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 👊
Really wish i could of joined you on this trip!!! Next time!
Next time for sure sirrrrrrr
Te Arai is my favorite of the New Zealand courses. All are special, incredible, but it's the look of the course itself, something about it that makes it my favorite. Views at all the courses are second to none. Keep it up. Love what you're doing, watching here from Greenville, South Carolina
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
These style of vlogs are my favorite, good to see this straight up golf and analysis the whole way through.
Beautiful course and great playing !!
Much love 👊
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... :)
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!
Good to see you enjoying our amazing courses mate!
New Zealand is absolutely incredible!!
Continues to do some of the BEST golf videos on TH-cam. Thanks for the entertainment Zac.
Much love 👊
Nicely done, Zac. And good luck at the GG Open 🍀
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.
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?
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 👊
THE best looking course and incredible camera angles! Absolutely stunning. Nice work, Zac! Looking forward to more.
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!!
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!
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!!
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!!
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)
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 👊
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
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!
@10:54 I don’t know who I envy more Zac playing at this course or the person/people on that boat😂🤙🏾
😂👊
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
Awesome coverage! Thanks for visiting Nz. Cracking golf swing
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 😅
Unreal golf and location. Thanks for bringing these to us Zac :)
Good luck at the GG Championship.
The views, the trees and the golf. Good Stuff Zac
Much love 👊
Amazing course with fantastic views. Thanks for sharing Great job capturing the course
Fabulous video. I thoroughly enjoyed this one. What a view. Trundle counter may need to remain as a permanent fixture! Rock on
absolutely amazing series! Keep up the good work, tee it high, and, of course, let it flyyyyy
So awesome to hear you 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! 💯
All these courses you have been to lately have blown my mind. Now they are on my bucket list for sure. Jealous!
Breath taking course!😊 Love the ghost golf bag Zac. 😊
Lessssss gooooo
Great stuff, Zac! Well-played, and maybe your best series yet.
Thanks so much and awesome to hear you are enjoying 👊
Best camera and edit ever always beautiful golf . Loved all after you played Cape Kidnappers I went and played it on the simulator
What a beautiful course and you deserved this awesome performance. Zac in beast mode. Awesome 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
Much love my man 👊
Beautiful course and great playing. Similar to some of my favorite courses that have fairly open fairways and tough green complexes.
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!
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!!
Love the series! Spent my honeymoon in new Zealand and its such an amazing place!!!!
It really is such an incredible place!!
That was one of the cleanest rounds of golf I've seen in a long time! Nicely done. :)
That's a stunning course. Well played!
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!
We have Kinloch Jack Nicholas course just down the road and it was #1 in NZ. A truly awesome course!
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.“
Course looks awesome and the views are amazing!! The course has some serious undulation and elevation!!🏌♂⛳ So far this is my favorite!!
Lessssss goooooo
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 👍👍👍
The putt on 10.. the shot view makes it look like a simulations haha gorgeous course
Wow what an epic course, and the golf wasn’t too shabby either Zac! 👍🏻
What a place! Will be in Queenstown caddying at NZ Open soon, will try and play Jacks Point!
Just discovered your channel. Nice round! Liked and subscribed
Thanks so much and welcome to the channel 👊
My favorite TH-cam golf swing, so effortless!
Much love 👊
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 .
I wanna golf in New Zealand now! That course looks like an absolute joy.
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!
Thank you so very much!!
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
Love to see the Seemore back in the bag.
Lessssss gooooo
Absolutely love your videos man ❤ this one I enjoyed the most so far
Beautiful course cool to watch you play this course 😊
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!!
Man, does it get any better? So epic
I’m not sure if it does!!
Epic course and epic round!
Lessssss gooooo
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
Hopefully you get good weather at Kauri Cliffs because the scenery is breath taking!!!
I couldn’t have asked for better weather at every course!
What a beautiful place nice job zac.
It sure was and thanks so much$
they all been good. pretty awesome to get -4 on a course you have never played before.
The game was feeling good that day!
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!
Another awesome video can’t wait for the last video at kauri cliffs another amazing course with epic views
Epic veiws. Thx Zac. Just what the Dr. Ordered in winter living in northeast Ohio. Needed it. Got it
Wow, what an amazing place. Thanks for filming that.
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)
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!
Really wish you linked up with taco golf, would’ve been a fun match to watch
Next time I will have to link up with him!
Mate it seems you're taking the sun with you wherever you play. Can you just pop to Wellington for a couple of days, you don't even need to play golf but we would just like some summer.
I couldn’t have gotten better weather!
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!!
Think this is one of the most scenic course I ever seen wow
Such an epic course!
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.
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!
Thanks Zac - great video!
Much love 👊
Both at Te Arai are incredible. Shocking but Tara Iti nearby is even better!
Definitely want to get to Tara Iti someday!
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!
Love this video as straight into it
looks alot like Clear Creek here in Northern Nevada...also or Coore/Crenshaw
Then I definitely need to get to Clear Creek someday!
@@ZacRadford Beautful place. We are blessed here to have quite a few great courses within about an hour between Reno and Lake Tahoe
Great round brother 👏
Thanks so much!
What's your putter Zach? Centre shaft?
It’s a Seemore!
Please tell me you managed to get on to Tara It on this trip??
Unfortunately not this time
Great video. What time of year was this?
The course is so healthy, it looks like you're in a sim on some of those views.
The views were unreal!
I hope you get down to Gisborne and play our Awpuni links ( Poverty Bay Golf club ) a gem on the coast
Awesome views, lovely course.
Did you manage to try some of the local seafood and cultural food while here in nz??
Saw Zac out at Te Arai and i can confirm he does kick his ball into the fairways if he misses them. Good ball striker though.
How did you manage to get perfect days while in NZ and in my home region especially 😂
It’s the land of 4 seasons
I have no idea but I’m very thankful haha
