FREE GOLF is unbeatable!!! especially with how nice this is!! better then most public courses around me, some lucky locals over there…
Just played here for the first time this year! I live 25 min away too. Great course.
The fact that Adam the Director of Golf is focusing on improvements in the clubhouse as well, this is a gem. Greens are pure too, game on!
I live across the road
I learned to play on this course.
@@Noplexedits i know where you are .. i'll be knocking the door soon
I live close to this course and use it regularly. They do a phenomenal job with this course. We are all so grateful to have it!!!
This guys is very true, truly a blessing and thankful for the park for keeping it free for the community
does it ever get super packed? or is it in a pretty quiet county? i feel like i would love a free course but at the same time i feel like it would get absolutely packed by me everyday
@@whois_dev9314 mid afternoon it can get busy. However, being that it’s free, I may just go play 7,8,9 if it’s open or just hole 9. Whatever is open. Using common courtesy not to slow anyone down in any way, since they were there first. If they were to catch up, I just skip a hole to get out of their way, go check hole 1, hit up the practice greens, practice bunker, or hit the range. In other words, you get in where you fit in. You have to have etiquette out there. Being kind and patient is a requirement!
All that said, I usually go in the mornings and almost never have a problem.
@@whois_dev9314 as someone who lived 5 mins away his whole life. this year has been by far the longest waits
This is incredible
Grew up in New Castle PA. Played this course many times. The only issue I ever had was when it’s crowed it can be dangerous with balls flying everywhere. They really have improved it over the years.
We've been in NC since 2010. I just took up golf again few years ago, haven't played there yet. BP is def on my bucket list! Go 'Canes!
Damn this is awesome man, I've always said if I was loaded my dream would be to make a free course so anyone and everyone could play. The game is changing man love to see golf becoming more universal, good stuff as always brother!
Grew up down the road from there and definitely took it for granted growing up. Adam’s been doing great things with the course and it’s awesome to see more and more people out enjoying it
I play this course every weekend. My Friends and I always the first out on weekends play 18 done by 930 or so. Shout out to the man who has worked the course for years and keeps those greens beautiful Mark. The course will miss you when you retire this winter.
Wait is it closing permanently or just for the winter?
Dang you tee off at 6:30 in the morning.
@@brittbyler1092 yes first light
@therustbeltsportsshow Awesome this is free. Ever had any trouble with kids running around unsupervised (getting into mischief) or stolen equipment? I have heard that was an issue years ago. Wasn't sure if that is still a problem. Thank you. Very interested in the course.
@@Trevo7777b it used to close during winter but is open year round now!
Hey, Josh my town(Alexandria, LA) has the oldest par 3 course in the US. It's also completely free. Only 4.5 hour drive from Dallas. I'd love to play a round with you.
I cannot believe how pure those greens are. They're nicer than some of the $30-$40 golf courses around here lol great video as always, homie!
Could eat off those bad boys
Can't believe you got to meet Adam Scott
My first time golfing was on this course. I never realized how big of a deal it was when I was younger to have free golf. It wasn’t until I got in to golf more I realized that literally no other place does this. It’s a gem. Buhl Park next door is beautiful too.
A unicorn for sure. Love this place!
There used to be a golf course in Ohio that was $5 and only had a drop box at the parking lot. No one worked there, the owner would mow it.
First golf shot I ever hit on a course was on what is now the 3rd hole. It used to be the first hole. My first ball landed about where yours did on that hole. I think there used to be a tree gaurding the right side of the green. Your first hole used to be the 8th. There was no clubhouse back then. Your parents would drop you off in a gravel lot across the street from the current 3rd tee box. The course has changed for the better over the years, obviously. Good on them. If I ever get back that way - the wife and I will definitely play a round.
I hear that 3 used to be one from a lot of locals and including my dad. Seen an old scorecard sheet from back then, was an interesting layout.
The #1 thing this proves is that all those 'worst' course of a state videos you guys do, those courses have ZERO excuse to be as garbage as they are if this FREE course can look THIS nice...
Dude........It's a subsidized course.........
This course basically has a trust fund supporting it. The "Buhl Farm Trust" gives $600k each year........ You can search their public non-profit filings.
Most of the courses shown on the "Worst" series don't come anywhere near $600k in TOTAL revenue and this course gets donations, pro shop/driver revenue and possibly city/county funds on top of that.........
Most of those "Worst" courses are locals who took over some failed HOA course and are now in debt and still need to spend something around $1,000,000 per year maintaining a full 18 hole course.......
This is a course that may be "free" but it still brings in WAY more money than every course shown on the "Worst" series......
That course in Arizona he did was $15....... That course would have to average 100 paying customers per day for a full 365 days just to bring in the $600k this course gets in free money......
Yes ........ All courses can be much nicer if they are given almost an entire operating yearly budget in donations........
It's a 9 hole course that is open 6 months per year and gets $600k in donations..........
Frank Buhl. Building something for the community in order to leave your mark in the History books, a lost tradition unfortunately.
Love that guy
That rangefinder hack is gonna change my world 👍😂
Picked up the game of golf here when I was 12 years old. Used to get dropped off with a few friends and play 18-27 holes. Also, used to get coffee or chicken broth for .35¢ out of the vending machine on cold mornings. Dum-Dums is a not so hidden gem! Greens are better than a lot of courses out there. I’ve driven every hole here except #2. I may have to go back to complete the challenge! Did I mention how nice the greens are ☑️ 😆 Looks like you enjoyed the course. I hope you took advantage of the opportunity and played another round! Nice putts btw, I’ll have to check out those lab putters.
Walnut creek golf course, jamestown Pennsylvania. It's free and only 20 minutes north of Sharon. 👍😊
I’m so confused yesterday for 2 people and a cart to golf 18 holes was $84. And the course was packed. How is a free golf course that empty?
I moved away from Sharon, PA about 4 years ago and had not played on that course since 2021. Wow things are for sure different. 15 years ago that course would not be that easy to play on. From the sounds of it the greens are still the same but better kept then they were 15 years ago, unforgiving and do not roll out. They have lost a few trees over the years. The tree next to 2's green. made that hole even tougher if you missed right. 3 I see is missing a couple trees up the right, including the oak tree at the hill crest on the right. You would of hit that tree if it was still there. 5 is missing all those trees next to the green on the left think they cut or removed those mid 2010's. Sat out a rain storm under those once. 6's fairway never used to be in the gully because if we got a lot of ran that area was swamp or lake and used to be where that long grass on the top of the hill was at. 7 I cringed when you pulled out a 6 iron because there used to be a creek about 185 yards out and see that has been reclaimed and a culvert was put in. when that was not there I was hit 9 iron and PW in. Then hearing hole 5 will soon be a par 5 soon, I am intrigued. Glad to see this course is looking way better after the rough patch they had in the early 2010's. Back when I was a kid over summer vacations in the early 2000's my cousin would walk that course all day sometimes. We would play from sun up to sun down and then walk back home. So much so the park ranger and I were on a first name basis and was really happy kids my age were respecting the game the way we were and just having fun. (It was funny I ended up working with that same guy last decade in mill.) It was nothing for us to play 54 to 72 holes a day. We were young once and miss those summer days. I contribute those days to practice and how much better we got at golf and it shows today.
This is a few hours away from me but I feel like it might be worth a ride. Looks like a nice course. If I ever hit it big this is something I’d like to do for a community. Free golf.
No way dude!!!! I live in Pittsburgh make the hour drive all the time!! That’s crazy to see it in n UA-cam
Bringhurst Golf Course "Oldest Par 3 Golf Course in America" Alexandria La.!!! It is ALSO FREE to play!!!
Alexandria, LA., has a free 9 hole par 3. Supposed to be the oldest Par 3 in the U.S. Bringhurst; come play it!
Emory and Henry College has a free course in Meadowview Virginia just outside of Abington.
The community college in Kankakee, IL has a free course. It’s only about 4-5 holes I think.
you read the distance wrong since you play on whites
TIP on putting don't say ... " don't you dare don't you dare.!!
TRY
GO IN GO IN GO IN GO IN ...
Those pickled sausages are amazing! Don’t sleep! Cheers 🍻
I usually just lick my rangefinder and it works…no need to lick the battery. 😅
NE Ohio and Western PA has some great courses!! So cool to see you in our local area!!!
NO CART FEES.....we generate revenue from carts, range
Totally booking a getaway during the week so I can play there during my stay
Discgolf is free nationwide. I’ll just toss that out there.
Apparently I live 15 minutes away from this place???
Bro my course member ship is like $600 a month 😭😭😭
I got excited because I live in pa. But I still live over 5 hrs away😢
My grandpa grew up he said him and his friends would just not go to school and golf
Sick course
Impressive greens and decently long. I am jealous.
Best free course in the uk is taking a bag of balls down to the field and aiming for different cluster of daisies 😂
I grew up within walking distance, my friends and I would call each other and just meet up down there before we could drive...or if we felt like going fishing, there was always buhl park's lake. Sometimes we'd do both in the same day. Summers were amazing.
Sounds magical
Nice round pal! I started watching around 158 views and it’s steadily climbing over 300! Nice work buddy! Keep up the great work!
Appreciate it brother!
whats your swing speed cause you look like youre barely swinging at it love this kinda of swing
You should eat the red hot pickled sausage anyways, I thought the same thing but they actually bang
Not the only free golf course in the world though.. clickbait
Day 1 of asking for you to play at diamond hill golf course
Played it a good bit, I’m from new castle
I’ve paid money for courses worse than this! This is awesome
I love those Big Mama sausages. You should get a pickled pig foot
if its a trust then sounds like the maintenance costs come out of the trust he setup. sounds like he was a rich guy so doubt the trust would be empty
I can only putt with center shaft putters. Can someone tell me what putter that is?
That is awesome. It is completely across the state from me though. :(
Of course I live in PA but it’s still 4 hours way 😢
Red Hot Bahama Mamas rock dood. You are missing out.
Played many times in the 80's as a teen. Was originally 10 holes
I’m from New Orleans and I eat hot mamas all the time lol one of my favorites
This place might be nicer than my local 9 that charges $31 with a cart 😂
How's it free? Whos paying for it
What did you cut out before "membership fees" right at the start?
God that course is in terrible condition
I need that hole in one I just totaled my car. Come play golf in idaho
uhhh, so what happened to the pickled sausage?
Amazing. Best place in America!
When the free course condition is better than any of your local 40 dollar courses 🥲
Course in Kansas I’ve played is free
There’s a free golf course in Denmark
There's a very unique 9 hole course I used to play as a kid in Walker Valley, New York, right on the main drag. About 90 minutes north of NYC in the Catskill Mountains. May want to check it out. My favorite from high school, not far away in Fallsburg, NY is Tarry Brae GC.
like 69 yoo...
next up find a course that will give you money for playing
I’ve played here! So fun!
Not the only free golf course in the world
This would be cool to have in every community!! Great video Josh!! Happy New Year's!!
ah yes the world (america)
I go here at least 2 times a week it’s awesome
There is at least one more free golf course I know of
I live close... to the place where those red pickled sausages are made. The company also does pickled onions, pickled pig feet and knuckles (yes, you can buy pickled pig knuckles), and pickled eggs. It smells about as horrific as you'd imagine. Ole Herb's Snack Foods!
Pickled sausages are so good I would lose just to eat it
How all physical activity and recreational activities should be, FREE! Especially GOLF which can be played by almost anyone.
So cool to see someone you watch consistently all of the sudden play a course you do all the time. Great stuff man.
Appreciate it brother!
Dude don't judge the Tijuana mama!
There’s another free course in Hawaii
The island of lanai has a free golf course
How's the knee .? Love your content
greens may be ok but the tee boxes ae shyt,lol
You almost in my neck of the woods, a little southwest, down interstate 81
I would like to host you at one or two of a few neat tracks here in north Florida! I’m a golf course shaper and I absolutely love the quirky places
If you really want free-to-play with minimal start-up equipment required to play, pick up a couple disc golf discs and go throw those discs into the chains on the baskets at a local course!!!
Dude they r better than u think
I have found a very inexpensive golf course in Scone, NSW, Australia. It is also first come first serve, just walk up to a tiny automated kiosk, pay your greens fees and go tee off. Cockatoos roam the fairways much the same way geese do here in the US.
Come down outside Pittsburgh and play The Madison Club. Beautiful public course.
I can’t believe how good the greens look my goodness, I would just be torn apart if someone vandalized this course 😡 wish everyone followed golf etiquette, this is why we can’t have nice things
Loved the video, but what's upp with the sound and camera hz? Looks kinda laggy
Yeah had some trouble with my mic. Sorry about that
There should be free golf everywhere. Just like basketball, soccer, and baseball parks.
For a free course that looks very good!!! I just played Pittsburgh National a few weeks ago and it was an absolute mess. In addition to the course being mediocre, the course staff were incredibly rude throughout the round. Would much rather play this course with people who seem to actually care about their patrons and not trying to be elitist.
Used to live in the area and loved playing here. A lot of people in the area don't even know about it, a hidden gem! There's another course in nearby Cortland, OH that is only $5.
What course are you talking about being 5 dollars
@@jacobwilliams7625 Looks like times have changed. I was talking about the Links course. It appears to be $12 now.
Go to Kauai, Hawaii, and play the Kukuiolono course in Kalaheo. $15 green fees, $15 carts, $10 rental clubs. Awesome course way above sea level on the island, at a massive price difference than other Hawaii golfing. Bunkers are poor/not many of them, but the rest is so much fun.
I got excited because I saw it's in PA. Then I realized it's on the Ohio border and is a 6 hour ride lol. Why does PA have to be so wide?
Love your video, great pace great shots, do you mind throwing up some QR codes or logos or links on the video itself when you talk about your sponsor?
WOW. My dad used to take me there when I was little, while visiting my grandparents.
Cool Creek in Wrightsville, PA, is one of the nicest public courses I've ever played. Don't forget to get a croc burger at the clubhouse. Such a solid course
Those pickled sausages lowkey slap, haven’t had one in probably 10 years but use to get them from time to time lol
