Just love the no-BS content. Straight to golf after the intro, no long cart cams etc. "Love to see it"!
This is how his channel started and blew up and I think it's his best format VS all the match play stuff. Just Z Rad and some pin slammers is all we need.
Great to have you here in NZ Zac ! Awesome to see some of the best courses we have to offer on both islands being played on TH-cam 🤙
Y’all have some absolutely incredible golf in NZ!!
Awesome to see. NZ golf wow 💪🏻👍🏻🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Incredible golf course and player, thanks from France.
Great round! That course is ridiculous...It almost looks fake its so beautiful. Well done.
It is indeed picture perfect. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Much love 👊
These style of vlogs are my favorite, good to see this straight up golf and analysis the whole way through.
THE best looking course and incredible camera angles! Absolutely stunning. Nice work, Zac! Looking forward to more.
You missed a "trundle" on 9th tee shot :) Number three looks almost a copy of another Coore Crenshaw design number 7 at Bandon Trails... Actually the off ocean holes are very similar to the Trails vibe! Great round could of been super low!
noticed the missed trundle as well,
@@dfwait14 The nerve of some YT golfers pfftt... :)
My favorite course so far is Te Aria Links. Cape Kidnappers was leading, but something about the views and the layout of the course looked great to me. I enjoy a little freedom off the tee and interesting green complexes. New Zealand is moving up the list of bucket list trips!
It’s been an unreal trip that is for sure!!
CK back nine is awesome in good weather but the first nine is pretty average. I prefer Kinloch Jack Nicholas
Nicely done, Zac. And good luck at the GG Open 🍀
Love your channel, Zac! I’ve been pimpin your content to Nate Edwardson - your AUS and New Zealand content is top notch and a must watch. Respect, bro!
Much love 👊
Absolutely love your videos man ❤ this one I enjoyed the most so far
What a stunning golf course! Your round was so solid! You just looked so confident from hole 1 to hole 18! Very impressive!
I was just thinking half way through this video, how I would love to play this course, then I looked at the green fees! Gulp! You are one lucky man!
This course at Te Arai is my favorite of the courses you've played. I love the wide fairways, I need that forgiveness of the tee for sure.
Great job!
absolutely amazing series! Keep up the good work, tee it high, and, of course, let it flyyyyy
So awesome to hear you enjoyed 👊
Beautiful course and great playing !!
Much love 👊
@10:54 I don’t know who I envy more Zac playing at this course or the person/people on that boat😂🤙🏾
😂👊
That was one of the cleanest rounds of golf I've seen in a long time! Nicely done. :)
Let’s Go!! Zac is good because no matter if he’s playing good or not, he always keeps a mellow attitude. Not to mention the views on the course are always cool to see. Good luck in Arizona in a couple weeks, looking forward to watching !
Much love 👊
@zacradford will you do a 18 hole vlog at Robert Trent Jones the judge course in Prattville Al soon?
@@samlevy9513Might be a great time to redo Ross Bridge also. They totally lost their greens and had to redo all of them I heard.
@@jacobmccain8082 yeah
What's up in Arizona? Is he trying to qualify into the WMPO?
Great stuff, Zac! Well-played, and maybe your best series yet.
Thanks so much and awesome to hear you are enjoying 👊
Awesome coverage! Thanks for visiting Nz. Cracking golf swing
Unreal golf and location. Thanks for bringing these to us Zac :)
Good luck at the GG Championship.
Amazing course with fantastic views. Thanks for sharing Great job capturing the course
Loved Jacks Point, due to playing it so many times myself and getting to see how you found it. but you are showcasing some of our best for sure
Amazing views, this is a bucket list course for me. Have played a couple in NZ (Jacks and Millbrook) but this one takes the cake.
I definitely want to get to Millbrook at some point!
Breath taking course!😊 Love the ghost golf bag Zac. 😊
Lessssss gooooo
Love this video as straight into it
What a beautiful course. Views stunning, and the fairways, amazing. Well played for your first time on the course. And just to be that person, as soon as you hit that last putt on 18, I knew you were too low. I would have been aiming for the middle of the highest hump. But again, great score on a brilliant course.
Such a fun round that is for sure!
Love the series! Spent my honeymoon in new Zealand and its such an amazing place!!!!
It really is such an incredible place!!
That's a stunning course. Well played!
Have been to NZ twice but never got to play any golf. It's absolutely one of my favourite destinations in the world. Favourite course so far has to be this one. Cape Kidnappers looks spectacular from drone footage but seems to be much less so when you're down on the fairways playing it.
Such an unreal place!!
Only on the first hole, but wow what an amazing course! The contrast between green and blue in this video is incredible
The views were incredible!!
All these courses you have been to lately have blown my mind. Now they are on my bucket list for sure. Jealous!
Played this course a few times now. You played it to perfection. Great club selection for your first time. It’s hard not to get distracted 😅
1. Can't pick which N.Z. course is the best. I sincerely love all of them.
2. I noticed that there aren't any golf cart paths. It's a walkers' course.
3. Those views along the beach with the trees are amazing, distracting..lol
4. Topography of the course is incredible
5. I wonder how you played your best on a course with a TRUNDLERS sign on it. LOL
(I'm envious....can't wait to watch the final video)
Love it brother. So dope you got to play in our beautiful country champ. Keep doing your thing bro. Keep up that awesome consistency bras. All the best for 2024 lesssskooooo
The views, the trees and the golf. Good Stuff Zac
Much love 👊
Beautiful course and great playing. Similar to some of my favorite courses that have fairly open fairways and tough green complexes.
Continues to do some of the BEST golf videos on TH-cam. Thanks for the entertainment Zac.
Much love 👊
In my early late teens to20's I used to surf at Te Arai a lot. It was quite isolated there; just the beach, sand dunes and pine forests. My friends and I would surf all day then make a camp on the beach and drink half of the night, rinse off in the surf the next and repeat. Such a beautiful place. To put a golf course there is unreal. A lot of money was poured into Te Arai Links to make it possible, especially for the water!!! Thanks for the video mate.
If you're ever in Auckland again, I'll shout you a round at North Shore club. Not as good as the other clubs you have played at but not too bad either.
Fabulous video. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. What a view. Trundle counter may need to remain as a permanent fixture! Rock on
What a beautiful course and you deserved this awesome performance. Zac in beast mode. Awesome 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Much love my man 👊
Epic course and epic round!
Lessssss gooooo
Best camera and edit ever always beautiful golf . Loved all after you played Cape Kidnappers I went and played it on the simulator
You are living the life Zac. I’m sure I don’t have to tell you to enjoy the moment! 🙏🏻
Definitely thankful that is for sure!!
Love to see the Seemore back in the bag.
Lessssss gooooo
Wow! Honestly, the view from the 4th tee is, IMO, the best "view" I've seen yet. Anywhere! Absolutely incredible!!!!! Had to pause the vid to say that as I saw it. I'm so jealous, Zac 😊
So thankful to get to tee it up here that is for sure!
Ah NZ my home, I miss her dearly, but I’ll have to settle with my local Parklands course here in Ireland for now!! Can’t say I’ve played any of those courses you’ve played, but i have played a fair few in the Wellington region ( which is where I’m from.) cheers for sharing! Ka Pai!!
Wow what an epic course, and the golf wasn’t too shabby either Zac! 👍🏻
Beautiful course. Think Cape Kidnappers is still my fave out of the first 3 NZ courses though. While I love the layout and the play with the dunes and oceanside (almost a bit of a Kiawah feel in places perhaps?), there were a couple fairways that looked wide enough that a person would almost have to make a conscious effort to miss them and that tips me toward CK's more unrelenting nature (but, like Kidnappers, it looks like you got a really friendly wind day here again as I would imagine there'd typically be more of a breeze coming off the ocean)
There are things about each course that I have really enjoyed!
That Pin Slammer robbery on 15 was just criminal 🤦🏽♂️☠️ great recoveries the whole round.
This course was my favorite so far. Super unique landscape, lots of OB. Fairway finders were mandatory and you had them all day long.
Well done sir! 💯
My favorite TH-cam golf swing, so effortless!
Much love 👊
Sadly this is the only way I can see the sun these days it seems but wow.....what a golf course, what a setting and going sub 70 never looked so easy. Well played Zac.
I hope Spring comes early for you 👊
What a place! Will be in Queenstown caddying at NZ Open soon, will try and play Jacks Point!
Beautiful course cool to watch you play this course 😊
Zac, Wow, golf was pretty epic, the views were up their level with the game, personally my favourite course I’ve seen you play, (wish I was their m8) just awesome content, dreamy views and the BEST course 👍👍👍
Good to see you enjoying our amazing courses mate!
New Zealand is absolutely incredible!!
What a beautiful place nice job zac.
It sure was and thanks so much$
Always love your content Zac! As a fellow Nashvillian, I hope to get paired up with you sometime. PS the Trundle counter was hilarious, but maybe it’s time for a “you love to see it counter.“
Awesome views, lovely course.
I wanna golf in New Zealand now! That course looks like an absolute joy.
Wow, what an amazing place. Thanks for filming that.
Epic veiws. Thx Zac. Just what the Dr. Ordered in winter living in northeast Ohio. Needed it. Got it
Awesome series so far Zac. Couldn't pick a favourite course - they all look amazing. Been a pleasure to watch!
So awesome to hear you have enjoyed!
So good to get this course on a calm day! I played it in a gusty breeze! Great course though
So thankful for good weather!
Nice work Zak. As a kiwi living in the UK you really did pick some amazing courses back home. This one is on the bucket list when I am back home. By the way Te Arai is pronounced T-R-RE
Thanks Zac - great video!
Much love 👊
The putt on 10.. the shot view makes it look like a simulations haha gorgeous course
Beautiful course - somewhat reminded me of Kingsbarnes (except you were a bit luckier with the NZ weather!)
Definitely thankful with the weather that is for sure!
Another awesome video can’t wait for the last video at kauri cliffs another amazing course with epic views
This is the most stunning golf video I have ever seen, amazing player and cinematographer. Absolutely love every angle, I can tell you take a great amount of time before u hit record. What camera are you using and tripod ?? (Difficult terrain)
We have Kinloch Jack Nicholas course just down the road and it was #1 in NZ. A truly awesome course!
Hi Zac great to see you in NZ , would love to see you play some local courses in the S island , come to Dunedin you will love it .
All these courses are lit 🔥
Lessssss goooo
Yea boy! Kiwi here, love my homeland!!!
Great camera work and nicely played. Could you say which camera (s) are in use. Thanks.
Much love and I was using the Sony FX3!
@@ZacRadford Thanks. It's crystal clear.
Pulling my wedges and driver has to be the most frustrating thing especially after a round where your flushing every shot. Also crazy how much that part of New Zealand looks like Edgewood Lake Tahoe
Active melody for the best blues styles ❤
Such an unreal place!
I think the 'Trundle Counter' was short by at least 1 🤣
yup!!!
It might have been 🤦♂️
Definitely can tell some similarities to many holes that Coore/Crenshaw did at the various Bandon Dunes courses.
I need to get to Brandon sometime!!
they all been good. pretty awesome to get -4 on a course you have never played before.
The game was feeling good that day!
When are you coming to Northern Ireland? Royal Portrush! Or royal county Down! The exact opposite side of the earth from New Zealand 😊
I can’t wait to make that trip happen!!
Beautiful course
Great video. What time of year was this?
Appreciate the gentler pin slams😊
Absolutely 👊
Great to see a course in New Zealand. I don't think I've ever seen a golf vid in NZ before. BTW you missed one trundle you said on your counter 😅
Tacogolf , our own Kiwi TH-camr
Can't wait for Kauri Cliffs!
Next on the list!!
Hey Zac did you book all this yourself or have some sort of golf tour site organise it? Just wondering as planning a trip there.. Courses look crazy great videos mate
I planned, scheduled and booked everything myself. I highly recommend a trip to NZ!
Man, does it get any better? So epic
I’m not sure if it does!!
Just discovered your channel. Nice round! Liked and subscribed
Thanks so much and welcome to the channel 👊
The only clubs Zac played on this course are driver and irons. ..Mostly irons. He did not use a single fairway wood! Great game on a great course!
Hot take, looks more beautiful, and definitely more fun to play than Cape Kidnappers.
Both incredible but this one does have something special about it!
Great playing.
Thanks so much 👊
course looks unbelievable
It sure was!!
Great round brother 👏
Thanks so much!
Really wish i could of joined you on this trip!!! Next time!
Next time for sure sirrrrrrr
Let's freaking go
Lesssssss goooooo
Great round!!!
Thanks so much!
@@ZacRadford big fan been following you since you had like 7k followers or something
Think this is one of the most scenic course I ever seen wow
Such an epic course!
Trundle dez nuts
Both at Te Arai are incredible. Shocking but Tara Iti nearby is even better!
Definitely want to get to Tara Iti someday!
Tara Iti next?! The concentration of those two courses right next to each other is probably the best in the world.
Unfortunately I didn’t get there on this trip but hopefully next time!
Spent a little time in NZ but didn't golf. Looks like I should have!!! Wow!!
You definitely need to someday!
