Can Grant Horvat Break 72 at SpyGlass Hill?

[@tylerstephenson8747]

Easily my new favorite golf video on all of KZbin the editing and filming was amazing.

[@GrantHorvatGolfs]

Love to hear that man!

[@wadepreston3401]

The greens were impossible.

[@Majerly_Annoyed]

And the music selections were impeccable for this video!

[@RyanButcher-ce3xu]

Any idea what the song was at the start? Wouldn’t mind downloading that one!

[@Majerly_Annoyed]

@@RyanButcher-ce3xu Whatever, Whatever by Peter Crosby. As soon as I heard the opening, I replayed it and used Shazam and immediately downloaded it. Great song!!

[@GrantHorvatGolfs]

What an unreal golf course. Hope you enjoy!

[@danmyers9372]

As Californian all I can say is welcome to Spyglass! Your aggressive putting speed really made you pay a high price. I also have never seen you hit so many shots out yo the right.

[@BamaShanks]

I’ve never played there, but it looks beautiful in the video.

[@10scoach33]

Those greens must hav been playing at a 13-14 the way you blew by putts!!! That’s a tough course

[@wadestilwell4228]

I don't take joy from others hard times but it's kind of nice to see that a golfer as good as Grant can experience the same problems as us weekend warriors

[@chrissmith3222]

the gap between scratch golfers and tour players is much bigger than the gap between a 18 handicap and a scratch golfer.

[@ohhdanni9422]

its not really the same tho. hes playing a course that is ridiculously hard, where yall are playing average course that aint that tuff. but i understand what you mean. just to see them struggle every once and a while is fun LOL

[@njdevil8950]

Can’t? You mean can?

[@sergiohernandez8682]

79 is ridiculously good on a tough course you kidding? Some tours pros might shoot the same on a bad day

[@roberttaylor7984]

I agree, but at the same time it’s just amazing to see how Grant cope with his feelings. If that were me, I’ll had a total breakdown. Grant is THE king!!!

[@johnmchugh9852]

Played 4 courses here for my 70th birthday. Pacific Grove, Pebble Beach, Spanish Bay and Spyglass. It’s been 5 years and I’m still loving the experience. Thanks to my Son John for the great memories.

[@michaeldellorso889]

What was your handicap (roughly) and what’d you shoot? Kudos to your son. Hell of a gift.

The cinematography is the best in golf youtube. The style of film/editing is perfect for a serious solo round golf from Grant.

First became aware of Grant on Rick Shiels channel, thinking this guy can`t be this cool and genuine. But you`ve converted me young man, carry on the good work. Live the dream.

Thank you for doing this video. Spent 5 years as an Assistant golf pro at Spyglass and watching your video brought back many memories. Home Sweet Home. Don't feel bad, I was in many of the same situations that you were, I feel your pain. Back then the ice plant was much more lush and in play. The deer too. Be glad you didn't end up in that. LOL

[@stuartwhite4525]

Grant, really enjoyed seeing Spyglass. You did brilliantly to maintain your composure throughout. A big takeaway! Many thanks

[@Shakester71]

This course will humble you really fast. I’m a 7 handicap and shot a 96 here.

[@Logibox0494]

do you think the greens are a bit too fast?

[@Shakester71]

@@Logibox0494 I played early and the greens were a bit wet so a tad slower than a 13. I don’t remember it being all that fast. Definitely faster than a course like Harding Park, which has slow greens, but I frequently play Green Hills which has fast greens and lots of false fronts.

[@redo3138]

Yep, there are a few really hard holes. 1-3 are benign. 4 becomes harder and then it's like every second hole or so is hard. Don't remember my score, but I remember I parred or birdied 17, going to 18 with hopes of a decent score. 18 got me totally. Messed up around the green with multiple bunker visits and got something like a quad on the last. I was still so so happy after the round. Amazed by the course.

[@MarkSmithhhh]

Yep same, I'm an 8 and shot a 98...you'll doubt everything you "thought" you were good at, once you get to hole 4 it hits you like a ton of bricks

[@warrenb2856]

Back in the 1990´s the 4th green was surrounded by ice plant. Ice plant is basically an unplayable lie. It slowed play so much they have removed it from all courses in the area. I was 5 over thru the first five holes and shot 78 one time. I don´t think there are any 5 holes more difficult than 1-5 at Spyglass. Have not played Pine Valley though.@@MarkSmithhhh

[@kenziemcneil7179]

Interesting add of the old german national athem at 23:00 -- Great video Grant! Impressive stuff.

[@stevepieri3536]

Recently joined your channel and love your videos. This one especially because I just paid my deposit today to play, in order, Spanish Bay, Poppy Hills, Spyglass Hill, and Pebble at the end of March 2025 with my golf buddies. My goal is to attempt to maintain my composure like you did, manage my expectations, and enjoy the beauty and experience of the courses. Keep up the great work Grant!

[@patchadams7335]

Absolutely great golf course. One of the best in the world. One of the most difficult courses I’ve very played

[@tsamasfyros]

OMG...deja vu! I ended up in so many of the same spots off the tee, only not from the tips. So crazy how so many decent shots can put you in golf hell.

[@ronsoderstrom7967]

Great video! I'm playing there & Pebble in Oct. 2025 so I'll be watching this a few more times to prepare. Thanks Grant!

[@redo3138]

Thanks. Spyglass is awesome. I played Poppy Hills, Pebble and Spyglass over a weekend 20 years ago. While Pebble is awesome I ❤LOVE❤ Spyglass. Even though it's 20 years ago I remember many shots and I have a vivid memory of the stunning views. It was a pleasure to return to Spyglass in this way and I can't wait to visit back.

[@trickyBasterd]

Played them all as well and I’ll take Poppy Hills over Spyglass

[@cpb4670]

I was lucky to play there this past summer. Easily the toughest course I've ever played. If you're not striking the ball well, it will be a long day. I'm a 3 handicap and shot a 95. Until i started taking more club, every approach was short. Those greens are no joke. Never had so many 3 and 4 putts. Still one of the best days ever. Thank you Grant for playing here. It brought back a lot of good memories.

[@chadsherrill1875]

Those greens were unbelievably fast. Crazy what the pros can do playing this hard courses

[@charlieryan531]

Was thinking the same. We only ever look at the top of the leader board. Now we can appreciate why tour pros end up 7+ over in the bottom half

[@ckwan2538]

I laughed so hard when you mentioned it's a Grant Horvat Golf Video after hitting a hard lip out. Your content has been amazing. I personally love genuine reactions like that, keep it up man!!

[@disblack55]

Grant is for sure my favourite KZbin golfer, just ahead of Pete Finch and I enjoy watching all their videos. However, sometimes as a mid handicapper, their skill level and ability is so beautiful to watch and aspirational, but at the same time, unrelatable. But this video makes me feel like he's really just one of us. He ground out that score, just like we all do. I could really feel his frustration. So instead of just watching an amazing golfer, with a silky swing, hit beautiful shots on great courses, the trials and tribulations he went through give this video, for me at least, a genuine level of engagement that I've not felt before.

[@smitty9733]

WAY to grind. I was lucky enough in the 90"s to play Pebble, Spyglass, Spanish Bay -- Poppy Hills was closed. Our caddie was Gavin the "G-man" and he was fantastic. I loved Spyglass but Pebble was one of those bucket list courses that I will never forget. Great video - Bethpage Black was my home H.S. course and I cannot wait for the Ryder cup there. Thanks for this.

[@pinepaul9920]

I’ve been lucky to play both Spyglass and Pebble and you’ve brought back a lot of good memories for me. Thanks Grant

42:40 there can not be a better example of a pured driver. That was a beautiful clip.

This is such an interesting and hard course. I played it on a cold, drizzly, windy day with no caddy. I felt like I was playing at the peak of my potential, but walked away around my average score (82). Can't wait for the opportunity to play it again.

Just found this channel love it Grant great work to you and your team. Super positive golf vibes!!

[@CratysThoughts]

Grant i felt the same way when i played out here. Its so tough to get used to these types of tracks. The ball just reacts so differently than what we are used to. You didnt hit a "bad" shot and still made a triple, then your flop on the next hole looks great and winds up 10 feet away. Such a tough track and easily a top 5 for me. I enjoyed this course over Pebble.

[@m.soldinho1346]

Insane how fast these greens were :D and crazy how good you score on a "bad day" One thing you gotta explain tho, why did u play the german anthem at 23:30 when the ball rolled over the green, that was harsh for me as a german to watch xD

[@MyPapagio]

[@James_Edward59]

37:21 Trust it is going to break… 2 seconds later… It doesn’t break 😂 I felt that one for Grant but like he said, it isn’t a Grant Horvac video if he doesn’t have a lip out. Also, it’s not a Grant Horvac video with some drives into the bunker. Monterey/Carmel is absolutely beautiful and I love living less than 2 hours away from there, 17 mile drive all the way down to Pebble Beach is something you have to see for yourself because pictures and videos don’t do it justice.

Played Bethpage a few weeks ago. Not my first time. Wind was blowing, and it was brutal. Course is monster with perfect conditions. A fair monster. One mistake and it compounds and snowballs. Was feeling what Grant was saying the first few holes. These greens were ridiculous, though. Played a private club that was rolling like this video. Makes you overthink your approaches and putts when your full wedge rolls off the green or a putt you barely touched rolls on by.

Not at you but because I experienced the exact same thing. 9 green stands out to me so much as I had quite the downhill putt to that same front pin. Thanks for the video!

[@johntaggart859]

That is one tricky track. Great perseverance Grant!

[@stevenchampion8137]

Thing is, it's a very tough call in saying "course X is 4, 5, or 9 shots greater or fewer than course Y", because it can be EVERY shot that is tougher. Ergo, a 72 on X doesn't equate to a 76 on Y! Oh no no nooo! As we see here, almost every shot is tougher. Eg, 136 at Royal Cinque Ports, UK off the yellow, is not the same as 144 off the blacks. No sir. I'd love to see Grant or DOD play RCP off the blacks, in Open qualifying setup...maybe in very windy (in the US, you may call it 'unplayable' conditions). It may pelt down with rain too btw. You may need to drill a driver just to be in range with a 3 wd...the weather may be favourable. Have you watched Jeff Ogily's video round here? I love Grant's videos. And he is a great person.

1st is a dogleg left and you can’t see the green until you’re about 180 off the tee. You get past the tree line and you look down the steep hill and see a beautiful green complex with the ocean behind it. Spectacular. Phil shot 59 or 60 there in the PB ProAm. I don’t think it’s a lot tougher than Pebble especially if the winds up. If windy PB is tougher.
