lol. About 20 years ago my buddy moved into a new house with a big L shaped back yard. We made a par 4 in his yard. There was a pine tree at the bottom of the L shape blocking the direct shot to the green that we made. Therefore we had to lay up then hit the second shot to the green. Everything pitching wedge. lol. The green was only 5ft by 5ft. We made the green by lowering the blades on the lawn mower to their lowest point. We then dug a hole and put a plastic drinking cup in it. We spent plenty of afternoons drinking and playing a faux round of golf. Even betting. lol. Total cost to build was zero dollars. Total fun was tremendous! Enjoy your better version. We had tons of fun with ours.
Lol there is no free lunch opportunity cost .
Awesome partner
@@nisch2379 You're not really a big thinker, are ya?
This is awesome! Currently 21 and work at a golf course on the grounds crew. This is definitely a dream of mine later in life. Love what you’re doing.
Appreciate it, keep grinding old bud!
Good luck to you, young man. Just make sure you wash down after you get off the course, and don't put anything near your face that's come in contact with the grass. Most pro golfers and superintendents suffer from debilitating illnesses due to extended exposure to pesticides, or worse such as cancer.
Great video! I built 6 small bent grass greens in my very hilly back yard, added sand traps and turned it into an 18-hole putter only golf course.
Bottom line: if you don’t have a ton of property and money then live vicariously through Spud Run Golf and if you have to have a green get a synthetic for about $10,000 and have little to no maintenance for 10 years. This is from somebody who is speaking from experience. I’ve tried to grow a green for 2 years now and there is ALWAYS something going wrong. Herbicides, fungicides, insecticides, fertilizer, drought, mower maintenance, etc etc etc. and that’s AFTER you do all the work of installing the green. I keep doing it because I actually enjoy doing the work but most people think I’m crazy…..including my wife. Great content as always, keep making the videos!
I enjoy working on the thing more than playing on it. My friends say I’m crazy too! Haha
Yeah that's all I kept thinking about was the 10-year Outlook fees. The startup doesn't sound so bad. You're right about having the passion is a crucial part to jumping over the NeverEnding hurdles that come your way. For now I'll stick to just playing the nice courses and appreciating all the hard work that the grounds crew puts in.
Fantastic video. It's something I always wondered about. I could see myself spending all day, every day on my private golf facility. And it's cheaper than a new car. Well worth it!
Im closing in on 30 years old and you have given me ideas and a future dream. Thank you! Excited to see future videos!
It was a major dream come true for me too. You got this man!
I’m impressed. Congratulations. I hope you inspired someone else to pursue their dreams. I don’t know you but I’m extremely happy to hear your story. Blessings.
Very much appreciated partner.
Absolutely love it. What a great detailed video to show folks what’s involved with building this. We have a baseball complex southwestern Ohio north of Cincinnati. Drain tile, irrigation, and moving tons of dirt last couple years. Much more work ahead. Great job and keep that dream alive
Sometimes people don’t realize the underground infrastructure. Thanks for watching.
Your living my dream brother , If there's one thing I love is to practice hitting golf shots great job I'll be keeping track thanks .
For a few years I been searching for a video like this to see how much a full size hole would cost. Glad I found you. I'll keep up with the channel to see how you progress.
Thanks Mark.
That is such a great idea. I'd like to see how you could add a water obstacle in front of the tee box. I will definitely be keeping up with your videos. Thank you for all my ideas in my head now.
Wow, this is amazing! I love to see you doing this…as a fellow Ohioan, I’d love to see it sometime. Keep it up!
I worked on golf courses for 35 years, studied Turfgrass Management at NC STATE, very impressed by what this did, very thorough!!
That means a lot, thanks David.
Glad this popped up in my feed. I’m watching. Thanks
You are my hero. Love this project. Keep it going !
Absolutely brilliant 👏👌
I live on The West Coast of Scotland and have a spare bit of land with a stream running through it.. This has inspired me to turn it into a putting green.
Many thanks Andrew
Absolutely fantastic.
Love the video. Lived in Columbus all my life recently retired to Florida play golf 3 days a week. Can’t wait to watch your progress
I’m jealous Steve!
You are living my dream. Keep up the great content.
Good for you sir.... you nailed it right on the head when you said " all my buddies are out buying Harleys and side by sides etc... so in the grand scheme of things.. you come out WAY ahead... Kuddos..
That’s what I’m thinking!
Couldn’t agree more.
This is really cool, I would love to have something like this. I suspect you’ll run out of tee options, but you could easily place another green to the left with a couple of bunkers or a creek running between them that feeds a pond.
No doubt! I have several options for future growth. The problem right now is limited time to do more improvements. Thanks for watching.
must say, im impressed by how well done this video was made
Thanks man, I feel like I’ve got a lot of improving to do.
That is so cool man. You are living like a king!
This is awesome, I've always wanted just a nice putting green at my home. Seeing you do this it is good great. I hope to see you hit a few balls on this green. I wish you the best, it's always good to see this going on
We have some videos now of actual play on the hole.
This is amazing! Great work man.
There’s a house between Pine Island and Warwick, New York that has a breathtaking par 3 course in his front yard. Used to pass it on my way to baseball practice 15 years ago. Haven’t passed it since but I believe it is still there and maintained.
This is awesome. The transparency is absolutely great. Keep it up
Thanks for tuning in Matt!
Build tee boxes and greens on each side and use the same fairway. 9 tee boxes on each side and you have yourself 18 “holes” in your own backyard. His way you don’t have to walk back to play more. Can just play in a loop. I’ve had this idea since I was little. Maybe someday 🤔 great work!
I've never seen this channel before but that title stole my heart
Looks like you're off to a good start there! Nice job!
Hey spud Love this all the way from U.K,
I took a career change from being a barber and barber shop owner of 20 years, at the ripe old age of 39 to become a Greenkeeper at my local golf course because of my love and passion for golf spawned from lockdown, really interesting as a newcomer to find out info and see a project develop
That’s fantastic to hear. Thanks for tuning in, keep that passion alive!
Beautifully done!
This is really cool. I have a farm and live in Alaska right now, but we're planning on moving to Oklahoma next year. I've been toying with the idea of a putting/chipping green and a driving range. I'll have to check out more of your videos.
I love this guy!! This is how to spend money wisely!
so cool man keep it up hope your channel grows so you can build a full 18 holes
Just found your channel and just wanted to give you a big compliment on the content and the course!
Awesome, thanks. The channel has been growing very well in the last week.
I'm currently building a pitch & putt course in a cloud forest region in Costa Rica. Shooting some 60 - 70 yard shots sorrounded by highland forest is such a relaxing experience! Greetings from the tropics!
I say we do a switcharoo one weekend. You stay at my place while I stay at your place.
Best homemade green I've seen.
I would do a par 3 with teeboxes on 2 sites. With bunkers and stuff you can create several holes with one green!
Super cool video man, I'd love to have my own backyard golf hole. Looks great and looking forward to what's next man. Subbed and liked 👍👍
Appreciate it buddy
My neighbors and I talk about turning a section of my backyard into a putting green. When my kiddos get older and I can get rid of their play set, I may just do that! This is awesome of you to do! Much respect to you sir🤙🏽
It’s a lot of work, but it’s been very enjoyable to me. While at work during the day I can’t wait to get to my course to work on it, haha.
@@SpudRunGolf I’m not good at golf as I just started this summer(I’m 38). All my neighbors grew up golfing so they take me to courses. I love golf and always think about playing on the weekends. Now it’s winter so all we can do is the simulator, but that’s super expensive compared to playing on real courses. I’m going to get lessons because I have a huge slice, and don’t understand the club face open or closed ordeal🤦🏽♂️ I can’t wait to see more videos or your course, it’s amazing! AYO🤣
Very cool. Thank you for sharing.
Super cool project at Spud Run! I’d really enjoy seeing the tee box Locations and yardages!! 👍
Cheers!!
Check out this video. I have the yardages on each of the current tees.

Thank You Soooo Much 😊 I truly appreciate your help and experience. #Priceless
That's just a work of art there brother...I live up in Uniontown on the prestwick country club golf course...As a fellow ohioan my dream house consists of a piece of property very similar to yours...with 25years in as a pipe fitter along with general construction knowledge. After seeing what you been able accomplish you have real lit a fire under my imagination & drive to get the wheels turning in fulfilling said project...
BRAVO & Good luck. Looking foward to Seeing your Ideas on different tee box arrangements...
Love reading comments like this. I hope you can make something happen. Never hesitate to reach out to me with any questions.
Most definitely can respect this!!
This channel will be a great success. Keep going with the great content.
Thank you very much. The little channel has gained many view in the last few weeks.
That would be a really fun gig .I always have vision of places that could harbor a killer golf hole .
It’s super satisfying. I enjoy working on the daggone thing as much as playing, haha.
This is a dream for me but the problem isn’t making the hole. It’s being able to afford the house and amount of land first. It’s cool to see the process!
Great stuff brother. Looking forward to more videos.
Im trying to take advantage of the mild temperatures this week in order to bank some winter content. Thanks for watching.
My home course is currently added by an additional 12 holes. I’m hearing each hole is about $1million dollars. There’s a lot that goes into it! Awesome job!
I believe it.
Fantastic video, really broken down well
Cheers buddy. It'll be a while before I build my own golf hole/course but I will one day have one 💯👌🏼👍🏼👊🏼👊🏼
Get it done partner!
Absolutely awesome!!!! I love that Spud Run is in Ohio. O....H...!! Jealous as hell! I'm in Southern Ohio myself and think this is 10 X better than any rental home, Harley, bass boat, snow mobile etc. I can't believe I haven't heard of this project before now. So impressive!!! Hats off to Spud Run!! You'd be the best neighbor possible. 😁
I O! Where about a do you live? We are in Chilli.
That intro with the music 🔥
Keep at it!
Sometimes the music can be tough to pick out. Really glad you liked it!
One of my many jobs was a golf course mechanic. there I got to understand how astoundingly complex turf-management is in this capacity. they cut down the greens to 3/16 and 5/32! and it's flat as a board. try getting that on your lawn at home, you can't. it takes massive work to build the green and maintain it with specialized mowers to achieve that level. I always had to ride out and adjust those greens mowers so they would be accurate if they left lines on the grass. then you have all of the chemical and feed treatments, it's not for everyone and it's not as easy as some might imagine, no way. it will be very expensive but awesome to do. 🏁
Dude this is super Awesome great job been wanting to do the same .
Thanks Garrett!
Hope you let people play! That’s awesome!
Very cool thanks for sharing.
This is awesome!
Greens looking great..
lol - great video I play golf and never knew all that goes into the course, I live in the inner city so this could be something I could not do. I have to laugh, you mentioned you are a small channel with over 6K subs, I cracked 236 finally lol! looking forward to seeing the progress!!
Haha, in my defense, at the time of recording that episode I probably had less then 500 subs. Good luck on your channel. It’s taken me 1.5 year to crest 6k subs. Keep digging
great piece of property !
keep them coming!!!!!!
First comment,,, AWESOME BUD!
Love it. I'm from Scotland and have played golf all my life,. I've travelled much of Scotland playing and would absolutely love to design my own golf course. Unfortunately the cost of unable land in areas with a reasonable climate here is well outwith my budget. I reckon the only way I could afford to do it is to move to the USA 🇺🇸 and buy me a 150 acre forest. You never know.. we might be neighbours at some point.
Bring it bro!!
This is awesome! I have a bachelors in Turf Management from Penn State and want to do this to my house someday! Looks great! Keep it up man!!
This will be a cake walk for you ole buddy!
@@SpudRunGolf love it! Worked on a golf course for 6 years and there’s so many ways to get a great looking course. Budget isn’t everything!
absolutely fantastic
I'm over here setting up a golf simulator in my garage and this guy built a real hole in his backyard. Sheeesh...
Awesome, been working on my green for years and I'm very afraid to add up the costs. Somehow your video makes me feel so much better. Keep up the amazing work and forget about the cost.lol.
If was not for this video I would not have figured the cost. Haha. Thanks for tuning in!
Staying tuned
That’s what I’m talkin bout!
Priceless
This is awsome!!!
$500 just for the extra fabric layer wow. There's a lot more than meets the eye when it comes to golf courses, cool video
love the content good luck
I've just paid my full 7 day membership fees at my local club in Surrey, UK. We had a big increase this year due to some big projects that need doing. My fees were $1,900 and my club is 2 miles away. I was thinking gosh, that's a lot of money...and now I feel like I got a great deal! OK it's not my own personal property, but I can drop in and out as I please.
Though tbh to build your own hole in South East England you'd have to be a millionaire by default as you wouldn't be able to afford a property with any land without shelling out millions. So I guess in England if you have the land you can probably afford the work.
Very cool
You’re living my bloody dream, of course it’s worth the money. Anyone that says otherwise hasn’t worked out life yet.
That’s what I’m talking about!
I definitely want to do this one day. Probably another decade or so. Maybe in retirement.
Top video!
Dream for sure of mine!!
Just subscribed really really cool to see what you have created. When can i come play it? Keep up the good work sir!
It’s been fantastic to see all the new comments and subs the last week. Do you ever travel thru Ohio?
Sort of why I went for the pasture golf/links style when putting together my own course, like the old timers used to make.
The land is unaltered other than regular mowing, and the greens have a bit of sand and the occasional rolling, but that's it. A lot of old-time greens were actually "browns" being just dirt or sand patches, so it's something to consider if you want to ease the complexity and maintenance side of things.
It's a bit more rough and ready than the finely manicured complexes we have today, but it serves. Add some hickory clubs, and it's like stepping back in time.
If you have a green spot, you can have a course of some kind. I've seen people with very limited space make chippng courses on their lawns or use limited flight balls to drive then regular ones to putt out.
Good stuff, thanks for commenting
Nice bro!!!
This channel is awesome!
Found you randomly mentioned in a comments section on another YT video. While I was tempted to jump to your recent content. I started at video #1 and am working my way through from the start of your journey.
Really cool to know this place exists in my own “backyard” (Ohio native). Also cool that you and I both got to play with some future PGA winners when we were in HS. I’m a few years younger than you and got to play against Jason Kokrak a bunch of times. Even back then his skill was something special.
Thanks for taking the time to put this journey out there for others to appreciate! Absolutely money and time well spent. Can’t wait to binge the rest of your videos.
Awesome. What was the other video if ya don’t mind me asking?
@@SpudRunGolf sorry for the delay. It was on Stephen's channel (kid from Good Good). He's done some videos about wanting to build a course on his property. And someone in the comments section suggested he check out Spud Run for some insights.
I love what you are doing
Thank you
That's awesome man.
Thanks
Congrats !
So cool!!!
👊🏻
This is so cool. I've had an artificial green in my backyard for 16 years but it's completely weathered and beaten down. I'd love to put in a real on one day
If you had to guess, how long would you say it was in good playing condition?
@@SpudRunGolf probably about 7 years. We have it refinished once a spring but that still doesn't do much to it. Runs at about a 20 on the stimp meter and has roots all over.
Damn, very nice. I LITERALLY just spent $27,000 on a simulator and a backyard putting green (The launch monitor and software was 20K of that). I barely had enough room to have a 60 ft putting green installed, much less an entire par 4 hole lol I look forward to seeing updates to this!
That’s awesome. Coming into winter, a sim would be handy here in Ohio. Maybe one day. Enjoy your setup brother.
@@SpudRunGolf Thanks bro, I’m in Virginia and the cold is deffo already here lol I’ve only had it a couple weeks but I HIGHLY recommend one, took me about 4 years to save up the money! I subscribed 👌
Nice video keep up the good work
Thank you
This is why golf started on mostly links land in UK and Ireland there was almost no costs involved , the sand based land didn't require draining and no need for sprinklers as the was a plentiful supply of water from the sky 🌦☔the greens were basically just mowed out of the end of the fairway the land being naturally smooth having been under water thousands of years ago......
Definitely money well spent. As for your friends, they get the Harleys, AND they have a buddy with a little golf course!
Oh you also forgot something lining the green with special geofabric, around the sides if you don't you get a wicking affect where the clay soil pulls the moisture out of the root zone, ending up with dry soil and turf issues in the front like you have. If the green falls from front to back, or like any real green falling to any side you should add a smile drain because moisture can build up especially with the geofabric. The smile drain runs along the edge of the front of the green like 6 to 12 inches from the edge, hence giving a smile affect, it catches any water the drainage misses
Hahahaha I love the hashtag of “Stephen Castaneda needs my help” haha!
Haha, one of these days he will see it.
Totally Awesome…😊
Thanks
This is amazing! I was just thinking about this as a future land owner, I mean a guy can dream, right?
I plan on building a par 3, I can't decide how nice I wanna go. Land isn't an issue and I have the heavy equipment. Now just the knowledge.
Go for it!! It will be a fun project. The maintenance is a little scary though.
This is awesome…. But I only have 2 acres of land, so I’m prob going to go with a golf simulator downstairs!
Living my dream. But unfortunately the trackman will have to do. Better option for the long Canadian winters haha
I am also from southern ohio! I play at the elks and little scioto frequently.
Awesome
There is a guy in the Hamptons where I grew up that built his on a little golf course directly across the street from a golf course the property he used was $1 million an acre. I’m sure there are videos of it on TH-cam. It’s Bridgehampton
