In his latest adventure, Erik travels to a place where finding shade is just as important as finding your ball. Adventures in Golf Season 3, presented by United, heads to the appropriately named Furnace Creek Golf Course in Death Valley, California.
At 282 feet (86 meters) below sea level, Death Valley is home to the lowest elevation in North America, and some of the highest temperatures on earth, regularly reaching over 100 degree Fahrenheit (38 degrees Celsius).
With conditions like these, this golf experience is just as unique as the people that take part in it.
Adventures in Golf takes you around the world to places you'd never think golf would exist.
From the slums of Mumbai to a Louisiana prison, no adventure is too gnarly for host Erik Anders Lang. Watch for the golf, stay for the adventure.

Thanks again to Erik for joining us for the Premiere this week. Check out the live chat to see what he had to say..
Skratch what kind of golf bag is he using?
Adventures in golf should be made into a TV series. I am amazed with how well done the series is.
“It’s not a golf course.”
“You can’t play it.”
Erik - “Challenge accepted.”
“Welcome to your lowest round ever!” hahaha! That sign is on point.
You know dam well he didn't find that ball. Lol
"Well I do have another ball.."
-Scene cut
"I found it!"
Nice try buddy! Lol
If he did it was an unplayable lie so he still had to take a penalty and drop lol
Immense respect to the grounds team at this course. They make grass grow in the desert. That’s all there is to it 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Just a lot of water!!
this episode has some of the best shots i’ve seen on this series. the production quality is insane
Defenitely videos should be longer! common Erik! people love you! give us more!!!!
Aaaaaah, I just took my clubs out of the car and put them in basement for their 4 month nap. Last Tuesday was my last round of the season. Nothing but 30's and 40's on the horizon here. Watching this vlog helps!!!!
From the NPS website: Devil's Golf Course
An immense area of rock salt eroded by wind and rain into jagged spires. So incredibly serrated that "only the devil could play golf on such rough links". Listen carefully and you'll hear sounds like tiny pops and pings. Bend your ear to the ground and the sound grows louder. The sound is literally billions of tiny salt crystals bursting apart as they expand and contract in the heat.
The Devils Golf Course is best viewed from the parking area. The salt formations are fragile.
How does this channel not have millions of subscribers?
Anyone else noticed the wooden sign at 2:12 says "Wecome" instead of "Welcome" wonder how many years that spelling mistake has gone unnoticed 😅
And if you go west into the Sequoia National Forest from there up through Kernville the sign as you enter Johnsondale says population 1 1/2. I asked the only resident, the Ranger, who the 1/2 was and he chuckled and said you figure it out as he walked away. That was like 12 yrs ago or so. I still wonder to this day. Was it the dog or buried better half. Dunno.
sevenhornets it was you, you were the one half
@@spinexel6847 Played furnace creek a couple times while on short term assignment in "F" Ridgecrest. The coolest city in the west. Now the shakiest. We never made it past 12. They always came out and said it was too hot and had to come in..
@@sevenhornets the population is 1.5, the ranger and the guy asking who the half is. You only count for half because you leave.
It definitely says welcome
"You know alot about golf"
"I know even more about grass"
One of the most fun courses i have ever played. The hardest course when you play in the summer.
I don’t understand why this channel doesn’t get more recognition, even for people who don’t love golf, the cinematic and Beauty of it all is just incredible
This is awesome! We played furnace creek in a high school tourney in the 90s. I think they had 3 kids pass out. It was about 117 if I remember right
Brrruuuhhhh
Crazy how underated you are omg this series is seriously insane
So glad you guys are still doing this. Love the series! Keep it up!
Simply brilliant. Looked like you were playing on Mars. Great arial shot and music at 10.30min
Finally a golf course in this show I can go out and try! And I'm. Not talking about the Devil's golf course. I've been there already.
I've spent the last year playing hillbilly golf in the mountains of SoCal. I thought that was the worst terrain I could possibly play in, but this channel has showed me otherwise. All you need is a stick, a ball, and an imagination!
I truly enjoyed playing this golf course and will play it again Furnace Creek.
My only complaint every single week about this show is that it’s not long enough... please longer episodes... we would all sit here and watch 30 minute episodes of this!
Wow that's one gnarly course .. well done finding your ball
The images are fantastic
Love your channel Erik
And that one dude had gnarly teeth. WTF?!?
Dude , I’m seriously about to start watching these on my television
Rides in a cart while wearing a "Burning Cart Society" visor. Ha! Just thought it was funny.
I love the content though, keep it up Erik!
Whos walking in 100+ heat. I'll give them this one.
The Devil's Golf Course. Motto: A *great* place to break in your new set of clubs.
Another great episode! Way to give er!
So epic. The cinematography and drone shots. This is so well done. Thank you again EAL
I love the weather in Death Valley actually. It’s so fresh smelling and warm. If you just don’t over exert yourself you can enjoy the golf course and the park. That Devils golf course part of the park is amazing, but be careful walking through it. Easy to trip and get cut.
Best one yet! I think I want to golf the devils course, sounds fun haha
So cool to see an episode for a course I’ve been to
Excellent Erik, the last scene is brilliant 👌😂
Another awesome episode! Thanks for it! Best from Berlin, Germany.
So happy I stumbled across Erik’s channel during the covid-19 shelter in place. Freakin awesome you played The Devils Golf Course, total bonus.
I played Furnace Creek in the mid 90s with my ex father-in-law who worked part time at the resort during the winter and spring. The course has a ton of date trees surrounding it. Date trees are soft so if your ball hits them hard enough they'll just stick.
I love this channel!
Currently viewing all previous episodes 👌
Awesome Erik. Thanks for this adventure.
The Devil's golf course was freaking amazing!
Enjoying this series very much! I’d suggest something on our military courses. Hickman Airforce Base has a wonderful course that has beautiful views of Pearl Harbor!
wooowwweeee, get a look at those chompers on that local
Best episode yet
They film the Jundland Wastes scenes from Star Wars in Death Valley. Now all I can think of is Tusken Raiders playing golf!
"The ball got a bad bounce" hahaha
Love your work. Thank you from New Zealand................
Just spent 12 days down there, golf and tennis, in December it is freaking perfect. There were more coyotes than humans on the course with snow covered mountains around us while we sat in perfect sunny 70 degrees weather. Been once in the summer, dont do it
after watching this video i hit the back key and went to previous page leaving this page but soon i realized that this video deserves to be liked and commented so that is why i came back to this page and am writing this comment. good video hard work.
Also , thanks for not pulling a Netflix on us and dropping a whole season at once , I appreciate the anticipation and build up to a new episode whether that be weekly or longer idc , just thanks
Another amazing Ep
I love this channel! Thank you for sharing your golf adventures; hope to catch you on a golf course in LA sometime.
I am so excited to see the devils golf course
Been there! Even have a picture of the sign. Kudos for actually walking out into the field. Even more amazing is you found your ball. I thought it would have hit a formation and bounced... someplace.
How this got into my recommended list is a mystery, but well done!
LOL. On the 3rd...
Homie - "might be hitting from the 6th"
Eric - "Yah, I'm planning ahead"
The production quality it's 🔥🔥
Another gem sir!
I'm impressed they can even grow grass fairways. Many years ago I played a budget desert course in rural Tucson (if I remember correctly) with my grandpa that was literally all dirt and cactus other than the putting greens. I was expecting it to look like that.
Amazing!!
That was a fancy dive
Wonderful. Thank you.
Epic, thanks Anders
Majestic🙌🏻
Thanks for posting, I will go play the devil course
‘You can’t play there’
-Say no more, onward!!
I had a great time there lot harder than I thought and lots of water too. Will go back again.
i lived in round mtn nevada and once a month on our one day off we would go here in the winter. the tournament in january is really fun 3 days of drinking heavily
Love it .... Has signs saying Devils Golf Course
So cool Erik.
loved it
I saw this episode and made a trip out there. Lost a few balls in the water hazard lol
I’m out here in palm desert. I work at a golf course and play all throughout the summer when it’s 110+. The deals in the summer are the best lol
So cool.
I love and hate Death Valley. People come from around the world to ride their motorcycles through it because it's SUCH a beautiful ride but my god it sucks when it's 118 degrees. Wind cooled bikes just don't cool down haha I live right next to it so I've been through several times and it's miserable in the summer.
Very Nice Erik! Already booked the tee time to this place lol
I played Furnace Creek last July, but coming from Phoenix didn't find the temperature that uncomfortable. What bothered me was those darn local coyotes. Yikes! They're essentially domesticated, and will come right up to you looking for handouts. One of the groundskeepers was laughing at me trying to scare one away so I could get on my cart and escape it.
Great episode Erik.
If you can handle the heat, they have ridiculous golf vacation deals in the palm springs area.
New sub.
Perfect golf course for if there is a crossover between a Rocky Balboa movie and golf
That’s where Phil got his first set of clubs
Very funny. Good show man.
This is the first time I've been genuinely worried about Erik's health and well-being during a video.
Are you referring to the 737max at the beginning?
They should make a golf course at Devil's Golf Course. Even if it's a par 3 course! Amazing :)
You can literally watch Erik’s mind,it’s not a golf course, er , Sir, respectfully and politely,yes it is
I'm going to go look for that bright yellow Ball hahaha
Gonna play sm golf honey! Where?? She cried! I just need smtime to thnk!! But where honey?? I know a place!! He responded..
Looks like some courses I’ve played in Texas.
Amazing footage
We play a two day tournament there every year. We have a great time.
Love the channel. Wish you would have shown the Furnace Creek course though. Like a little review. I'm here to discover neat courses in order to visit someday.
I played it in 1991. Looks a lot greener now
Way to play the devils course!
Yup this shit sucks. I live in Yuma Arizona and it gets to 117 in the summer and we only get like 3-4 months of cool weather. Lowest in the “winter” is 47-57 degrees in the morning, 80-90 mid day. So in the summer as soon as it hits 12.. everyone is ready to go home, shower and nap lol
DAMN! I lost 10lbs just watching this. Thanks E!
Play it in the winter and it's comfy.
This is like Golf Top Gear.
Great edit
wonderful
I built a pump station for furnace creek gc. Had to be specially made to stand temperatures upwards of 140° F.
Nice move with the armpit towel. Keep that arm tucked.
Haha finding shade is the trick. A dog even knows that the shade is cooler
A great episode as always, but you shanked it into the lake when you talked about the effect of altitude on the golf ball.
Though low altitude (and higher air density) do have a negative effect on the aerodynamics of a ball (or any other object's passage through air), you're not correcting for temperature, pressure, or humidity.
If the air is warmer than normal, the ambient pressure is lower than normal, and/or humidity is higher than normal, the air will be less dense than normal. Of these factors, temperature plays the biggest part.
In fact, the calculated density altitude at the course on the day you played was 2,300' *above* sea level. That's based on the given temperature of 98F and elevation of -214' MSL, and assuming a standard atmospheric pressure of 29.92" and a dewpoint of 40F, typical for a desert day.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Density_altitude
Hey people need to blame their bad shots.on something lol
@@I43573 and the wind! Always the wind!
this is cool
wow!
