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

[@dynamike5651]

Agreed!

[@stormzilla66]

Absolutely. I hope they just keep going and going. I will never get enough of these.

[@Shelf_Help_ca]

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

[@josephrainey5535]

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.

[@spencer.kissack.the.author]

Lucky sod! Love it. I got to do that with St. George's, before The Open that Darren Clarke won

[@MrGritteeth]

So what was your score ? And did you have a handicap?

[@josephrainey5535]

@@MrGritteeth Shot an 85. No handicap. We played the tips and I was surprised to see the Ryder Cup tees being placed forward of our tees on a lot of holes. An unforgettable experience though despite the lackluster play on my end haha.

[@superalain1961]

Is this course available for the public? I’m preparing my bucket list to play when I retire in 2 yrs max

Can you imagine going out to play, no spectators...no help looking for balls....probably ball selling stands every few holes

Easily one of the world's best golf courses.

[@alexcurtas2616]

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

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

[@marcusc2159]

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

[@hikerdog8562]

Beautiful course. Wow.

[@MegaSkiman]

Beautifully written and narrarated

[@kristopherseeman831]

@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

[@GolfDigest]

Great suggestion, Kristopher. Appreciate the support, we love making them.

[@rupenaik]

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.

[@GJ-jx3md]

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!

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

[@jefferyzielke7665]

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

[@jefferyzielke7665]

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.

[@spencer.kissack.the.author]

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 🏆👍🏻

[@ForePlayTracker_]

I'll be there next week!

Monster of a course

[@ruachadam5227]

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

[@andrewkiminhwan]

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.

[@Pulse2AM]

I would shoot over 100 there as a 7 handicap I'm sure and lose a dozen balls.

[@evilgriffing1825]

Was waiting for this one

[@jacksongatlin5418]

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

[@ianbradley2980]

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

@@sherlockholmes60 I didn’t actually lose one single ball (SHOCKINGLY), hit it a bit all over the place, but always found it (well the caddy found it). That is an incredible property.

[@user-sb4zv7pv4i]

@@sherlockholmes60 free hot dogs and brats at the turn house are delicious, really good. It’s a pretty brutal walk (the straits), but a ton of fun. Caddies are great with photos, etc. My advice would be if you land in a fairway bunker and aren’t confident you can advance it all the way to the green, get back out to the fairway asap. The amount of bunker trouble all up the sides and surrounding the greens is pretty daunting and bogeys can turn into triples in a hurry if you don’t play smart (or within yourself at least).

[@ryanmarshall3487]

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

[@jdheelfan]

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.

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🧐

[@bhobg]

I suspect advantage Europe this coming weekend.

[@jeffreycooley2032]

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

[@chosen1one930]

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

[@pepawg2281]

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

[@Pulse2AM]

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.
