#1 Bucket List Golf Course

[@ZacRadford]

I am very sorry for the high pitch frequency sounds throughout the video. Unfortunately things like that happen sometimes when filming by yourself. Hope you enjoy the vid 👊

[@williaki37]

No apologies needed! 👊🏼 A few holes into to the video and your short game is 🔥

[@ZacRadford]

@@williaki37Much love 👊

[@mikesmith3235]

Didn't notice anything wrong Zac - great video

[@GdubsGjoe7]

Dude you love yourself and your game lol.

[@alesanaulu6623]

ZRad just keep shining your Postive lite on the world

[@patrickseymour8225]

Ring neck pheasant, another nice birdie.

[@davejohn255]

Specifically a male.

[@christovanderberg3649]

As a New Zealand resident... I really enjoy this series. Great content Zac! And a solid round at a tough track... Love to see it!

[@James28926]

I have watched a lot of KZbin golf over the years and I cannot recall seeing a better collection of short game shots than these. The chip on the first was magic. The conditions were perfect. I was able to play CK once - I hit driver three iron to reach on 15 and smoked a driver on 16 and barely reached the fairway. Fair to say we had a tough wind.

[@johnpearson3019]

Don't wait on golf bucket list guys! I thought I had another 7-10 years to complete mine, and then arthritis hit my hands hard. I can still bunt it around but it's hard to deal with; I was a 3 handicap.

[@ReedServices]

Fabulous round! Your short game was super sharp and you got a lot out of the round. A couple of questionable tee choices and no stingers! Thanks for posting.

[@billhogangolf]

Great course and you caught it on such a mild day! I've played it before in windy conditions - quite the challenge! Cape Kidnappers is like those golf hole fantasy calendars and it would be "Big Sur CC" on steroids.

[@ZacRadford]

You are definitely right Bill caught it on a very mild day and I can imagine this course playing way more difficult!

[@PaulAlexander-v6h]

Great video. As a NZ resident have played Cape K once, you made it look easy! Awesome course, slightly off the fair way and you are in all sorts of trouble if you can even find your ball. Epic views and an amazing course. Your short game is very strong on this course. Well played and pleased you enjoyed the NZ courses.

[@itsbryito]

Those views are unreal!!

[@ZacRadford]

Absolutely unreal!!

[@waitwaitgrenade]

Just another fantastic video my man! I’m super stoked you filmed the around the same time I was there, allowing me to relive these amazing courses. Can’t wait for the rest!

[@aceattorney]

That camera shot on the 12th green was pure art! Pin slammer, to boot!

[@jeremyabbott9909]

I am so excited you got to play here! Out of the 63 courses I played in NZ this one was hands down my favorite. And like you, when I played there was no wind which is pretty unusual. Thank you for the video, the game and sharing!!!

[@turkeylegs8143]

Nice Jeremy, a group of us played it in November last year and the rain was going sideways! I hit driver into the par 3 8th and ended up 20m short 😂 unfortunately the course was basically unplayable

[@tamehana4268]

Loved the video Zac. I love New Zealand courses. You played a good game on the course. Gets really hard when the wind picks up

[@matts3979]

Excellent round! An absolutely stunning course with breathtaking views. I've seen pictures of the course but the video just blows them away.

[@mattyeates]

Man, that was awesome. Great playing, filming, and editing. The short game was wild!

[@oneoverpar]

You killed out their. You're right about your short and putting game. Hats off to you.

[@ZacRadford]

Much love 👊

[@richdarlowgolf]

Reminds me so much of a heathland course in the UK in summer, what a bucket list course, it’s certainly on mine!

[@ohiogolfer]

Great video Zac and keep up the great work. I watch many of your videos multiple times and never tire of your content, swing and positive attiude. Well done.

[@RobertTreichler-w4p]

Your best course vlog yet. No other yt video showcases this course this well. Hopefully Kauri Cliffs is next.

[@ZacRadford]

Much love 👊 and Te Arai next then Kauri Cliffs!

[@GolfRx]

Wow! This is nice

[@danmyers9372]

Go back and watch the Ko’olau vlog from a couple years ago if you haven’t seen it. The course conditions are not as nice as this course but the layout and the views are off the chart!

[@jrshields3]

Zac, glad you got to play your #1 bucket list course and it looks amazing. Great play and a great vlog!

[@d-wreckb-check1691]

Zac I played there in 2013, so impressive. Doak excelled himself. It’s a course where you use all 14 clubs, that’s skilled architecture. The views are stunning, looking back north to Napier, I’m aching to get back there. Nice playing, you had your short game dialled.

[@LukePeavyGolf]

Unreal course here

[@ZacRadford]

Yesssirrrrrrr

[@AtomMan523]

​@@ZacRadfordIncredible course, also on my bucket list! I look forward to seeing you and @LukePeavyGolf play together this Wednesday at the Good Good Desert Open (I'll be there in person).

[@gonnell64]

When I watched your first pitch shot hit the brakes on top of the ridge and trundle down to the hole I was like this guy is going to be putting on a short game clinic today.👍

[@joshmaclachlan2014]

You are a great picture of Christlike character and it makes it so nice to watch you play golf with such a blessed attitude. Keep it up Zac! God is good. 👊🏼🏌🏻‍♂️⛳️

[@michaelgain3751]

Man thanks for sharing this video! Bucket list course for A LOT of people! Great golf as well for a course you hadn’t played!!

[@Mikey32255]

Great playing and what a great course with unbelievable views 🔥

[@jamievenis8109]

Another awesome video zac such an amazing golf course Ive been lucky enough to play it twice. Can’t wait for the next video

[@garrettkockgolf]

Let’s go Zac! One of my biggest dreams as well! Thanks for the hard work!

[@ZacRadford]

Lessssss goooooo

[@johntwemlow6089]

Really enjoying this series. Your game is great. Putting was amazing also I think that was a pheasant, and the "heather" was a type of Fescue. Looking forward to your involvement in the "GoodGood Live" in Feb. All the best. I want to see you SLAMMIN a bit more.

[@johngenc3782]

What a course ! Great video, Zac.

[@icesycle2262]

Your swing looks great and the short game is on point. Looks like 2024 will be a good year for you Zac.

[@RezRydatwo3]

I have t even made it to your opening speech and holy smokes that course is gorgeous!! Lucky man!!!

[@daves1A1killer]

That was a pheasant. I didn't know they had those in NZ. Pretty cool!

[@marlenescobbie9756]

Yes we have plenty of them here in New Zealand ,but great to see such a wonderful shot of one.

[@toddaman2229]

Beautiful course Zac! I didn’t hear the high pitch too much, but next time you do a bucket course and need someone to film, just let me know. 😅. Great golf as usual!

[@michaelparsons541]

Incredible content! What an amazing course! Also, I think that was a pheasant, but I’m not 100% on that.

[@curtishowcroft7199]

Awesome course and video!!! Thanks for sharing this with us!!!

[@timkarenalderink5175]

Bird is a ringneck pheasant. You should schedule a hunting trip to South Dakato sometime. Lots of fun. Thanks for letting us see Cape Kidnappers up close, beautiful

[@mattcross1722]

Lesssss Gooooo! Love to see you go low at such a stunning course! Would love to get to NZ someday myself. Much love, Brother! Keep the awesome content coming! ⛳️ 🏌️‍♂️ 👊

[@ZacRadford]

I hope you are able to tee it up here someday 👊

[@michaeljaks5720]

World class up and down on one!!!!!

[@ZacRadford]

The short game was feeling good this round!!

[@maxi6009]

Those greens and fairways look unbelievable. So pure!

[@paulnorthover4729]

Another epic round Zac! Great to watch glad youre enjoying our beautiful country

[@tjvbham5831]

Not many KZbinrs playing in New Zealand, so this was very interesting. That course is spectacular, but all the greens look huge. Enjoying your content from this trip. Play well and travel safe.

[@deanoh9929]

DUDE!!!! unreal you are playing well sir now i will be trying to get on that course. Thank you!!!

[@Chris7for12]

Simply stunning! Count your blessings, as it is a beautiful country to visit (visited north island in 2000). It would have been interesting to see your journey that morning out to the course and talking with some of the locals there along the way.

[@ramonpeypoch3671]

Epic course and views and great round Zac! Hope you make it to Kauri Cliffs

[@ZacRadford]

Kauri Cliffs will be coming soon!!

[@davidpretorius]

Kauri is awesome

[@williamcoulter9659]

I think the bird you saw is a pheasant. This course is definitely a bucket list course. The views are incredible.

[@marlenescobbie9756]

Yes definitely a pheasant.

[@kenhayward5720]

I travelled to the US from Australia and played Bulle Rock in Maryland. Great course and got to play a Pete Dye course in Hawaï both great experiences keep up the great content.

[@nyjfan06]

Sick vlog, sick course! Always love the content brotha

[@danmyers9372]

Can clearly see why this was your number 1 bucket list course. Incredibly stunning views on a very cool course in immaculate condition. 👍

[@nickmerrillcpa]

Awesome course! My bucket list continues to grow

[@ZacRadford]

Lesssssss gooooooo

[@patrickcaserta3780]

Majestic views! Thanks for the great content as always 😊

[@mythosarts]

Wow. What a place!

[@deadlymantis4210]

Also played here once...Shot my Hcp so cant complain and similar to you, we had a great weather to boot. It would be a tough track if the wind got up

[@MillerTimeGolf]

Some of the prettiest greens I’ve ever seen condition wise

[@ZacRadford]

They were so pure!

[@SevenLions122]

Definitely an unbelievable looking course Zac, reminds me a lot of Thracian Cliffs in Bulgaria which is a LEGIT contender for the most beautiful course in the world and definitely in Europe!

[@timothyjamesdawson]

I'm going next week this got me so excited!

[@mikepetersen1999]

Love this series. Can't wait for the next course.

[@KEVGO7771]

This is the most beautiful course I have ever seen. Reminds me a bit of Sandpiper here in Santa Barbara. But more beautiful than that.

[@colinparker6089]

This has got to be one of my top bucket list courses. This place looks insane

[@CoachH4n6]

I am so glad that you played this layout as this course is one of my absolute favorite layouts in the world. Since you've played both, would love to hear your opinion on how it stacks up against Pebble Beach here in the States. Looks like you may have caught a break with the wind on this day -- I would imagine that most days would see a bit more breeze to them given the location of the course.

[@deldridg]

Sensational stuff and thank you. If you have any more drone footage, a collection of great golf course vistas would make great viewing with some cool music in the background. Just a thought... Cheers from my golf mad son and me in Sydney - Dave

[@thomasjurisch4016]

I played there in November last year, it was fantastic but very expensive. There were unused Titleist golf clubs available for rent. I also played on Kauri Cliffs, it's similar but different.

[@mdeodar]

Stunning views! Great golf.. 👍🏼

[@myvibe3893]

What a great Video. Thanks for the great entertainment 😮. More please.

[@g_nw]

Sheeeeesh, let’s go Z!! 🍻

[@BermudaBanter]

Love to see it ! Beauty game beauty course

[@robertnash2446]

Your long irons off the tees are solid....you are a good player.

[@KaptainKhaos70]

Walked this course once, good mate lives nearby. Such wonderful views, bird looks like a Ring-Neck Pheasant.

[@Kridian01]

It looks like you're in a dream! Holy moly!

[@chadharman1865]

I don’t actually have the words to describe how out of this world the course and view were but actually epic content 👌👌👌👌

[@efg1311]

Trundle?

[@garrettkockgolf]

13:13 That’s a Ring-Necked Pheasant… super cool bird

[@ZacRadford]

Thanks so much for letting me know!!

[@Skeeta56]

Tasty too!!! Thanks for showing an old man in North Carolina what a gorgeous place New Zealand is!!! A place many of us can only dream about. Love your content and Best Wishes for you and the Sand Bagger in Arizona!!!

[@matthewkowall-gn3te]

I've been waiting for this video dude

[@ZacRadford]

Hope you enjoy 👊

[@golfairsafari]

Incredible course indeed!

[@GolfRx]

Great course log! Zac Played this but barnbougle dunes tops it for me.

[@ZacRadford]

I’d love to tee it up at Barnbougle someday!

[@hughblaikie7489]

Great content Zac - have just subscribed. Took you a while before you started fixing your divots though 😢

[@jacqueshollands5630]

I played along Zac on Steam's Perfect Golf. Happy to say I beat him by making eagles on holes 2 and 16 and birdies on holes 4, 7-8, 13-15, and 17-18 to shoot 12 under. Got to love it! 😂

[@slimpic7]

Great filming despite the audio. Amazing play Zac and that must have been a blast

[@connorcosgrove2953]

bro that chip on the 1st was saucy!!

[@JustJeffGOLF]

Yo that up and down on the first was absolutely insane

[@JustJeffGOLF]

My goodness as I get further your hands around the green just get better. Great scrambling round of golf my goodness. Touch of class, great golf bro!

[@Iui2345]

Ring Neck pheasant! They are all over in the Midwest of America, and are a game bird that is hunted. They were brought to America…and likely New Zealand…from Asia to be a game bird. Beautiful species

[@alexivandamme2303]

Played it before bud. Most aamzing courses i played. I remeber i shot 2 over from the tips

[@jeremycopeland281]

Frickin…. Trundle” is…B a c k !!!! 🤘🏼

[@polar315]

Amazing course. Is the drone footage yours as well? Wondering how you play and do the drones if that is the case. Your short game was on fire this round.

[@BAD_GolfHawaii]

Looks Incredible

[@HnCtalkingRVs]

Love all your videos but what happened to I didn't come here to lay up? This was a (very impressive) long iron video

[@etraindimes8166]

Reminds me of Royal Isabela in Puerto Rico which you should 100% play!

[@rickford4550]

Beautiful looking course

[@Pastor.Devin.Galloway]

That chip on number one 🫡

[@peterandresen328]

Thank you keep it going 😊

[@hugentlh]

Roster Ringneck Pheasant. Very prevalent in the US Midwest. Not as much as they once were but still fairly prevalent in the ag states.

[@SamuelDickson-h6k]

as a New Zealander I love these videos. By the way, what app do you use to track the ball, none of mine do that well

[@gonnell64]

Any chance you can play Tara Iti? Do you know how you can get on?

[@nick6003]

Awesome course

[@ZacRadford]

One of my all time favorite courses!

[@efg1311]

Zac I’ve been watching your videos since the very beginning (the Hawaii jungle course is still my favorite) and you’re one of the best on KZbin. Over the last couple years it’s been funny and amusing how often you say the word trundle but now I’m starting to get worried. I think you need a trundle intervention bro. That was over 30 trundles in a 27 minute video! That’s like 28 too many trundles. Moderation is the key to life.

[@cryptoking8060]

The conditions of that track are absurd! Fairways are like greens so perfect to flush irons off of. Greens looked like velvet. But for $739 NZ it better be pure!

[@bertways812]

Did I see back to back par 5s? 15th 650yds and 16th 500yds?

[@giuseppesavaglio8136]

Would of loved to of played this course last year when i was there. Unfortunately it would of blown 1/3 of my Holiday budget. 😥 Nice round.

[@AdamIsMyNameO]

Absurdly gorgeous!

[@coreygardner8424]

Wow, just wow 👌

[@TheSquid9124]

Oh my gawdness Time for a what's in the bag

[@markrussellfilaroski5035]

I saw Taco Golf (youtube) play this a month or so ago. So sick!

[@ZacRadford]

Such an epic course!!

[@markrussellfilaroski5035]

That bird is a pheasant btw. ;) (also have them in TN)
