
Pete Dye has to be the greatest course designer of all time.
He’s one of my favorites for sure!
Lmaoooo i thought those rams were statues until i saw them breathing 😂😂😂
Thanks though that was crazy too 😂
Looks great, Zac. We appreciate the opportunity to partner up with you. Can't wait to see the back nine. Nice playing, btw.
Beautiful course, well done to all!!
So glad y’all enjoyed and can’t thank you enough for having me out! Y’all have an absolute gem of a course!
So good! You gota play Micah again, I’d pay to watch those rounds!
Don’t you worry we are filming content in Colorado next month together 👊
Be good to see him play on really shit courses
@@hmu05366 I’d watch him play on sand greens for all I care!
@@ZacRadford where y’all playing in Colorado? Got a buddy who helps run the pro shop at Indian Peaks in Lafayette, great course.
@@bricemott12 We will be at the Broadmoor!
That’s no house. Thats a VORTAC aviation navigation aid. Great video as usual! Can’t wait to play this course.
Ahhh gotcha! Thanks for letting me know!
Yep, came to say the same thing.
The building on the mountain is a VOR for navigation for airplanes. Great round, though!
Thanks so much for letting me know and I appreciate it 👊
The intro gets me pumped every time.
Lesssss goooo
Quickly becoming my fav. golf channel with vlogs like this. Just unreal quality. Great job Zac!
Much love 👊
Always love these videos! Much love from your brothers up in 🇨🇦! Excited for more great content
Much love 👊
Alister McKenzie...the best there is!
He does some epic work!
At first I thought those rams were fake because they weren't moving.
fav course designer stephen castaneda...lol
Facts
I think this is the best you've played on this trip so far. Great series, very enjoyable to watch!
Much love 👊
Favorite golf course designer- Donald Ross. Favorite RUclips golfer- Zac Radford. 👊
Much love 👊
Have you ever been on a podcast? Or would you consider it? Awesome video!
I have been on several and if scheduling works I’m always up for it!
Great round. Driver is on fire. For me Pete dye , I played Harbour town back in the day and the lay out is awesome
Driver was feeling great thanks! I think Pete dye is an awesome designer!
The pope is a great designer
@@hmu05366 What? 🤔 what has the pope designed?
i just want to lt et you know zac inspires me to play golf i am now playing as a 13teen year old and all because this content makes me want to i go to the drivng range 3times a week
So awesome to hear Heath 👊
I am all about the Tom Doak or Pete Dye designs!
Same!!
The cactus is a prickly pear. The fruit makes good jelly. Just don’t fill your pockets with it hoping someone will use it to make that jelly for you. Don’t ask me how I know. 😳
Ahhh gotcha and haha I’ll take your word for it 😂
Great vid as always!
Favorite designer is hard, there's so many but I'd go for a couple of underrated ones:
The late Mike Strantz (Tobacco Road) and Rob Collins (Sweetens Cove).
Couple of guys designed a back 9 to Sweetens in the PGA2K21 video game and Rob Collins went on a live stream with them and discussed the design as well as the history of the course. Just a genuine guy and Sweetens Cove is def on my bucket list!
Sweetens Cove is such a fun track!!
I haven't played very many of the big-name course designers, but of the ones I've played I think Pete Dye is my favorite. The only Rees Jones course I've played was Rio Secco, which I think is kind of a sister course to Cascata. I really enjoyed it.
I love Pete dye as a designer!
Mike Strantz designs baby!!! Come to NC and we can play them all in NC, SC, VA
Appreciate the invite 👊
Those rams were the most random/cool thing you could ever expect from a golf vlog lol
When I saw them I was like pleasssseeee don’t move haha
They are bighorn sheep. The cactus is called purple prickly pear. They yield a fruit called “tuna” which can be consumed in a variety of modes. The tuna offer loads of vitamin C and the native Americans used the plant to reduce inflammation. I harvest the tuna, boil them for twenty minutes, and strain the juice. Add cinnamon and honey for taste and you have a nice elixir which helps the joints.
Thanks so much for letting me know I had no idea!
Great golf. Great backdrops. Great music. Great company. Thanks man, keep the course vlogs coming.
Much love and will do 👊
Super content! Watching from South Africa and never disappointed
Much love 👊
You are crushing the new SIM2 driver - best I've ever seen you drive the ball.
Jacob is right! I decided to stick with the M3 for now but really appreciate it 👊
I'm a big fan of the Robert Trent Jones courses. Also, like the Fuzzy Zoeller course in Indiana.
The RTJ trail sure has some great golf!
It is not a house. It is the Boulder City VOR. It is for airplane navigation.
Thanks man, that's what I thought too.....have been scouring google maps for the last 10 minutes trying to find it but can't get my bearings. Will tune in 116.70 and see if that helps.
I’m lucky enough I get to play cascata just about every year and I’ve been trying to get one of the golf you tubers to play it for the last few years so happy one of my favorites finally did!!
Lesssss gooooo!!
Love these desert courses, this one was so natural. A delight. Can you play it with Brodie Smith?
Glad you enjoyed!
Sick course but I’m stoked on the heard of rams , how fricken cool is that !!
I thought that was one of the coolest things I’ve seen on the course in a long time!
Great way to get my golf fix for the day! Started with George and MC at Bryan Bros and ended with a flourish with Mr.Cool, Zac in Nevada. Super solid nine and your putter is heating up. Way to go bro and thanks for all the work producing these great videos. Excellent content, graphics and editing. Stay safe and blessings from Richard in Cosby, east Tennessee. One Love People!!
Glad you enjoyed 👊
Those rams were really cool. Seems you have a way of getting the local wildlife to appear on your channel.
They were excited about being on RUclips haha
Nice course! That tee shots on #2 and #5 were pure. Another great video.
Much love 👊
Been privileged to play Augusta National and mystique-aside, I can't say I enjoyed that more than Cascata. It is an amazing course and overall experience. This brings back great memories. Hope I can make it out there again someday.
This is such an incredible track that is for sure!
Good front nine Zac!!! Looking forward to a 5 under round after the back nine.
The putter gets hot on the back!
Been watching your content for a while now Zac, I used to play golf when I was in high school. Now I’m in college and just started playing again a few months ago. I play about 3-4 times a week and hit on the range about 4 times every week. I have improved my game so much in just a short time. I shoot in the low forty’s and an occasional high 30. Love watching your videos and your tips helped me a lot in fixing my swing and just getting better at the game in general. Keep up the good work. If you’re ever in Arkansas, I’ll have to come watch you play a round.
So awesome to hear my man and appreciate the invite 👊
@@ZacRadford no problem, I’d recommend mystic creek. Great course. Hosts some lpga qualifiers.
Zac I have to say I thought I was the only one who thought those automated doors were the coolest thing def the first time I’ve ever seen that lmao
That was soooo sick!!!
Another sweet looking course Zac!! Looking forward to the back nine!! You played good too!!
Much love 👊
I have to say Pete Dye is a legendary designer, or architect as he’d say. Come play at Whistling Straits, Zac!!!
Would love to get up that way this summer!
That entrance out of the cart barn with those double doors looked like something straight out of Disneyland!
Agreed!!
Architects? Palmer courses are always a good time... Ross is the GOAT. Joe Lee is underrated.
I don’t know if I’ve ever played a Joe Lee design!
I love Tom Fazio courses!
Dude I love love love all of your videos. Such an inspiration, tracer golf shots, and tee high and let it FLY! Play Fossil Trace in Golden CO, you won’t be disappointed!
So awesome to hear and appreciate the recommendation 👊
@@ZacRadford they have drone flyovers if you want to check out the course and see if it’s channel worthy. Cheers man
It appears Henderson is 200ft HIGHER elevation than Mesquite - so if the ball didn't seem to be carrying as far, than it must be due to your proximity to Vegas!
Wish I could forget how many under par I was because I had so many birdies in the front 9.
Definitely thankful to be playing some better golf!
good intro/outro song! also, those rams are amazing. looked up from grabbing a bite of dinner and thought they were statues at first 😂
Glad you enjoyed 👊
That course looks really fun to play. Gotta get a little bit better first tho!
It sure was fun!
Another great vid Zac. I'm taking notes on some of the courses you've played in the desert southwest. I'm from Carmel but that region and southern Oregon is where I like to play.
My favorite GC architects? Mackenzie and Fazio.
Great vid as always. Love your swing. If you don’t mind a minor critique…when your shooting yourself pre shot giving the hole description, you are panning/turning around a lot. For me, it kind of gives me slight motion sickness. I need to look away during those moments. Static camera is more effective. Hole 3 you were showing rocks around the tee, you were panning so much, it was really tough to get a good look.
Again awesome vids. Love the locations!
I know what ur games missing Zac.... Not enough club twirl when u throw darts. WE MORE CLUB TWIRL!!!(more cowbell reference)
What??? Hole 9 467yds and your second shot was 72yds left? Seriously???
Love the content. You playing at great courses helps me figure out where to go play and its motivating to watch you destroy it from the back tees. I just travelled to play Wolf Creek because of your videos there
Absolutely love to hear it 👊
I'm from the Northwest Ohio area and my favorite course designer is Arthur Hills (R.I.P. 2021) who is the 6th best course designer of All-Time. Had the absolute pleasure of caddying for his son John when I was a Caddie at the Famous INVERNESS CLUB of Toledo, Ohio from 2015-2016. If you're ever in the OH/MI area he has some really great tracks that should try and play. Keep up the amazing work and great video!
For those wondering, this place is $550 a round + mandetory caddie with $50 tip. Beautiful course, but that’s a hard pass. They are out of their minds. Harding Park (2020 PGA) is $200.
They do have $350 summer rates, but still…
That "house" is a VHF (Very High Frequency) Omnidirectional Radio, used for aviation navigation. The more you know!
The rocks looked like sandstone with some iron oxide staining.😊
Also, due to the fairly fresh unweathered look of some of the rock behind a few of those tees and greens, it is entirely possible they dynamited them out.
Appreciate the feedback!!
Love it Zac! Tee it high, let it fly 🤘🏻. Don’t know why anyone would dislike your videos...haters gunna hate lol
I played this course end of March. Awesome Track, one of my favs. You scored much better than I did though.(LOL). Always look forward to your videos, keep them coming!!!
The great GOLDEN BEAR best at anything he does
You should team up with George Bryan and challenge Mr. Short Game and Coach from Golfholics. They were calling out challengers. East vs. West! If it happens I am pulling for East. Thanks Zac for the content and the stingers.
I've played Cascata at least 4 times. Wonderful course and a ton of fun to play. Those greens are some of the best greens I have ever putted. Super quick but pure.
Looked up the rates for this course.$350+ to play in the summer when it's 110°? I'll keep my mediocre game in AZ and play an elite course for under $150. You price out the regular golfer and you're not left with much. 😒
Great playing Zac! Hope you got to play Bear’s Best, Rio Secco, and Paiute - Wolf...3 of my favorites while stationed in Vegas, but I never played Cascata. Also, that desert area you asked about in right next to the biggest solar panel field I’ve ever seen.
I think the pink Cactus just means it's dying! Moved out to Vegas (from Nashville) last fall. Haven't played Cascata yet but hoping to get out there before summer! Cheers.
Can i suggest you some courses in Vegas.
Shadow creek is by fare the best course.
Next is cascata as you are playing.
Next i would suggest Southern Highlands, it is so beautifull.
Then there is Tpc Summerlin, nice course.
And last ive tryed coyote springs, a jack nicklas course, very nice aswell.
Zac God bless you for shooting this video... man what a place! I have been to Nevada/Vegas but never got to play golf whilst there... next time I come to US you and I are going there... and then when we have finished our tour ... you are coming to Aus and Queenstown in NZ to play!
$550 a round!!! 😳 Thank you for sharing your experience. 🙇🏽♂️
Great video Zac! My fav golf course designers are: Alister Mackenzie and Pete Dye, because of their thorough design of every little hump, angles, and deception of looking wide open from the tees (which it isn't) to looking like a tunnel from the tee yet, opens up dramatically after 100 yards by the latter.
Loved the video along with all the others. Just wanted to be that guy to tell you it's Ne-VAD-uh not Ne-VAH-duh.
I loved Castcata all three times I've played it! If you make it up to Reno let me know and I'll let you give me some strokes 😂😂😂
Our guys annual golf trip to LV has played many courses over the years but this one is ALWAYS on the list. The greens are so hard to read until you remember everything runs back to the valley. Your shots on 18 (hitting somewhat blind) were amazing - never seen anyone reach the green in two! Tom Fazio and Pete Dye from the modern era and Donald Ross from the old school. And a question. If you had only one course to play - everything being equal - is it Wolf Creek or Cascata?
We call that area on view from 3 a dry lake although it's really just a low point in the valley where the rain water collects. Lots of people do off roading and stuff out there. I taught my daughter how to drive there 🤣
Love Pete Dye!
Prickly pear cactus 🌵
Great vlog. Was surprised you didn’t spend more time showing the creek that runs through the clubhouse. Can't wait to see how you do on the back nine.
wow, cool rock! haha
Anyway, Donald Ross fan. Lotta those around here. Grew up caddying on one...my home course was another one, and before I even realized what golf course design was, I fell in love with his style. Unfortunately don't have one super close to me at the moment, so playing a Geoffrey Cornish track now, which isn't all that far removed from a Ross course. I dig it.
Going out tomorrow AM for my first actual round in a long time. Only a 9 hole course, but I'm nervous! I dnt want to get on first tee and embarrass myself LOL. I'm not bad tho at playing, I just do mess up some shots. Welp. Wish me luck
You’re near the Palmer coyote springs GC. I would like to see if you can break par from the tips there. It’s a monster track. I’m really enjoying your videos.
I'm a David McLay Kidd design fan. Love what he continues to do at Gamble Sands here in Washington. I enjoy the detail of your narrative on each shot. Much success Zac.
This video had everything Zac. Cool intro music, local flora and fauna and stunning scenery. Plus some of the best driving I've seen from you. Best golf content on RUclips 👍
$600+ for one round of golf? Nah, I'll take Wolf Creek and Sand Hollow every time over this overrated course.
I’m a student at the University of Kentucky in Lexington, KY and Pete dye designed a course here called Kearney hills and it is one of my favorite courses in Kentucky. That place looks pure 🤯
Desert sheep are beautiful animals! And if that's a house, that's crazy. The metal framework, round shape and all the satellite towers make it hard to believe it's a house. But aside from that, great content Zac! You just put this course on a very long bucket list!
There's a Reese Jones course near my house in Ocean Isle Beach NC that I play all the time. Sea Trail golf club has 3 courses to it and his is probably my favorite even though it's not technically their "signature" course.
I should comment on your videos more often, they are so good! Boy your driver was working well...so much fun to see! I can't wait to see the back 9!
Hunters pay upwards of 10,000$ to hunt those rams. AKA Dall sheep.
My favorite design firm is Coore and Crenshaw. Also a big fan of Dye and Nicklaus
The GOAT of stingers. Love this guys content! Zac is great! Also, those rams seemed unreal til they moved lol
How do you afford these green fees? Out of the average players range... Take me with you!! lol..
Is that a See More putter? Which one and why do you game it? I’ve been researching putters and I like the balanced at impact feature of putters and want one with that type of style.
Any knowledge you can drop on me appreciated
Old Tom Morris, James Braid, Tom Doaks, Gil Hanse, Crenshaw Coore
I really like this kind of video . Amazing all the courses you are showing to us . Keep up ! Really enjoying it
Jack Nicklaus designs are probaly my favorite there’s a lot of that in the south as you know my fellow Tennessee brother thanks for the great golf content💯💯 I also really wanna play more course on the Jones golf trail just don’t get too travel much
Gotta check out Northern Michigan Summer Golf Zac it is 2nd to none!
Love playing any course by Pete Dye. Cascata is definitely on my list next time I’m in Vegas!
Love these videos. Everything is perfect except for the comment fishing being quite a bit overdone. It comes across a bit insulting when I see videos that do that. If you just request everyone leave a comment to support the channel that is so much better.
Swing looking great!
Thanks 👊
Man love your vids. If you come to Australia I’d love to host you for a round 🙏
Big fan of Mike Stranz courses....Tobacco Road,
Love having you do some videos in my home state! However, you keep pronouncing Nevada wrong :p
