yall who suggested the first course are SPOILED

Hi there! I actually work at Bonaventure, I am glad you gave the course a shot. As the reviews show, the course used to be worse for wear. We have recently gone under new management and we’ve been rapidly improving our course trying to bring it back to life. A couple things to note, the bathrooms, the key is attached to your cart key as it has 2 keys, if you look closely at 6:33, you can see that. 2. the billboard is not on our property and we hate it just as much as the highway right next to us, but what can you do? Also, we are getting new carts this winter! We as well have a new greenskeeping staff that is working on our property and holes 1,5, and 17 were completely stripped and redone. I am glad to see us out there on the internet, regardless of the criticism, we have a lot of work to do. Thanks for coming and you’re welcome to do another video in a couple months to see our progress! 🙂

This series needs to go viral...share it, post it...we need to make sure Matt makes all his money back on these videos...

love how Mr SG isn't a resort snob like other tubers. The man is happy to get down and dirty with the common folk. Love this video mate.

That 2nd course you reviewed had me laughing to tears. Love these videos. Best was you pounding the tee in with your iron. Loving all the work you put in for our entertainment!

That was a gutsy move drinking from that water bucket hope you're up to date on all your vaccinations also love the cart reviews you should be a car salesman on the side

The Florida course looks like Augusta National compared to the other dumps.

That has to be the course record in San Antonio. If 3 of the top players in the world were with you I'd be shocked at any were breaking 75. Every putt is russian roulette. Loved every minute of it.

This was one of the most entertaining videos that you have made. Didn’t learn any great golf tips but had a great laugh. Thanks for doing it.

This is definitely your comedic niche. I just love them as they make me laugh as mentioned on the last one while getting through chemo. I laughed so hard again and the comments had me rolling. Appalled at the conditions but this is comedy at it's best. Still want to play a few wholes with you when we wrap this treatment up and I'm cancer free! I love these videos and thank you for getting me to laugh so hard! This is better than Bob does golf!

Was the second course actually closed? It looked like you never made contact with anyone, shouldered your bag and went off. The fact that you scored as well as you did was amazing.

You have more fun on bad courses than most people have on nice courses. Agree this should be a series, well done, funny, and thanks for just being a positive guy Matt, Cheers

Love these series. What a great idea. Please do more of worst golf courses of America reviews. The fact you fly to play these terrible courses just shows extreme dedication to the series.

I play Bonaventure at least once a week. The management there has really made some great improvements. It's no wonder MrShortGame was surprised by the condition of the course as all the reviews he posted were at least four months old. A lot can happen over the summer, as in repairing the sprinkler system and the rebuilding three greens. Those new greens are a work of art and in perfect condition.

As someone who grew up in Lake Elsinore and since moved, it pains me to see what the Links of Summerly has become. When that placed first opened it was so pure. Such a tough and fun layout that you just didn't get anywhere else.

I love it when you take us to such nice courses as these. Locally two of our courses closed due to lack of water. Nice to see green on a course and some of it was even connected. Keep up the good work and searching for more of these treasures.

These course reviews are so much fun, so much to enjoy from them.. Can't wait to see the next series on the 'best of the worst' 😁

I can't believe you were even able to score a tee time for that second course. And Juan's ***** review on the 3rd course was priceless. Good video.

Love how much energy and time you put into your journeys. Makes me smile, laugh and learn actually. You’re a great dude and keep em rolling my guy 🤘🏼🔥

Absolutely love these course vlogs. So much fun. Please keep them coming!

Mr Short Game, that was the funniest golf video I watched this month! Comedic, tongue in cheek, gold! But what was really impressive is your scores. You are a helluva golfer. You have proven to me that a good golfer can play pretty well regardless of the conditions! Thanks for the entertaining travel review of the three worst courses in America. I’m gonna put them on my bucket list. May not get to them.

Matt, never laughed at a golf video so hard in my life. Also, thanks for the tip on scammers. You cannot tell a true offer from a scam. They mimic a true offer so completely they are virtually indistinguishable!

I hope this series continues. Honestly the most entertaining golf content in my recent memory.

Great piece. When living in Palm Beach from 2000 to 2010 I played Bonaventure a couple of times. It was in good shape and as you said a challenging layout. You were funny and polite with all your comments for the last two courses.

Course 2 has me crying right now. How you were able to keep it serious during any of that course is beyond commendable.

Matt you are the man.... It's remarkable how you invest time and money into going to these places when everybody else would do the same to go to dreamed courses. Kudos to you

As an employee of a golf course ,at 6:57,,those are punch marks for seeding on the greens ,and we do that tees too. Mowers only leave lines ,and uneven terrain on greens if uneven or offset, COME TO PINE HILL IN MEMPHIS TN ,when u get a chance

Love this series! My wife sits here laughing at me...laughing at you! I'm from Riverside, so I know Lake Elsenore well. Keep up the great work!

I get tough conditions playing in the Great White North. But at least owners here try to operate properly. It's comical the state of those bad courses. Really like to see more of the series.

I will never complain about the condition of any golf I play course again! 🙂This was hysterical! And, you still scored well on the scorched Earth, killer ant-infested, courses of death! Good job!

Still, to this day, I use the very best putting tip ever. A few years back, you did a video on reading up and down hill putts, " double the amount of break going down hill apposed to uphill." It's helped my game emensly. Thank you,

What a fun vid! Maybe start another series playing the best course or finding hidden gems? Love the content keep it up!

I can’t believe you drank that water. Who knows how long that could have been in there

Just amazed you can still shoot in the 70’s playing those sh-tholes lol.. great job

Love it! 😂😂😂 Second course I was laughing so hard! Bravo! 👏👏👏

I can’t explain in anymore detail how happy this channel makes me! Keep up all your great work. It is a real pleasure to travel and see these courses with great commentary and low scores too!

I have never laughed so hard at one of your videos, Matt. Love it. 😂😂

I love this! It's so nice when someone can have fun with the not great things in golf. That first one, seems a timing issue. Was bad, someone showed up who cares, and being that it's Florida got good conditions for making things better. I looked up the Lakeside Golf Club and allegedly it is open. Though per the Google activity tracker thing, it's less busy than usual. Which, not a surprise. Also less busy than usual, usual when?

I've played that Canyon Lake course I believe many years ago. What a transformation. No members, no golfers around, no funds, not upkeep. The drought we had last summer didn't help the situation eirther. The cart with no windshield? I've never seen that before. Your're the best golfer I've seen outside of the pros on tours. The short game is razor sharp.

Highly entertaining! Really enjoyed. Seeing the ball hop on the greens and take 45 degree turns was something else 😂

love this series! keep it coming

What a commitment for a video!! I would enjoy seeing if you get any back story on some of those courses and how they ended up that way. Also what happened to the wings and pickle fries...?

Great video, not sure what was worse the San Antonio or only having 9 holes in San Diego. Can't wait for part 3.

I love this content. The happiness on your face playing these horrible courses is amazing. I would love to get my hands on that cool ball. I cant believe how you manage to make any birdies on the horrible courses you play. I love it 😊😂

Great content Sir! I love your training videos, and now these funny course videos are a great addition. Just let me know when you're shipping me that ball so I can make a spot in my wall collection 😂....

Top tier content. Thanks for investing all the effort, time, and money into even a short video like this. More please!

Hahaha the comment about the bob does sports guys had me click the like button immediately. Great video man, love the humor and I loved to see how bad some places have (sadly) become. Especially the second course, it looks so full of potential.

I live in south Florida and used to play Bonaventure a lot (pronounced bonna-venture) I hadn’t played in years but went a little while ago and also left it a 1 star review lol. This used to be the premier course in south Florida and hosted a lot of semi pro events and qualifiers. As you pointed out the layout is really great with well designed holes (that first par 3 with the waterfall was the signature hole) and plays pretty challenging with the water and wind but it has fallen into disrepair. Just unkept with patchy greens, the rough is actually st Augustine and weeds and the bunkers are more dirt than sand. I bet you had a better experience at Osprey Point, I was there the day you were filming lol.

This might be my new favorite video on the channel 😂 nice job Matt! Btw I wouldn't have risked drinking that water LOL

Used to travel to Lake Elsinore frequently for business. Went by the “Links” many times and decided to take my clubs (about 2012) to give it a try. My goodness has this place gone downhill! Had some rough spots back then but nothing like this. Company I worked with was right next to the jump school and we’d occasionally get a stray skydiver on the roof.

More of this content please, love this series.

This is an awesome series!! Keep it going pls!!

I spit out my coffee when you said, "it resembles the moon. I have never been there." Classic!

That second course had me in tears😂 I loved seeing a puff of dirt on each shot and watching your ball bounce to and fro on its way to the hole. “Rolling 5 on the stimp” 😂😂😂

Great video. Loved how you blamed yourself for the bad shots. Like not planning for the 6 inch pop-up on the putt. This is a great series, keep it going.

Matt your commentary had me rolling until I had a coughing fit😂😂😂. I would not have drank from that water jug though. Hopefully you didn't get Typhoid Fever! 😅

Thanks for this series...makes me feel better about the courses I play that I thought were poorly maintained!

The sarcasm in this video is top notch 😂😂😂

Played on Elsinore Highs golf team for all 4 years and Summerly was our home course 2010-2014. Crazy to see how far it has fallen. Used to actually be a very nice place. It now fits in more with the rest of Elsinore now though..

This video has made me respect my Country Club for all the hard work the put into their maintenance. Thanks for the awesome and entertaining video MSG!

After watching this video I feel like I need to change the review of my home course here in New Hampshire. It’s worse than I gave it credit for 😂😂 Great video Matt. Thanks for the entertainment!

Absolutely hilarious. Some brutle tracks. Thanks for the Saturday morning laughs.

The content is impeccable. I laughed out loud at you. Very funny

Love your work Mat, couldn’t stop laughing…..😂

The first course is clearly being repaired. I couldn't stop laughing when you played the second one. That was great content right there. My sides hurt from laughing so much. I've never seen such tall grass on the "greens".

I could barely see the screen with the tears rolling down my face when we got to the second one. I was waiting for Matt to bust out the launch monitor to see if it could cope with the lateral rollout. 😂 🤣

Love your content! Funny yet informative. Great video

Truly, great content. Played a course very similar to the bad ones you reviewed. It was hilarious how bad the greens were! Thanks for the channel.

"The flagstick has perished... so it's lying down." Comedy gold.😄

Thanks for coming and reviewing Lakeside. I use it as a practice course so when I go to a course with actual grass I’m that much better. It’s the worst. LOL

This is like Survivor Golf Edition😅. Absolutely LOVE this series.

I absolutely love these videos from you, can't get enough of them

Philly Cricket club ball! I’m from around the area. From what I saw that’s where that ball is from! What a video. Always a joy to see you shoot great rounds at the worst courses around America. God bless you brother

Loving this content Matt! Your sense of humor and sarcasm is so spot on. Keep up the great work.

Matt, great video. Only been playing golf for a couple of months, but love your attitude and the way you mix up the lessons. Open invite to come and play in 'good old England'. Love you man P.S. I'd love the ball !!!

Ten years ago I used to live a few miles from Lake Elsinore and played Links of Summerly. The fairways were greener as were the greens. Finding your way around the course wasn't much easier and I would have been completely lost had not the 2 guys I played with pointed me in the right direction! Now I live in Austin and could make it down to San Antonio and play the course there.......looks like getting a tee time might not be a problem. As Meatloaf says.......2 out of 3 ain't bad!

I really enjoyed your review of the three worst golf courses in America! It was hilarious to watch and I’m amazed at how well you played! Thanks for sharing Matt!

So glad you checked out my recommended course in Lake Elsinore! Front 9 is nothing but dirt! That Texas course looked pretty horrible. Thanks for 30 minutes of laughs! I can't believe how you made some of those putts/chips. Awesome!

So I play a muni course sort of like Canyon where you get a lot of loose dirt lies. I think it would be neat if you did a little "how-to" on playing out off of stuff like that! lol! Seriously though, some parts of Texas has had such bad luck with the drought and extreme temps lately. It's just so expensive to water and maintain them without help from mother nature in the form of rain. And, you can't afford to keep the maintenance crews around when their isn't any grass to mow. This is why I think 6 hole courses would be more beneficial in those areas. Less to water, less to maintain!

Hi Mr SG. Been a sub since the california days and the first video i saw of you was that backyard chipping video you filmed over your pool area. Anyway I hope you visit Black Diamond Ranch golf course in Lecanto,Fl (west coast area north of Tampa) and make a review. Love tgat golf course. I love in Ft Lauderdale area and good one out here is the Rolling Hills golf and country club (Where they shot Caddy Shack back in the days). keep it up dude, your the best.

I have actually played that Lakeside course near Canyon Lake. Grew up in San Antonio. It was much better back then, lol. Great series, these are a fun watch!

This one was so good! You should make it a series when ever you have the chance and visit different states😂

Those lines on the green are likely from a recent verti-cut. I’m guessing those greens are Bermuda and they’re trying to harden them up or it’s part of normal maintenance plan. Verti-cutting is different from punching. You use a mower with vertically teeth and dig into the thatch layer, rip it up to the surface to be blown off or collected. Also…there typically is a separate entity at the course that cleans the bathrooms, but one of the assistant superintendents typically unlocks the bathrooms in the morning for the crew and golfers. Cleaning is only done a couple times a week. The more you know 🌈 Enjoyed the video! As someone who’s been in agronomy for 7 years, this was hard to watch without cringing.

That second course literally looked like it was abandoned. Shocked the TV was on in the place still

What a great video. I can't believe how many times I laughed out loud. Great job.

I love videos like these! They're so fun

If ever back in this area, near Boner-ventura, Ft Laud has a FREE 3 hole par 3 course with real grass run by Ft Laud park & rec. It also has practice area for both short game & full swing BUT the area is in transitional neighborhood so its best to go early AM & avoid the tougher crowds.

I just drove the Lake Elsinore yesterday and man, if I would have known I could have played a course that MSG reviewed, I would have at least stopped to say I've been there. Thanks for the video Sir, it was genuinely entertaining.

Great video! I hope you create regular series based on this idea. Not weekly, of course.

Could have stayed in Texas for a couple weeks and never ran out of video after the summer of no rain we've had! Great Video!!

Great video, and love the series. But then again I like all your stuff.

Keep this going! I find rhis so much more entertaining than videos of immaculately manicured courses.

I got a greay laugh and had to watch again you putting bag on green." Gonna take a shoot in the dark and say thats gonna be okay today" lol

Great series MSG! Love it!!

Lol, love this! Im guessing you could do a whole series in the "worst courses" category

Great series. If you ever venture into northeast TN then you play the city owned Steele Creek golf course. Only 9 holes but one of the worst courses I've ever played on. It looks like it could be nice with some effort.

🤣🤣 laughed my a-- off. for drinking the water. you're a brave soul.

This has been great, you should have a contest for your next 3 and have a local subscriber join you for a laugh

That’s so crazy you played the Links At Summerly it’s one couse near me that I have played before and said the you said, when I first played there . Definitely love the video you gotta do another one love it my guy 🙌🙏👊

Great work Matt, no idea how you manage to score such good numbers on these mud pits!
