The “driving range” at course 3 has to be one of the best things I have ever seen on a course
That's actually pretty common at many of the great courses in Scotland.
That's how it is at Collin Morikawa's home course in Cali too. There's a video of it on here that's pretty good
So they got rid of the breathalyzer but they kept the $5 fee 😄
Breathalyzer probably broke so they don't want to spend money on another one.
That's what happens when people when people complain.
That was actually a good policy imo.
@@k.i.s.s.. nah that policy is communism
@@k.i.s.s..this idea is foreign to me since you can’t bring any adult beverages on the course, which is state law. Of course, many of us allegedly put beers in our bag on ocassion. I’d gladly pay $5 for me to be able bring my own booze on the course, but I don’t know if that policy is law or just because they don’t have a liquor license. In Indiana, if the course serves booze, you can’t bring your own and there are signs everywhere reminding you.
I actually lived on Blackhawk, my old house is in the background when you take your sprinkler drop. I would like to point out that the grass you see on the mounds behind the house was planted by me, it was all dirt. I bought several pallets of sod because I was tired of the dust and ugly view. I've since moved on, but it looks like it hasn't changed much. When I moved there in 2008, they used to have the best greens in the area, fairways always looked like a bombing range.
When it first opened it had bent grass greens, only a few houses on hole 1 and was a true links course. Boy did they mess that place up.
It would be sick if a youtube channel/creator could buy a course and show an entire restoration of one of these once great now lost courses
Check out Bryan Bros Golf, they bought a course near the end of last year and have been posting about their restoration, pretty cool stuff
it would be a money pit and would soon return to its roots
Bryan Bros are doing it.
The problem is these foreigners buy up these golf courses so they have a stake in America then they let it go. It's possible CC might go into a receivership because it is a nuisance, it's vandalized, it's not maintained. The owner says, he'll never sell. The men's and women's membership don't exist anymore.
If it werent cost prohibitive to do such, they wouldnt be lost courses.
It would be fun, like sneaking onto an abandoned golf course, but there's a guy at the beginning who takes your money.
Huh how would he take ur money if it’s abandoned?
There’s an abandoned one in Fremont, Ca!!!
@@PiePyeThere is an "unhoused" fella living near the 1st hole water hazard, keeps an eye on the place....he is looking for a little, little something for the effort....and he dosn't care about total consciousness on his death bed either!
@@PiePye He's being sarcastic.
@@meazlesgolf3455 how is that sarcastic
I died laughing watching this video. You should win an academy award for your play and commentary.
A must-see for all golfers.
Thanks, Mr Short Game!!!
Yes 😂
Funniest golfer on RUclips
I used to play Castle Creek (25 years ago) when it was an OK course, but it has become something else for sure. Calling Castle Creek in its current state a dog track is an affront to America's dogs.
😂
Dogs won’t even take a dump on the fairways 😂
I'm with you. I last played it in the late 90's. I didn't even like it then.
It’s kind of amazing that the San Diego course actually keeps those greens in decent shape considering the fact that they have let the entire remainder of the course go to complete hell.
In the beginning of the video I was like, “he should play Castle Creek.”
A few years ago I played with a friend who was in his 60s, played golf for over 30+ years and had never made a hole in one. He made one this course that day, blindsided par 3. He was so embarrassed, he told us never to mention what course it was on to anyone. ⛳️ Lmao
Easy 8 iron, Go Jerry! 🎉
Awesome!
Wow awesome. Hole in one and great backstory. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Was it a gopher hole? 😂 I wonder how many balls they've collected.
No matter the course it’s what you do off the tee🏌🏽♂️ that’s why you made the hole in one ⛳️
I feel like an ace on the worst course in the country is an achievement in of itself.
I've never golfed a day in my life & I loved this review! He delivered the review in a way that I understood most of the context, but overall just gave straight forward feedback on what he experienced as he actually played through each hole. He's funny & personable & made a non golfer want to watch a review about golf courses-to the end! I really like how doesn't just rip on the courses for every single obvious downfall, but instead plays through and just comments on what he's personally experiencing as he goes. Great video, thanks!
There’re some hidden gem courses in Golden State like your 3rd one in the video. I sometimes go there because there’s absolutely no one there. i have a know-how to make the best out of it.
1. pick a decent spot (although it’s hard, but you can certainly find one)
2. Drop a dozen ball
3. Put out your launch monitor
4. Practice your iron shots into the green. Or Practice tee shots if you find a hole with a wide fairway.
It’s a rare opportunity to collect launch monitor data with real golf balls which is very difficult to do in a driving range.
I think it’s $15 well spent. That’s how you get the best bang for your buck. 😂
I have to admit, forcing you to hit driver from the rough for your tee shot is some of the most innovative shit I've seen.
Matt, You've outdone yourself. I laughed all the way through this video. Great work, great video, and great fun!
Absolutely hysterical. I loved when you raked the grass on the last hole. So great. Thanks for the laughs. 😂
Such a shame that once decent courses have gone bad. It would have been interesting to have a comment from the management of each. Nice video Matt.
sharp park deserves an entire video on that. Such an elite design with poor maintenance
It literally broke my heart to see what became of Castle Creek Golf Course. I lived in Escondido from 1972-1999, and played Castle Creek many times, when it was called Circle R. My mother and father in law had their 50th Wedding Anniversary dinner in the clubhouse. It really did have a beautiful view down the 1st and 18th (I think) fairways. I really enjoyed that course. My only complaint was the couple of holes that had in-course OB's. It looks like the course must be in receivership and looking for someone to buy it and renovate it. The greens look like the best part of the "course", which leads me to believe they are trying to hang on until someone buys it. Such a shame.
The owner, not American, said he'll never sell! He was warned of receivership and is putting money in a little at a time. The owner doesn't care about the course. The same owner has 2 gas stations in the same town- closed, vandalized constantly, a nuisance, but he'll never sell. America needs to stop selling our land to these ppl who truly dislike America and only want to see it fail.
@@pamelaouellette6682 The owner's name is Osama Alkasabi. While it's a "foreign" name, he's an American citizen. Technically a realtor, but he has a long history of lawsuits against him, shady deals, and problems with banks. The place is up for sale, but there don't seem to be any takers. The problem isn't him not being "American" (he is) or "disliking America," the problem is his business records shows he's a con artist.
Love the videos. The instructional content is great but these fun ones are hilarious. Keep it up Matt.
These are so good. 😂🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
I legit want to take my friends here as a prank. Worth every penny.
Have you treated your friends to a round yet? 😁I have a few that would absolutely pick up and leave if I could even get them on the cart.
I’m pretty sure I’ve never watched another golf RUclips video and repeatedly laughed out loud and had orange juice come out my nose. Funniest video ever. Thanks for the laughs Matt
oh man back in the day at Castle Creek the carts didn't have speed governors and on the 10th and 13th holes you could get some dangerous speed going. Buddy almost died on 13 fairway
So funny and I’ve only watched the first 3:22 so far…. The way you read the reviews as if in whisper as if they are listening….LOL. Keep the fun and insightful perspectives of your videos coming! ❤
Dude, I can’t believe you played Blackhawk! When I saw this video title i said to myself “wouldn’t it be funny if he plays Blackhawk” 😂I live about 10 minutes away. The shame of it is that the course layout is actually pretty solid.
The story behind the course is that a developer bought it out of bankruptcy with the goal of re-zoning it for residential housing. The town repeatedly said no, and now he can’t sell it given its condition and need for a complete reno. Unfortunately, no improvement is in sight.
Your final scorecard is a 74, not a 72, I think. 38 and a 36, right? Great video! I'm sure there are tons of terrible courses out there. Would have loved to see that last course in its hay day!
He had 2 birdies and 2 bogeys on the front for a 36. I think he wrote it down wrong on the card.
the fifth hole is a par 3 and the seventh hole is a par 4, so add two more bogeys on the front for a total of 38
I have always enjoyed the content you put into each of your videos. HOWEVER, This one is TOP SHELF!!! I never knew you had that sense of humor!! You are so respectful on such pitiful courses! GREAT VIDEO and I really enjoyed the commentary!!
You have to say, each course gave you a chance for you to show how good you are. You adapted to each condition of the shot and save par. Great video.
The biggest criticism one can give these courses is how empty they are. The weather is favorable, no wind, no rain, no players. The locals must know something.
Oh man Matt😂
Good work my friend!
I have what may be a brilliant idea to compliment this comedy & actually help educate golfers why we see courses all over the country fall on their face. It’s a combo of a former Superintendent like myself, you the golf pro and a “Bar Rescue” kind of approach. I tell people all the time if it wasn’t for cheap golf most of us wouldn’t be involved in the game today. So we need to start being proactive in helping retain what’s still left before more doors shut to be developed but more importantly educate golfers why & how courses finally reach this position of death & crap conditions
Sadly 99% of the people replying to this video really have no idea and that is actually the problem & what continues to promote poor property results today. I have a plan just need someone like you to talk shop & share ideas for a minute & enjoy a good laugh😎
Ben, That is a frikin great idea...golf course rescue...I would watch that. In fact..please film the first show at my local course Baywood GC in NC As Matt was riding under the trees with the limbs scraping the top of the cart. I was fallin over laughing. this is a thing right now in several spots on our course. How hard is it to trim some low hanging branches?....WTF? We are in better shape right now but every year it takes all summer to get in decent shape for about 90 days going into fall.
Raking the grass in the bunker killed me😂
Ponkapog GC, Canton, MA.....Sports Illustrated wrote an article about how poor the course was about 25 years ago, incredibly it's gotten even more miserable!
Thanks for the info I've been seeing ponkapoag on 18 birdies and have been curious about how bad it actually is
The fun part about Black Hawk is that if you're going during the height of the four seasons, you're playing an entirely different golf course each quarter.
Crazy to think that those courses have groundskeepers that early in the morning said "yep, we're ready to go"
"Innovation is making you hit your driver out of the rough" LOL great stuff
I loved this video! You absolutely have earned my subscription. The humor you brought to playing these tracks was inspiring. It makes me trily appreciate the courses around me. Thank you.
24:14 My favorite part of the whole video, “We’re teeing off today from the blacks, we got a black square, and a uh, green ball.”
I live in Buffalo and I’ve played the Buffalo tournament club a few times and I’m disappointed that the course has such potential and they don’t make improvements to make it better!! But compared to the other courses in your reviewed Buffalo tournament club is a decent course in comparison!!
Yeah that course definitely had its flaws but I wouldn’t say it’s one of the worst. Go look at some of the public courses in Southern California, WAY worse😂
I live about 5 minutes from BTC, and the sad part is you can go drive 5 minutes away, and play Arrowhead or Ivy Ridge for the same price, and they are both infinitely better courses
Matt, I mentioned Castle Creek in one of your more recent "worst courses" video, then found this earlier one where you played it, LOL! I live about 5 miles from this course. It used to be a great track -- short, but challenging. A new owner bought it, and it then couldn't pay people who worked there, and stopped keeping it up. I hope someday it comes back, it was fun to play once upon a time. 11 months after you did this video, it's in even worse shape than when you played it, sadly.
Love the series. I'll keep watching!
Your sense of humor/delivery is perfectly paired to this type of video. The silent looks to camera, raking grass, and cheeky comments have me dying. 😂 I really hope you played an amazing course in each of these locations since, not only did you pay greens fees, but air and lodging! So funny
I enjoy these worst golf course videos. When you rake the bunkers that have no sand, cracks me up.
Links at Victoria was the first course that came to mind 😂
Arnold Palmers company bought Victoria many years ago, they tried to improve it, but it's built on an old landfill, the grass just WON'T grow on the fairways. They gave up.
It's too bad someone doesn't come up with a solution, because the area has a million golfers, the other courses near there could get some relief from the sheer volume of play.
Maybe have an artificial turf golf company do the fairways or get 1000 dump trucks full of non-contaminated dirt to grow some grass on the new fairways.
There has to be a solution.
For the next video on worst courses, check out Leo J. Martin in Weston, MA (2.1star rating). No maintenance, no irrigation, no weed control. Although, if it weren't for the weeds, the fairways would be completely dirt. The greens have a camo pattern. Oh, and there are no services like a snack shop, pro shop or on-course water. We refer to it playing golf in the rough.
It sounds like many commenters were thinking the same thing. I also used to enjoy playing at "the Creek" 25 years ago with friends, clients and co-workers. It was a beautiful and somewhat challenging course back then. Players that had trouble hitting a straight drive off the tee would be back and forth under the trees much of the round. The water features on some of the holes were beautiful. I remember when you could actually buy lunch at that snack bar and it wasn't bad...when you were hungry. It is a tragedy that the course looks as though it may end up like Fallbrook CC. I still feel bad for a co-worker whose favorite course was Castle Creek during the late 90's. He actually bought a home on the Fallbrook course right before that one got sold to a supposed "golf course developer". The new owner turned it into a winery, because he claimed that it could never be profitable as a golf course. How about giving golfers a chance to purchase partnerships that would buy (and maintain) some of these iconic courses, which also serve as much needed green spaces and wildlife refuges? We certainly don't need any more desert dust bowls fueled by the concrete climate heaters and traffic multipliers known as condos, apartments, town homes, etc. Excellent content as always, Matt. Love your videos.
@-MrShortGameGolf What's up?
26:40 I busted out laughing. I'm not much of a golfer, but I can see how beautiful that last course must have been 30 years ago. Probably a blast to play when it was in great shape.
Loving the "fallen tree review" - this series is more common to what most of us play compared to the private club series and I'm down for it!
Hey they could sell some of that for firewood possibly if it is not to rotten. Then use the funds, if any, to fix that mess they got going on
As someone who lived just outside of Buffalo in West Seneca, you picked a beautiful day to go play. A lot less gray and depressing in the sky than usual.
Never laughed so much (bermuda grass in bunker ) we have these courses in uk but they only charge £5 to £10 to play keep up the good work love you guys
As for the Buffalo Tournement Club, welcome to the Upstate NY golf experience, most places I’ve played upstate are like that, extra wet and swampy, and slow pace of play, but the absurd rules thing is unique
As soon as you said “Austin, Texas” I knew you were going to Blackhawk. I’m gonna be honest, I play this course often. It’s inexpensive, the people are really friendly, and I’ve just found a soft spot in my heart for the place. That net in front of the house (that’s the #11 tee shot) they installed about 6 years ago…and I think it’s my fault…I’ve hit so many slices into that house it’s embarrassing. I’ve actually managed to slice one around the net and still hit the house! I swear I’m trying best out there. The course has definitely seen better days, but they just bought new carts, rebuilt most of the cart path bridges, and cleaned up the forested areas. This in spite of the major road construction along #10…they’ve had to cut down the row of 10-15 trees along the side of the road for expansion, and will have to relocate the green very soon. I see she’s in great hands with a new owner and loving staff, hopefully they can bring her back to her glory days
At least you didn't have to put up with ground maintenance crews while playing.
I’m convinced dry creek golf course in galt California is worse then all these with $50 green fees. The greens are always tore up, the fairways are missing grass everywhere, the rough looks like it hadn’t been mowed for days and the bunkers are never clean and full of leaves and fallen trees.
Great video! I've lived in SoCal my whole life. Play Colton Golf Course in the Inland Empire. See how you like that one. Lol
So glad you noted the Blackhawk greens (or plinko as we like to call it). One thing you failed to mention is how many golf cart path turns bank outward. I have never felt more at risk on a golf course than driving around Blackhawk.
Kokopelli Golf course in Gilbert, AZ could rival the worse course. You are lucky to find a “piece” of grass on the course. But don’t worry, they do have bunkers. Just can’t say they have “sand” in them…. :)
35:33 That million dollars is probably the insurance payout if the ants turn it into the last round of your life.
It's too bad you didn't go to Hiawatha GC in Minneapolis. I think the reviews don't reflect how crappy this course is. I'm in an extra effusive mood because I got drilled in the knee by someone when I was on the PRACTICE PUTTING GREEN yesterday. Hurt like hell and I'm just glad I didn't get it in the face, jewels, etc. The overall layout is a multi-acre mud hole in the Minnehaha Creek watershed. When it rains heavily the course floods. Many greens are unusable with cracked, dried mud holes all over them. I recently played with two 13 year olds who had 4 more friends behind them and were basically a marauding middle school let loose. I escaped and went ahead. I came across them later (they were 5 holes behind me by then) and they were in the process of sword fighting with their fathers' $1000 worth of drivers, one of which they broke one while I watched. So you would think it's completely lax there, except that the other day, they had us hitting off mats on the range (for shitty-ness, see below). Fine, but there were no rubber tees in the holes, so I stepped up to the grass just for Driver. Then an old miserable dino rolled up and chewed me out for that. So I punched a hole right through the mat with my driver's adjuster tool so I could stick a regular tee in. As you drive down the fairway, you will hit rolling and constant bumps that will have your ears ringing and head aching by the end. Range is all uphill lies. There is a ridge at 120 yards that balls appear beyond at 180. So you can't see it if you hit it between those distances. The balls are absolute punky radishes. I hit one once that started to exfoliate in the air, spraying shrapnel as it went. Suck-tacular.
Castle Creek was pretty nice back in the '90s. Played there twice and loved it...
The first course, "Buffalo Tournament Club" is honestly very beautiful. Nice looking clubhouse. They just need to fix irrigation, cart paths, and maybe work on the landscaping a little bit, and that could be a very nice course.
I know this isnt your newest video, and I hope you see this comment. There is a course in Southern California in my hometown of Murrieta, CA that is just as bad as Castle Creek.
The course is called California Oaks Golf Course, but locals call it the Colony. No range, no chipping green. Putting green only. No resturaunt/snack shop. The proshop has no lighting and uses natural light from the windowed door to light up the place. They only sell a couple things: old used clubs, tees, minimal golf balls, and they get a couple food items that are sold out for the day once they are gone. No gloves, bags, clothing, or essentials. No one drives around the course to sell food and there is no water on the course. One bathroom in the front nine one bathroom in the back nine.
The course itself is a quagmire. Down the right side of the fairway on the front 9, there is a 'creek' that is overgrown, filled with algae, mosquitos, animal holes and is genuinely dangerous if you get too close. You can easily lose you footing and fall. The last time I played this course 2 months ago, 2 stray dogs came sprinting down a fairway. They didnt bother us, but who knows where they came from or went. Also, the course is extremely narrow in spots that make any slice going left will hit a home and any slice right will either be in the swamp or other fairway.
Around the water hazards are flocks of geese who DO NOT CARE if you are swing clubs near them. They will not move and their excriment is everywhere. Certain parts of the course have huge amounts of pepper trees and the air reeks from them. On 10 or 11, there is a drainage basin that just emptiest onto the course and makes a mucky, slimy, gross hazard.
The sand traps are insanely hard and the course had not one single rake in any trap. You can see where earlier players hit into them.
Worst of all, its $50 for a round. It comes with a cart and they expect you to tip the cart cleaners? I have never seen another course do this. Maybe its a thing at higher end course?
I would live to see you play here.
I would believe Castle Creek CC is the 4th rated course in SD County, if there were no other courses in SD County. Great video…
As a golf course superintendent, I love this style of video. It would be nice to chat with a Superintendent or consultant or 2. You could get some background knowledge on the course and shed reasoning and light on the things you notice as a golfer. I could give you the ins and outs of quite a few of the issues.
Finally someone is going to the worst courses!! This video is awesome. When you were in San Diego, you should have played Tecolote Canyon. It makes that Escondido course look like Torrey Pines.
If you do this again I HIGHLY recommend Willowick Golf Course in Santa Ana, CA. Gopher holes everywhere on the fairways, massive coyote dens dug into the greenside bunkers, homeless people sleeping under trees next to tee boxes, people walking their dogs through a fairway you're teeing off on, and loads of golfers who double dip the back 9 so you'll have no one in front of you then a guy randomly tees off at the next hole you're going to. It's a lawless dog track and I love it to death.
I love the cheerfully sarcastic manner in which you look for the silver lining of your rounds in weedy dirt patches from Gehenna.
Castle Creek looked like it had to be rockin' the Stimp Meter at a high 3 !!!
I love the "18 Hole Championship Course" sign on the last course XD
My home course in Poolesville, MD is beautiful and fees are only $29 with a free lunch (hotdog, chips and drink) at the turn and free replays. Would be cool if you did a video on the best budget courses.
My fiance and I just started golfing last year, we know we're terrible and slow so we always let groups go ahead of us. The one thing I can't stand is when people don't give us the chance to let them pass and tee off before we even get to the green. Almost been hit a few times
I just started golf in France
I’m glad that where I played didn’t look like this
Also, you can find numerous courses around Austin/South Texas in about the same shape as Pflugerville. Drought has wrecked havoc the last several years.
When the ball popped up in the air 12 inches after "rolling" that putt.....cracked me up man...Snot Bubble funny
Wow!!!!!!! Very painful…. but, thank you for the very intertaining up date on the three not so great Golf courses in the America.
i didnt know billy horshel had his own golf channel should have your own comedy show!!!!!!!
Dyker Beach GC is under a new contract. It has been taking care of the cart paths. There are no more pot holes on the cart paths. New carts are scheduled to arrive next year. I hope we will no longer be puttering around the course. I saw sprinklers on the 14th fairway. August of 2022 the 14th fairway, during a long drought had nothing but dirt to hit on. Tiger Woods father played at Dyker Beach GC.
Unfortunately, I've played courses like Castle Creek. Usually when new in an area and just looking for the closest course. Kept thinking it would get better as I played. Oh, he lost ball in the fairway is more common on a lot of muni courses in San Diego county though...
Buff Tourney Club is the home course. Next time you are in Buffalo you should give Delaware Park a try 😅
Even crappy courses I worked in college and law school would make sure all the sand bottles were refilled. No excuse for that lol. You spray it with a hose, out gas in it (or hook it up to battery tender), and make sure the sand bottles are full. That’s just basic municipal club stuff.
Can you play Francis A Byrn golf course in West Orange, New Jersey. I work there as land scraping and I’m sure you will love it !
These are decent compared to Cane Creek golf course in Anniston, AL. The greens look like some of the fairways in Texas. The staff is usually angry you’re there. The fairways go from what looks like cow pastures to dirt roads. The only plus the place has is an old lady who tends the bar that’s semi nice if you tip well. It’s surrounded by the remnants of a closed Army Post and if you go there, make sure you don’t stay long. They used to dispose of army chemicals in that town.
Thank you for all the shots of your stroke. You have such a good hesitation at the top. I am starting to play again after a twenty year hiatus due to very serious back problems. Now, after surgery, rehab, stem cell injections and rehab, I have the back if a 60 year old. I’m patterning my swing after yours.
The entire golf world, no exaggeration there, owes you a debt of gratitude Matt! Driving to the #10 tee box on course #3 looked like death highway in Afghanistan. I can't thank you enough for going through this for all of us!
As a person that mows a city owned golf course here in Memphis TN, I mow the tees,twice a week,and move the cups around the greens twice a week as well ,and weed eat around.all poles ,and clubhouse and lakes once per week ,I am so pissed at these golf courses lack of care for their grass
I've said for years that the pros should be playing tournaments on courses like these, not the immaculate courses they play. If they're really the best in the world, they should be playing in rough conditions like this and nothing should be predictable.
The math on the last score card doesn’t add up 😂 38 going out 36 coming it for a total of 72? Love it pol
you need to play Legendary Oaks in Hempstead, Tx. if you want grass on your fairways then don't play here. The greens are somewhat dry of soaking wet. There is nothing like hitting your ball into the cup and its full of water. If you want grass on your tee box, this isn't the place to go. On most tee boxes you need a hammer to put your tee into the ground. We have had very little rain this summer and since they don't water all of the fairways you have wet ones or ones with no grass and lots of hardpan. There is one restroom on the course and it's a take your chance restroom.
if want to buy a beer it's going to cost you 5 dollars per beer. The carts are not in good condition, but you can't expect them to be with the course in the shape that it is in. There is not a starter and nobody to govern the pace of play. It can take six hours to play around on a weekend. The sand in the bunkers isn't sand. it's more like concrete mortar and full of rocks.
I live about 15 miles from Blackhawk, played it for the first time about 3 weeks ago. First time I ever lost a ball in a crack in the middle of the fairway.
23:40 Lost it at the driving range and 30:27 spongy bumpy hoppy mushy cushy greens are the way to go!! LMAO! Great video, reviews, and outstanding commentary, Matt!
I just found your channel on that Jurassic pitch and putt and can’t stop watching. Love this channel. Awesome content. Even recommended to a few friends. New subscriber for life!! 🤘🤘
All of my worst golf nightmares brought to life on that last course!!!!
Definitely recommend Whittle Springs in Knoxville TN. The fairways are basically dirt. There really isn’t a difference between the fairways and rough. The greens are maybe grass?
If you ever want to play on a course that was made on top of a landfill. Make your way to KC. Out in Blue Spring is Stone Canyon.
Whats incredible to me is that the third one is still open. There were more people working (2) than playing (1).
Lol, Buffalo tournament club is just down the road from where I used to work. We did a work tournament there one year. It was supposed to be shotgun start, they told us day of it wouldn't be. The last group was almost 2 hours behind the first group. They didn't start the food they had catered for us until the last group got in, and they ran out of the catered beer waiting for the food.
Also, it did back up quite a bit like you found here. I was playing in a group of 5 for the tournament and we were getting backed up behind a random 2some playing in front of us (did I mention that in addition to no shotgun they put random groups in the middle of our tournament).
Overall the course was ok (except for some construction on one of the holes, but they did warn us about that), but bad experience with the management. We went to a different course the next year.
This is one of my favorite videos yet because of your positivity throughout! Out there all alone! I would not be able to handle myself putting on squishy carpets. Keep up the incredible RUclips work. You are such a boss, MSG!
I can’t stop laughing! This is so hilarious! Love this! You’re my favorite RUclips golf instructor. Keep up the great work.
OMG - the most hysterical video ever!! Matt you are just too funny and courageous!!! Those courses were brutal and we really appreciate you taking one for the team!!! Your comments and the Ozarks reference were unreal. Golf cart and sand trap reviews need to be posted on your instagram as they will go viral for sure. Raking the grass in the "sand trap" was my fave!!! I certainly hope to run in to you at a course!!! All the best!!
Love the jazz piano background music! Very tasteful!
I use to play Castle Creek when it was a great course and yes they've let it go a lot.
I played Castle Creek like 15 years ago and have fond memories of it. Watching this was funny, but sad at the same time
That last course was actually depressing just to look at. The old sign advertising it's restraint and that it was the #3 course in San Diego and to see it now. I mean, there is "Letting it go." and then there is.... THAT. I suffer MDD and GAD and that course would only cause me to have a breakdown.
Replace the black dirt at the Blackhawk with sand pine straw and it’s pretty much the courses I grew up playing in SC.
These wouldn't be that bad... if they were half the price
