These videos makes my local course look like a pool table!

This is truly GD’s greatest content series. These are amazing.

What a brutally demanding course! I got scared just watching...

You know a course is tough when you lose 12 balls just playing it in your head.

I feel the course needs more length and bunkers!!

I think I saw some of the 2 dozen golf balls I lost when I played here in 2020!!!

I look forward to every one of these vids

Was fortunate to have the opportunity to play here just three weeks ago right before they closed the course down for the Ryder Cup. What an incredible golf course and venue. Cannot recommend highly enough.

This course is incredible! Perfect for the Ryder Cup! So excited!

I lost golf balls just watching this

Incredible. I think I would shoot a 200 here

Wow! Great video! Thank you. The Ryder Cup is going to be awesome!

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.

Never stop doing these videos! I love them all!

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!

Great video. Well written and well shot. The networks never go this in-depth when they do their course descriptions/flyovers.

I’m Ryder cup ready

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.

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.

I've been waiting for this one for a while. Thank you.

Beautiful course. Wow.

This course has the most beautiful, bountiful and brutal bunker setup on maybe any course. Friggin majestic.

I'll be there next week!

To get around this course par is what it’s all about a great challenge for the worlds golfing elite

Beautifully written and narrarated

What an incredible course. Wow.

Monster of a course

Great stuff thanks for posting

@Golf Digest, thanks for these, truly the best videos! Maybe start doing the women's major/Solheim courses too? Would love to get a few more of these each year

Looks like a great & worthy Ryder Cup test. I'm English, but I'm thinking, in spite of this track being particularly links like, the Americans are going to be grabbing the cup back this time. My prediction: 15 1/2 - 12 1/2 Good luck to both teams. Let's have a great tourney, played in Nicklaus/Jacklin type spirit 🏆👍🏻

Sand Hills and Whistling Straights are my two dream courses

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

MASTERPIECE.

Incredible!

Wish there was a smoother visual transition to the start of each hole. Would've loved to see the green to tee walk ups through the drone.

Excellent video. I've played here twice. It's beautiful. No doubt. Was it fun? Maybe...

Was waiting for this one

WHAT a dream job to manage this course!⛳

It would take me all day and 2 dozen balls (min) to finish. Absolutely terrifyingly beautiful layout.

This is a beast.

Incredible

These are my favorite videos on KZfaq- kindly requesting Fishers Island Club, LACC, NGLA, Pinehurst :)

these are some monstrous holes

can’t wait to play it

Just wow

Wow!

This isn't a Golf Course, this is a 3D Van Gogh painting using sand traps as brush strokes.

Thank you

Brilliant video

OMG what a (beautiful beast) test. Well….let’s go Europe ! 💪🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺

incredible

You word 'intimidating' is not strong enough to describe this (beautiful) golf course.

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

Played here last year during fall break, it was unbelievable!!

On the holes you play well, you forget there were even bunkers or the lake. But that illusion won't last the entire round unless you're a Pro champion. I tried hitting out of that bunker on Gremlin's Ear, it was hellish. Really look forward to all the different pin locations during the Ryder Cup.

Excellent golf course, I shot a 65 there and on the back nine I......

Stunning yet terrifying! should be an amazing Ryder Cup!

This game is all about the course

#teamusa So excited! Bet Reed is not happy. Kind of a drag he wasn't picked. Hope Keopka delivers. With it being played in my dear state of Wisconsin. What a beautiful course. #gopackgo

I’m playing this in May, it looks wildly difficult.

I like Whistling Straights

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.

Nothing and I mean nothing beats the Irish landscape ..ardglass GC, Royal Portrush, Royal County down… but the states will always have manicured courses

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

Looks like theres 10,000 bunkers!!!

Business opportunity to set up a golf ball shop between holes 9 and 10. Would make a fortune.

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🧐

wow

This course translates so well on television. 17 and 18 are bruisers.

I suspect advantage Europe this coming weekend.

Played it twice. Shot 130

I've been fortunate to play 60-70 of the world top 100. For mine, Whistling Straihts is one of the most underrated golf courses. It's always on my top 30. Just one good hole after another

Was literally looking to see if this existed a week ago. Happy to see I was just way too early.

Some people look at the fairways and greens. I just look at the sand and mounds, since that’s where I’d be hanging out most of the day….

Hole 4 is the hardest Par 4 I've ever played

Im a 10, hcp and would be pushed to break 120 on that course, an loose +12 balls.

Was looking forward to the Ryder Cup, I am not excited now that ever. Should be a great weekend for golf. Need to check and see if this course is on my simulator too.

I think this is one of the few courses I have absolutely no interest in playing. Dear god.

Trust me I know every hole and have it mastered, I shot a 59 here. On PGA 2k that is

I'd hate to be that grounds keeper that rakes the bunkers

a 520 yard par 4 are you serious

I'd be happy with

I would gladly pay the $330 to play here. I might not break 110, but that's not my point. A dream course.

Shout out Mitch Conners

There are 1012 bunkers on this course. They're going over budget just on them

Thankfully, we didn't have another 2010 PGA incident during the Ryder Cup.

A grounds keepers nightmare.

Who are the 3 people who disliked this and why do they exist??

I might shoot a 150.....my playing partner a 300

Scariest looking course in USA

Brilliant scriptwriting.

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

First hole at Waterville Kerry is called! “Last easy”. It’s not that easy.

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.

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.

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 could prob shoot.... a 110 here lol

Roll on Friday hope Europe can win it but the USA look so strong but it's gonna be brilliant and close I'm guessing

Don't fancy the 7th
