I Explored Florida’s MOST Dangerous Golf Course

In Today's video we play a Florida golf course unlike any other - Black Diamond Ranch. This golf course is built around a quarry, where limestone used to be mined, and it is breathtaking to say the least. Today I see if I can break 72, and shoot under par for the first time in a while. I hope you enjoy!

Never seen any course like this in Florida!

[@joshjones5455]

Looks beautiful I was down in Florida a week ago and played a course in Gulf Breeze called Tiger Point really enjoyed it and am looking forward to play some more courses in Florida in the future

[@ToddM71]

It’s private. I was invited to play there years ago for a charity event. It’s a very beautiful and difficult course

[@JimN109]

Reminds me of Sandy Lane in Barbados. Check it out. That would make an awesome video…

I enjoy the single player videos now and again! No gimmicks, just golf and review!

Black Diamond is so beautiful. That’s the spot yo get the pool side bungalow for the lady and golf all weekend. They do bass fishing tours, archery range. It’s so nice

I dont know what Coles responsibilities outside of assistant professional are at this course, but his level of customer service goes a long way to demonstrating the welcome you might expect. Great video, and Cole you are clearly a star.

[@CodyWi]

That’s the job of the Assistant pro. You wanna move up and make a name provide a customer service above and beyond.

[@swift1y]

Don't let the bad days get to you! I'm just finding the feel again after a bad car accident last year. Thought I'd never play at the same level but I can feel it coming back round by round. Every time I play I write down three things I did well that day and it's great to look back on for motivation. Gratitude and positivity will carry you through. Love ya Grant.

[@zamboughnuts]

The day I need an under par round to get "back on track" is a dream day for me.

[@allanbrooks3060]

You remind me of me 50 years ago. Was a 1 handicap, for high school and college golf teams

[@KA-dm9lm]

That’s great advice. I saw a video with Tommy fleetwood saying that’s what his dad used to tell him when he was younger after a round. I’m paraphrasing but something like “golf is hard, at the end of each round just walk away remembering your 3 best shots. Take stock of those and create a positive mindset”. Something like that. As a beginner golfer, that’s what I try to do and it helps immensely.

[@KA-dm9lm]

Oh and glad you’re feeling better and recovering from your accident. That sounds terrible. All the best man

[@chrissnape9537]

22 years of rugby has caught up to me. I have some severe arthritis. Like you I will never be back to a 6 but I am improving. Writing down 3 things that were good in my game will help in consistency. If I write something down I remember it. I can see it will help my confidence. I am glad I read your post. Cheers and Good Luck 😊

[@tx52dave]

It's very rare that I watch a 50 plus minute video start to end without fast forwarding at some point. This was an easy watch, well done. The solo content is great. You should do that every month or two. The excitement and pure joy from you were great to see.

[@BrianH020]

Grant, please check out Rock Harbor in Winchester, VA. 36 holes, two very distinct courses built next to an active quarry, with large formations all over the place! And they tip out at over 7500 yards!! A couple par 3s that I guarantee are at least 4-5 clubs downhill! Pics on their website...

[@zamboughnuts]

I need to check that out sometime.

[@Bubba.Fitness]

I'm also super excited to see if you start cleaning your grooves before/after some of your shots

[@MattyK-USA]

Okay, the production values here have gone OFF the CHAIN!!! Just ridiculous, in all the right ways 🔥🔥

[@humanyoutuber]

When you talked about not remembering your swing thought anymore from the GoodGood cup that resonated with me. I had that happen a few times in collegiate golf and told myself I’d never forget again. My swing thoughts change every few months but it’s always only one thought. If I have a day or a round where golf feels easy and my swing is firing on all cylinders I go to voice memos on my phone and talk about everything I did that day. Where it was in my hands, my stance, my swing thought, where pressure felt in my feet. I talk through every possible variable so that I can fall back on it

[@finn_mellander]

Cole sounds like a absolute legend

[@KristianYeager]

I love the thought of playing golf and not golf swing! Sometimes I can get too focused on the swing as well and not just let it happen!

[@dronepocket325]

Even better course 30 minutes north of there. Juliette Falls is the real hidden gem in this part of Florida. Best semi private course in Florida period

[@directoppositeent]

How long has Juliette falls been there? I've never heard of it, I've played World Woods, Golden Ocala, and always wanted to play black diamond but never heard of Juliette.

[@bobgomez9249]

Thank you Grant for sharing the details about your current golf game woes, I have been in the same boat for about 2 weeks now (worst scores in the last 2-3 years) and it feels good to know that you are not alone. I can feel the scores and the swings coming back though, we're pulling through. We just have to go for the safer vs super aggressive strategies until we get our confidence back. Hang in there and break through, I believe in you, we all do.

[@Skeeta56]

Thanks for taking us along with you to a “New” place! The solo Round was a nice respite from Wesley’s constant jabbering. You’ve two special folks in Sadie and Sky . . . always like seeing them in the videos. When you go back to the UK, hook up with Peter, Rick and Iona for a 2v2 Round to make my KZbin Perfect 4some.

[@Spidey1015]

Brooksville CC, pretty near Cabot Citrus Farms, has a stretch of quarry holes as well. More of a muni course, but another rare place with some elevation changes.

[@sinneah]

Perhaps some constructive criticism concerning the editing style. There are a lot of unnecessary cuts IMO. Especially noticable in the cart. When you talk it often cuts to the next sentence and from the surroundings its clear you have barely moved maybe saving 1 second? I suspect its to shorten the video a bit or to keep attention for the tiktok generation. For me its mostly a jarring viewing experience and totallly not in line with your personality (easy going/relaxing). It is imo OK just let it roll every now and then even if you dont say anything for a second or two. It is also ok to not have something interesting to say after every shot or hole. Just leave it out and let the golf and golf course speak for itself or maybe some B-Roll.

I didn’t have the best relationship with my dad when I was younger, I’m sure because of my own issues, but as I got older we got closer. Im 44 now and my dad is 76. The time goes fast.
