Inside Iowa State's INSANE Golf Facility

[@JoshMayerGolf]

Huge shoutout to Iowa State for having me out! One of the coolest properties on the planet. Hit that subscribe button if you enjoyed. Appreciate yall watching!

[@Judd-ww8zl]

My fam donated a bunch for that facility

[@ntfilloon]

I worked as the asst. superintendent out there! Beautiful facility and well thought out.

[@vwjet2001]

Wasn't really covered, but what I thought was cool is that the outdoor grounds double as a practice facility for the horticulture/turfgrass management department. So maintained essentially by those students.

[@Hangtime37]

This is INSANE! I wanna go play here. I loved the ending.

[@VincePolevault]

Your favorite part is the part where he said he loves you? lol

[@turtlezixx]

Iowa State also owns and runs Veenker golf course in Ames!

[@dickgrason2688]

I work there. It’s a pretty difficult but fun course to play

[@bradyanderson7169]

Have to play the harvester. Such a beautiful course!

[@3amuel142]

I live a mile down the road from here. You can’t see anything past the clubhouse from the road. Always wondered what it looked like thank you!😅

[@perryhelmer7236]

Video was amazing! my 10 year old and i watched it together and now he want to go there... Hahaha could you try to do Bama or even Auburn?

[@kylestrozinsky8497]

Sick facility. CBA

[@CalZone9]

Roll Clones!

[@ericknopik2852]

This is awesome! I wish this was my backyard!

[@kevinjager124]

Wow, what an incredible place as long as the student has the mindset to make use of it

[@willms7350]

This is incredible! I am a "clone alum and my best friend's dad Dale Anderson was the coach there until '97. Wow it would have been cool to have these facilitites then!

[@ericdavison9432]

I drive by here every time I go to Ames and never knew what it was. Very cool!

[@rockman221]

Love all the content that you're putting out :) This was a fun one with a great ending! Recording with a single cameraperson is tough and you're making it happen!! Wish there was a little more stability to any moving shots; get a little motion sick sometimes with the lack of steadiness at times

[@tannerthomason1944]

Drive by it once a week doing granite and it doesn't look like it holds all this from the road 😲😳

[@yeoldawesome]

I go to isu and I never even knew this existed 😭

[@linjustin7270]

You should come to Liberty University in Lynchburg, VA. We're building an on-campus course close to 8000 yards and a private practice facility

[@ZachVeiseth]

Let’s go Cyclones!❤❤ I am going to go try hard in golf just to play there

[@milner-music9888]

Love these type videos!

[@JoshMayerGolf]

Love you more

[@robertgrippo0211]

You should cover fiddlers elbow where seton hall plays.

[@ClassOf2027VA]

Off topic, can you do another beginner to par video? I loved all the ups and downs and its one of my favorite golf videos

[@Bennywaller5]

Both teams also can play The Harvester the best cc in Iowa and very exclusive

[@peterrod16]

That was amazing.

[@Jeebizz101]

How does their team rank in college golf? Im not from America and have no idea how many colleges have facilities like this but I imagine they are the best or somewhere close to it judging by this place

[@jordanjohnson4752]

So UT is largest and Iowa St is most insane. Gotcha

[@brozark1873]

This video makes me want to re watched the strapped series on NLU

[@rtv3815r]

Tossed in a Like cause I already knew this would be quality

[@JoshMayerGolf]

my guy! appreciate you

[@NotRealCole]

So that's where my tuition went... just kidding this is super cool!

[@zachalyea8318]

Do the university of Texas next I went there for camp and it was an insane practice facility and course

[@willbogey3]

i live in ames, this is cool. did you play any courses in the area?

[@Gookin52]

Man, you need to find a way to design the craziest 18 holes in that setup and play it for us

[@Lord7979]

That is sickkkk

[@michaelplantarich3375]

What an insane facility. I know a ton of college football teams have similar, if not better facilities (looking at "the" Ohio State lol), but the fact that golf performance is also taken into account is insane. Id easily pay a few thousand for an hour or 2 at that facility, assuming i had a few thousand

[@golfrep2584]

Only issue is it's in Iowa and it's a short golf season there

[@jtothac5364]

That’s not really true the last few years. I live here and our course opening 2nd week of February was open through new years weekend. I’ve played 150 rounds this year already.

[@gpaine]

Such a cool setup! It blows my mind that college D1 golfers can have access to such facilities, but KornFerry Tour guys can barely make a living. What I'm learning is that i should have focused harder on golf in highschool. 😂

[@JoshMayerGolf]

😂 an absolute dream to have access to this facility every day

[@moskowizzle]

I'm 40. Is it too late for me to go back to college and also get good at golf?

[@davemis40]

Incredible

[@CameronRock]

I like the Greyson hat

[@JoshMayerGolf]

Appreciate you brother!

[@CameronRock]

@@JoshMayerGolf my cousins uncle owns Greyson

[@TannerCobb-b1m]

Awesome video

[@JoshMayerGolf]

Appreciate you!

[@TannerCobb-b1m]

U welcome

[@3nCounting]

Iowa has rich soil so everything looks lush. It's the Heartland. I don't agree with the statement "if you can putt, chip and pitch here, you can putt, chip and pitch anywhere" because there's no one that learns their short game on northern regions Bent, Fescue or Kentucky Blue that can transition to different types Bermuda from the south without major problems.

[@bryjasman6348]

So thats why I suck golfing in iowa

[@syedabdussubhan786]

hi josh mayer golf do you need thumbnail designer?

[@Just_Joshing024]

Where in the world is this golf course in ames? I see venkeer right outside my window and 2 others on google Maps, but that's it.

[@tylerljohnson]

Look near the south end of the runways at the airport along Hwy 69. If you get to Timber Creek Dr, you went too far south.

[@Maggiemayer4]

Eleven 🤝 Iowa State Golf

[@Roxros]

As an Iowan. I have to say I’m an Iowan

[@marcusdondorff9452]

Have you not seen Alabama??

[@fudhater8592]

Unless the satellite photos are old, Alabama's facility looks like a joke compared to this

[@aidannigh2673]

i’m from iowa around iowa state and don’t know where this is lol

[@AbdulRahim-cu7y]

Hey Josh! are you looking to add a new editor to your team? I’d love to join.

[@claystravers]

ROLL CLONES!

[@jimmyward7038]

Bamas facility will top it.

[@JohnathanBouska]

I got to job shadow the head men’s coach and went out there and the place is sick

[@JoshMayerGolf]

So sick. Everything in me not to grab a club and start practicing

[@colinimhoff4884]

Roll clones!!!

[@unclejim2330]

Wow, very nice. 👍

[@JoshMayerGolf]

Appreciate you uncle Jim!

[@tommyfraz.]

I miss the “worst courses in x state” videos.

[@sportygoodtimes]

Canned Gatorade >>>>

[@JoshMayerGolf]

Tried to get coach to shotgun with me

[@Left-Foot-Brake]

Like... if I was a kid who couldn't afford to go to college, or smart enough to win a scholarship, seeing this facility would probably make me quit any aspirations of playing competitive golf.

[@eggnogfitness]

roll clones

[@robleavell7982]

As an Iowa Hawkeye, it hurt me to like this video

[@JoshMayerGolf]

Proud of you

[@ogtitan9727]

Full Chub. WOW.

[@diabolicalmemecat]

nah even josh mayer is getting bots in his comments. :(

[@JoshMayerGolf]

Hate to see it 😩

[@TioVar2023]

Damn!

[@hosoiarchives4858]

Facility word count

[@spranzini29]

Wow how lucky are these kids! They definitely put the work in to get there though so not much luck

[@hannahdong7155]

Unfortunately, only student athletes can play here, normal ISU students can't enjoy this facility

[@stevebryan5779]

WOW

[@Psychic.Octopus]

Imagine if colleges cared this much about actual educations

[@jtothac5364]

Instead of indoctrination

[@Woltz2]

At Iowa state they do, they put lots of money into the education programs resulting in some of the best programs in the country. The students actually grow the turfgrass used on the football field every year which is pretty cool!

[@reidr7288]

@@Woltz2my cousin is doing turf grass science at a different university. I assume they do something with this facility

[@chadhuseman5364]

The Iowa state athletic department brings in over 100 million dollars in revenue a year and is in central Iowa you can buy a lot in Iowa with 100 mil and the academic departments receive a lot of money through federal grant do to their research which includes the only department of energy facility located on a college campus in the county so I’m gonna go ahead and say the university is doing just fine

[@Psychic.Octopus]

@chadhuseman5364 Amazing response. No ordinary chad could have better illustrated my point.

[@jerryq1000]

It wouldn't allow me to share to FB because it's been reported as being "abusive"...really???? Must be a lot of jealous Hawkeyes...

[@JoshMayerGolf]

Seriously?

[@joeycouch3179]

Do you pay a dime at all at the facilities when you do these videos ?

[@Adam-o9v6w]

Obviously haven't been to Tuscaloosa..... this is trash bag compared to Bama's

[@lukerundle1312]

Please reply

[@JoshMayerGolf]

Sup Luke

[@cyrulez9373]

Glad the tuition increase for “mental health services” went to good use

[@mcclure.declan]

early

[@timmyterwillger2257]

Taxpayer money. Shameful. And I played college golf.

[@tylerljohnson]

False. The athletic department does not receive any state or university funds. Its revenue comes from a several places: including ticket sales, corporate sponsorships, donor contributions, and conference and the NCAA. The department's budget is financed through private giving and the athletic department itself.

[@kevinjager124]

Wow, what an incredible place as long as the student has the mindset to make use of it
