I love the idea of custom scorecards - Brilliant Idea! Imagine if every golf course could have its own scorecard!
I clicked off the video and came back to say I see what you did.... lol
They do.
Peter Jarnes no crap
Peter Jarnes r/wooosh
Yeah, I’ve always just used a napkin. Great idea!
2:57 - WOW! I've read about these things but never actually seen one in real life. INCREDIBLE!
2:57 This is a Tree
Perfect! I was wondering what it was!
No, pretty sure it’s a raccon
Thought it was my missing dad :c
Let me guess. They have custom food as well
Custom coke products, Custom toilet paper, Custom paper towels.
custom scorecards and pencils. lol
I swear the people who own channels like these just have random people that know nothing about golf edit the video
Whoever owns this has quarantine figured out.
Shut up, Vincent. We all know you’re rich enough to buy this.
Yeah Vince shut it
Yeah vince just shut up
Yeah Vince, shut your f**king mouth!!
That is unbelievably cool.
So is Pres doing cocaine but you don’t hear me talking about it.
WOW That's an amazing backyard course!
This course seems like a good one to walk! Would be super fun if this was your backyard
im in tears what a powerful video
What a unique place. I can't even keep track of my own run never mind how confused I would be here. hahaha....looks amazing.
Mind blown
Extremely cool
I'm in the process of building one! The next time I have this dream I will finish it!
Too quick. Had to put video in slow mo
Very cool!
3 PONDS TOO..
1 FOR SPORT FISH
1 FOR KOI
1 TO SWIM IN
No pond for Carl Spackler?
Kevin A LOL, well played sir
Incredible
AMAZING
This is the dream
Sweet!!
Gotta have that hand divot mix!
To make this better you make each green with holes in different places that are smoothed over, with cups in them and fake grass caps of course. The as you finish a hole you remove the flag to another place on the green then you always then you always have a trues 18 holes.
I want to do this!! 💪
good use of land! hahaha :)
This is an amount of wealth I will never understand. Good thing teachers like myself make hardly any money. My dream of owning my own mini country club is only a dream 👍🏼
Try making meth on the side
@@jfort5234 tried it but Heisenberg ran me out of business
This course is extremely similar to the one in my backyard however, it’s a tad bit smaller.
Nice Links Course!
How is that not General Mattis ?
I could buy this for fun! It's pretty cheap!
oh my
Reminds me of my grandpa, Rip
Omg pinball machines
60 million for 4 fairways what a rip off
It’s the approximate value of the property sir.
I put a bent grass raised green in my backyard once. That was pretty cool.
Cool idea but they’re missing the flaw of how can yku have 3 holes for one green. There’s almost always going to have people queuing for the same green. Probably an incredibly slow round of golf to play
Not enough people play here for this to happen it's essentially one group alone always
One green had three holes in it. Widely spaced. No problems.
I want that
Michael Workman dont we all
well for 60 mill....
Sold
Great in theory but whats the capacity of players at one time?
There r 3 fairways. So I am guessing 3 groups can comfortably play. Seems like it would play better as a 9 hole
I love golf. A lot. Watch often and play as much as possible. But it's videos like this that remind how inaccessible this game really is. I know the PGA and lots of other people try really hard to get this game to more people, kids in particular, but I really wish this game would properly expand so the talent pool got even bigger.
A great and clever space saver! Unfortunately, people can't start converting 9-hole executive courses in the full-length 18's because balls would be flying everywhere. So like most great ideas, it only benefits the one-percenters.
Well, it's his. You do something nice in your backyard and it'll be yours and benefit you.
I feel like I’m to broke to watch this
'An 18 hole course'
With 9 holes and you go round twice... so that's a 9 hole course then
'a 9 hole course'
With 4 greens you go on multiple times.. so that's a 4 hole course then
No because you take a different approach to each hole, you're never doing the same sequence twice.
@@nate5353 No.. golf is 2 separate games. Fairway and green. If its all the same and you master the slopes its just a garbage course you beat your friends on. Double flags on the same green is what I would do for a few thousand in my backyard. Id rather play a real course
Tom Brady is GOAT isn’t every course you play frequently and get used to garbage then, by your logic? I bet the owner has plenty of fun here and on any other course.
Wonder what the maintenance fees would cost
It's aesthetic for sure
Let's think of how we can spend some money...all joking aside it's a very unique course.
This course is very similar to the Simon mansion (Simon mall properties) in Carmel Indiana with a handful of greens that are each for multiple holes. I would suspect a decent number of golf enthusiast million/billionaires have these in their "backyards", so not entirely unique.
Crappy editing. You have to pause the video if you want to actually look at anything.
AMEN
reminds me of that eric landers guy when he goes a super cool course and 90% of the video is a slow motion view of landers hitting the ball with hipster music in the background.
@@jfort5234 eric landers lmao
This golf course cost more to make than all 8 of my local courses combined...
Crazy cool, but it's not 18 holes. Several of the holes are exact copies. Like 9 and 18 are the exact same hole. Same with a few others.
if you follow / pause the scene where they draw out each hole, literally every hole is duplicated... so its a 9 hole you play twice, except the tee box on 8/17 is different... as far as i can tell. still cool
but its like 9 holes twice
BlackRidge Productions Yes! They could have made a much better design. I made a course in my yard that has 18 different holes on 3 Pins.
Actually it’s like 6 holes 3 times!!! There are 3 fairways so each fairway runs into 6 holes, pretty confusing at first but once you see it you get the idea
Holy, This is freaking bad butt sheet.
Just because you’re asking $60 million for it doesn’t mean it’s a $60 million golf course.
It’s a $2 course 😂😂
Is $60 million the construction cost, or a sales price?
In reality I'd say it's worth like $450,000.
Many courses would be wise to build only 6 holes and then people can choose to play 6,12,or 18.
It would save alot of money on maintenance costs and massively reduce the amount of water needed.
It'd be way to crowded for that. Playing 18, it's crowded at a lot of courses on each hole. You reduce that course to 1/3 the size, and it'd be impossible. People would be waiting hours to tee off and let others finish. Many just would stop coming which would be ruin the revenue for the course. Not a good idea.
The real question is...
What’s the green fee
This pro caddie wants to play it for a week straight..
You could buy a handful of REALLY nice golf courses for 60 million.
It's a shame...north Florida has lost about 10 tracks over the last decade or two. A couple of them were incredibly unique and irreplaceable. Sad.
There was a golf course that sold for $750,000 and this dude spent 60 million dollars on a backyard one.
i can play my local for a tenner at twilight mate , it has 18 greens, you got ripped off
No way worth anywhere near 60 million...you can purchase a full size 18 hole golf course for less than 5 million these days
bluekangaroo kw its in the Hamptons
Expensive yeah, but how on earth would that cost $60 million?
Josh Miller could mean it’s valued at 60m?
It’s the Hampton’s
Full property value with house in the hamptons
Must hit lottery, must hit lottery, must hit lottery...
“Skulled that one. And that one.” Who gave you the right to comment on my golf game?
Custom pencils, custom tissue, custom diapers, custom bottles... now that is worth the 60million$...
Would you please invite me over to play a round..
Lol Now you can buy a simulator
Sold...I have a spare 60 mil haha. What is the point if it doesn't make money. Garontee that becomes cookie cutter houses in the future
I'd get lost on which way to go to the next tee
I could built a championship golf course with 18 actual holes and a huge clubhouse for $60M smh
I'm guessing I cant afford his water bill. Probably has his own well.
NY ...great can only play 6 months a year...no thanks
You weren't invited anyways
They have custom weather as well.
fly787 I’m pretty sure the owner of a 60 million dollar golf course can afford to play wherever they want for the other 6 months of the year.
'The bunkers are fairly large, you can hit out of them fairly easily' - proceeds to show footage of two butchered bunker shots
A fool and his money are soon parted.
Too much in such a short video. I had to pause the video 1000 times just to appreciate all the info given
Boy is he going to be disappointed with Heaven
Gee willikers.
Title is clickbait
Eat the Rich......
Reese Jones is the Hitler of golf course architecture.
LOL nailed it !!!
eat the rich
Can I have it… free?
Making Tigers back yard looking weak.
LOL only 4 greens
Pretty cool but 60 mill? You got robbed
Bring back business to us and jobs until America is great again
Waste of money rather play at a municipal course
if it was $59,999,995.00 i'd have bought 2 of them, but at $60,000,000.00 is just a rip off...
The game is rigged there is a club controlling everything and you aint in it.
Waste
Ok this is indeed creative but such a non-practical design. How could any first-timer possible NOT get lost playing this course? The layout is way too confusing to be enjoyable in my opinion.
This is a course for 1%er's. there is a reason people make the 1%. They aren't idiots
Thank God Trump gave him a tax break. I wouldn't want my roads fixed if it meant Rees Jones couldn't have his own private golf course.
Why is this kind of thing celebrated when it is just another example of great wealth inequity in America?
This is way waaaaaay overpriced. You could visit one of the nicest golf courses in the world at $500 a day every day for 90 years and it would only cost $16425000 saving you approx 43 million bucks and the 500 dollar golf course is always maintained and it looks so much better than this.
i don't think that you get it. This course is not designed to be played by the average joe....this course is for the 1% who can spend money like it simply means nothing
In that case, every golf course on Earth is overpriced. As is every Hotel. As is every airplane.
@@SevenLions122 But thats my point, he bought this and it overall has a terrible value. It would be like the average person buying a 40k truck and then this guy buys a 2million dollar moped, it makes no sense. I could understand him paying that much for better but he is not, even if it was only a littler better than other courses then could it be justified but it is not.
@@Randsurfer If they cost them like 2 mill to build and costs the guy 60 mil then yeah
@@michaelweston6083 It was my understanding that the owner built the course. Did he buy it?
Nobody plays golf anymore.
couldnt be more mistaken
Just got out for my first round of the season yesterday and the 160+ members of the men's league playing their opening round that day as well would disagree, not to mention the junior league, senior league and women's league that have similar numbers as well, plus all the casual golfers like myself. That's just one course in a small town(
I feel like I’m to broke to watch this
