How does Zach not have over 100k subs yet? This dude consistently delivers no frills, hardcore golf content without all the clickbait and shenanigans. Keep up the great work Zach!

I wanna see Zach v Rick Shiels v Peter Finch as soon as this virus thing is over and international travel is fine again. Match play, 18 holes, winner gets the other persons subscribers.

[@SomeoneAwesome3998]

The only thing I can guess is the amount he talks about things other than golf in between shots is a lot more than some other golf youtubers with more subscribers. I don’t mind it, but to the average viewer who has the attention span of a squirrel, I can see them getting annoyed and just wanting to see the golf and choosing not to watch his videos next time. He’s great if you ask me though!

Those rams looked like statues at first before they started moving lol

That was one of the coolest things I’ve seen on a golf course in a long time!

The building on the mountain is a VOR for navigation for airplanes. Great round, though!

Thanks so much for letting me know and I appreciate it 👊

Pete Dye has to be the greatest course designer of all time.

[@ZacRadford]

He’s one of my favorites for sure!

So glad y’all enjoyed and can’t thank you enough for having me out! Y’all have an absolute gem of a course!

[@jsmallsawe]

Yes! Love these course vlogs!

[@kevinritzenthaler2225]

I'm from the Northwest Ohio area and my favorite course designer is Arthur Hills (R.I.P. 2021) who is the 6th best course designer of All-Time. Had the absolute pleasure of caddying for his son John when I was a Caddie at the Famous INVERNESS CLUB of Toledo, Ohio from 2015-2016. If you're ever in the OH/MI area he has some really great tracks that should try and play. Keep up the amazing work and great video!

[@ReKo1990]

Those rams were the most random/cool thing you could ever expect from a golf vlog lol

[@ZacRadford]

When I saw them I was like pleasssseeee don’t move haha

[@rosswoodier939]

This video had everything Zac. Cool intro music, local flora and fauna and stunning scenery. Plus some of the best driving I've seen from you. Best golf content on KZbin 👍

[@josephwirtz8352]

The rocks looked like sandstone with some iron oxide staining.😊 Also, due to the fairly fresh unweathered look of some of the rock behind a few of those tees and greens, it is entirely possible they dynamited them out.

[@ZacRadford]

Appreciate the feedback!!

[@james_wedlock_music]

Great golf. Great backdrops. Great music. Great company. Thanks man, keep the course vlogs coming.

I've played Cascata at least 4 times. Wonderful course and a ton of fun to play. Those greens are some of the best greens I have ever putted. Super quick but pure.

[@BenBGolf]

Quickly becoming my fav. golf channel with vlogs like this. Just unreal quality. Great job Zac!

[@ZacRadford]

Much love 👊

[@scottsmith8546]

Great video Zac! My fav golf course designers are: Alister Mackenzie and Pete Dye, because of their thorough design of every little hump, angles, and deception of looking wide open from the tees (which it isn't) to looking like a tunnel from the tee yet, opens up dramatically after 100 yards by the latter.

[@joshuaanglin7780]

all of a sudden these are my favorite videos on KZbin. easily best golf content. loving the front/back 9 two part vlogs, keep it up! and keep going to more amazing courses 😍

[@hoselpalooza1254]

good intro/outro song! also, those rams are amazing. looked up from grabbing a bite of dinner and thought they were statues at first 😂

[@ZacRadford]

Glad you enjoyed 👊

[@KurtSchneider10]

LOVE all the commentary Zac! Going through your thought process on each shot really is helping me in terms of how I think around a golf course. Oh, and the remaining courses that were open in MN just closed today, so watching you golf on beautiful tracks keeps me going through our brutal winters! Keep up the good/fun work!

[@jakesgotgames1391]

I’m lucky enough I get to play cascata just about every year and I’ve been trying to get one of the golf you tubers to play it for the last few years so happy one of my favorites finally did!!

I really like this kind of video . Amazing all the courses you are showing to us . Keep up ! Really enjoying it

[@seanmccarthy1135]

They are bighorn sheep. The cactus is called purple prickly pear. They yield a fruit called “tuna” which can be consumed in a variety of modes. The tuna offer loads of vitamin C and the native Americans used the plant to reduce inflammation. I harvest the tuna, boil them for twenty minutes, and strain the juice. Add cinnamon and honey for taste and you have a nice elixir which helps the joints.

[@ZacRadford]

Thanks so much for letting me know I had no idea!

Desert sheep are beautiful animals! And if that's a house, that's crazy. The metal framework, round shape and all the satellite towers make it hard to believe it's a house. But aside from that, great content Zac! You just put this course on a very long bucket list!

[@therubberquackr4158]

Been watching your content for a while now Zac, I used to play golf when I was in high school. Now I’m in college and just started playing again a few months ago. I play about 3-4 times a week and hit on the range about 4 times every week. I have improved my game so much in just a short time. I shoot in the low forty’s and an occasional high 30. Love watching your videos and your tips helped me a lot in fixing my swing and just getting better at the game in general. Keep up the good work. If you’re ever in Arkansas, I’ll have to come watch you play a round.

[@mellow_swe9336]

Great vid as always! Favorite designer is hard, there's so many but I'd go for a couple of underrated ones: The late Mike Strantz (Tobacco Road) and Rob Collins (Sweetens Cove). Couple of guys designed a back 9 to Sweetens in the PGA2K21 video game and Rob Collins went on a live stream with them and discussed the design as well as the history of the course. Just a genuine guy and Sweetens Cove is def on my bucket list!

[@ZacRadford]

Sweetens Cove is such a fun track!!

We call that area on view from 3 a dry lake although it's really just a low point in the valley where the rain water collects. Lots of people do off roading and stuff out there. I taught my daughter how to drive there 🤣 Love Pete Dye! Prickly pear cactus 🌵 Great vlog. Was surprised you didn’t spend more time showing the creek that runs through the clubhouse. Can't wait to see how you do on the back nine.

I haven't played very many of the big-name course designers, but of the ones I've played I think Pete Dye is my favorite. The only Rees Jones course I've played was Rio Secco, which I think is kind of a sister course to Cascata. I really enjoyed it.

[@ZacRadford]

I love Pete dye as a designer!

wow, cool rock! haha Anyway, Donald Ross fan. Lotta those around here. Grew up caddying on one...my home course was another one, and before I even realized what golf course design was, I fell in love with his style.
