It started as an epic Long Island golf course built in the 1910s that was so far beyond its time. By the 1940s, it was gone, but never forgotten. Many consider the Lido to be the holy grail of lost courses. After hearing what it took to bring it back, Erik Anders Lang knew he had to travel to its new soon-to-be home in Wisconsin to see the course and meet the people responsible for resurrecting it on this Adventures in Golf, presented by United Airlines.

Hard to overstate how good of an interviewer and storyteller EAL (and team) is. This is a multi-year, multi-character story, spread across 2 states, and they are able to pull everything together beautifully into a 30-minute piece. Pretty incredible.

@legless4767 Год назад

EAL is living all of our dreams. Maybe it’s the flowing locks….I’m hoping he stopped up to Homestead to get a quick 9 in 15 minutes up the road. 💪🏼💪🏼

@henryflitton3588 Год назад

I love that he cares more about what the interviewees have to say than the sound of his own voice. He let the stories speak for themselves instead of making sure he was heard.

@PixlPutterMan Год назад

My favorite episode yet! Had goosebumps the entire time. Cherry on top was when Peter brought out the hickory shafts for the first round played there in 81 years...

@nickinportland Год назад

You got to appreciate people who dedicate themselves to projects like this. To a golf course most have never heard of, long gone, and made it so again.

@FlippyNipps93 2 месяца назад

Still the best golf page on YT imo because of content like this

@mikeconnors1473 Год назад

EAL - I grew up at current day Lido GC. Steve was our boss and mentor, I am so happy you included him in this piece. He truly loves Lido so much. The modern day Lido is such a special place. I can't wait to set foot on the rebuilt course and step back in time. Thanks for all the work you do highlighting these great golf stories! You should do an episode on modern day Lido someday -- full of characters and stories! Great work here!!

@TheSafeGolfer Год назад

This is special! Great job EAL and Skratch.

@chrismayor5147 Год назад

My favourite You Tube channel, literally, Adventures in Golf ( could be in celebrating golf) riveting and fascinating….times stands still, yet flies by. Thank you so much, again.

@briancurtin9203 Год назад

Wow! Thanks Erik for including the current Lido in your piece. Having worked there early in my career, no one was better to meet than Steve Rofrano. Can't wait to play The Lido!

@christopherhixon8016 Год назад

I had the good fortune to see Pete Flory's magic behind the scenes when this was still a dream...incredible to see Tom Doak and the Keiser Team bring it to life! Fantastic episode.

@jessedumoulin8913 7 месяцев назад

The irony of The Lido having been called "The greatest course you'll never play", and now that it has been rebuilt and made private, might make it still the greatest course I will never play 😂

@tashawn2222 2 месяца назад

Make a reservation. You just have to book ahead.

@thomasschroeder5981 Месяц назад

It's not private lol. Anyone can go to Sand Valley

@torreyrufus1795 Год назад

I have the pleasure of Working at Sand Valley as a caddie ...... I can say first hand how amazing it is to walk The Lido. It is like you are transported to a whole new world and time. The simplistic beauty of the course itself is astonishing. The lay out is great . When having the opportunity to walk the other golf courses on property then walking The Lido you really feel like you are in a totally different area and time. Just breath taking.

@markwilliams8754 Год назад

Recommendation for a future episode: In central Ohio there is a course called Moundbuilders CC. Built over and around ancient native American earthworks. One of a kind course currently in the midst of a legal battle. Historical society wants to shut the course down to protect the mounds. Would be an awesome watch.

@jmac6631 Год назад

The ending was the best. Looking over his shoulder knowing he was 1 of 4 to do something very special. I enjoyed this video. Thank you.

@linksgolfer9949 Год назад

Pure brilliance……. I had goosebumps watching. Thank you Erik for taking us back in time while also showing us the new Lido. Steve R Lido Golf Club LI NY

@mikeconnors1473 Год назад

Steve - Mayor of Lido! Happy for you my friend!! You deserve your own episode!

@TanukiSC Год назад

Possibly my favorite from EAL to date. Proper storytelling that weaves past and present together so perfectly. The course looked and now looks incredible. Such incredible history to discover.

@jaredfriedman1356 Месяц назад

We booked our SV trip a year ago and we all watched this video, eager anticipating the day we would step on the first tee. Boy was it special. Easily one of the most beautiful, challenging, walkable, historical representation of courses I've ever played. Never have I hit so many good shots that turned out to be not so great because of the challenging layout. Can't recommend this enough to any avid golfer as a must play.

@heshwuan Год назад

As someone who has designed several courses digitally, I find this amazingly interesting and fascinating. To recreate an existing or preexisting course is incredibly difficult, and the amount of research, time, and effort required is insane. To do it for real is unbelievable. Great episode.

@rehajm Год назад

I don’t know the current state of your game Eric but sports journalism-wise you’ve been crushing it! Thanks for another great story…

@HookEm416 Год назад

Absolutely great piece. Got chills watching it and brought back great memories researching the old track while working with Steve for so many years at the Town course. Unbelievable job and thank you for your work on it!

@vaidykrishnan Год назад

That little scene switch he does with the snap of his finger is so masterful

@jennakenzie1 Год назад

EAL….That was priceless. I learned how to play golf on the current Lido Course 30 + years ago, you brought all those memories back. Bless you 😊

@Goathockey10 Год назад

I’ve been absolutely geeking about this course ever since I first heard it was being built, so happy you decided to do an AIG video on it. Thank you EAL!!

@legless4767 Год назад

Greatest episode of them all. The History. The Design. Technology. Adams County turning it up in the golf game 👀👀

@jross4611 Год назад

This so interesting and amazing that people could recreate this course at such accuracy.

@gregoryedwards8781 Год назад

Erik, can’t believe you got a legend like Steve Rofrano on here. He’s a great guy and my first manager. We always wondered what the original course was like . Double Eagle 4 Life

@craignelson5689 Год назад

As a Wisconsinite who enjoys annual trips to Sand Valley - learning the history behind the Lido makes me so much more excited to try the course once their work is done. SV + MD are already gems here in the midwest, I can't wait to see what the Lido does to continue to entice people to the WI dunes :)

@stevepona3338 9 месяцев назад

Spectacular episode. As good as the course and the project demanded. Well done, team!!

@CHABoiii Год назад

The fact that the EAL team film in an aspect ratio that fills the entire phone screen when flipped onto it's side is a thing of beauty that no one else is doing and makes watching his vids even better

@IcePlays Год назад

Awesome video. Cobb's Creek is being restored in Philadelphia, another very interesting story

@peterandresen328 3 месяца назад

What a tremendous video and story. Thank you

@jasongrant3681 Год назад

Now this is ADVENTURES IN GOLF. A wonderful yarn, gotta be one of the best ep.

@markg660 Год назад

Love “rumply” from Tom Dock ! What these guys have done in collaboration is a masterpiece. Although probably and highly ‘exclusive’ for mere normal golfers, to have done this project is brilliant collaboration from a number of diverse skill sets. Awesome.

@swiper1131 Год назад

I just can't imagine if the lido had closed maybe 10 years later. There'd probably be someone alive today who could re-live playing a course they played as a child. Not saying it's impossible.. but you'd have to find a 90 year old who happened to play golf when they were younger than 10, in the 40's- who's still playing today lol

@wadepatton2433 Год назад

While I doubt I'll ever be able to afford the opportunity to get up there (11-hours drive), I can vicariously enjoy this one via the web and much appreciate the work and vision put into restoration of things Historic. Well done everyone who worked on this project! I started in the the 80's and as far as I know at this point three of those courses no longer exist (nothing special any one of them). The very best one I ever played was redesigned by Jack, some say to make it easier, a couple decades ago--and I do plan to hit it again some day. It's only 4 hours in the opposite direction of Sand Valley.

@chrisward3 Год назад

Playing this on the simulator is an incredible experience. Playing this in real life would be out of this world!

@LarryAbel53 Год назад

Fantastic story, beautifully told, and loved seeing the joy in Erik’s face after the round.

@Clueless2410 Год назад

One of my favorite Adventures in Golf videos ever, Love it

@SpacklerTurf Год назад

As I'm a long islander and golf superintendent, I cant wait to get out and experience this design masterpiece of yesteryear

@jefferyzielke7665 Год назад

That was actually historic! Congratulations to all of those involved! I am definitely going to play it!

@benjaminfoltin4264 Год назад

Im just glad to know this gem will be private! so stoked for that.

@tashawn2222 6 месяцев назад

It's open for resort play 5 days per week for 4 hours per day. So, about 1,600 public players per month will play it. That's more play than it gets on the private side.

@harrisonmiller4691 Год назад

Best Adventures in Golf yet! Going up to SV in May hoping to get on this awesome course

@darsfc1 Год назад

👏👏👏 wonderful Erik! Congrats to all. Phenomenal.

@daviddru942 Год назад

Thank you, this was great. What a fun project. Totally agree with MKjr that the saddest day is opening day.

@quinlanroche342 Год назад

It was really cool seeing this course be built in the video game. Even cooler to see it realized in real life.

@rabstunes Год назад

Wow, so unbelievably cool. Golf and its history, the stories are so ever present every time you step on a golf course, but recreating a course like this bringing back history and getting to play it first is Jurassic Park like 😊awesome. Great film EAL and team.

@wrightfix Год назад

Again... I'm glad you are on RU-vid, but you deserve to be on Netflix.

@oneabtv6003 Год назад

If there was ever a peak to your adventures, this will sure be hard to beat. Congratulations Erik, but also thank Frankie from barstool for giving them this idea. 🤣

@daffyduck1223 Год назад

what an awesome vlog/interview and to be honored to play the first round on this historic course is incomparable

@jaytucker4338 8 месяцев назад

@bullion87 Год назад

with all these turmoils are happening in the world, Adventure in Golf is such a joy for me, Great work EAL, you should come to VN and I’ll take you to a very special golf course.

@automan25 Год назад

Pretty cool. I'd love to see this course added to the Golf+ game on the Quest 2 so I can play it in VR.

@MDD1966 Год назад

What an honor for you Eric, pretty cool stuff!

@robertakalski9714 Год назад

Great segment

@eckathewrecka Год назад

Seeing courses like this make you wonder how ordinary players can get around, seeing water everywhere, narrow fairways and those huge bunkers where you can't possibly see the green and hole, makes me wonder if it's all just good luck rather than skill. Having said that the beauty of this course is amazing.

@cankulbandit Год назад

I live in Long Beach and play Lido all the time, but never knew this! Very cool, man.

@RingoDGD Год назад

Fantastic. What an experience.

@JordanHacheyGolf Год назад

This is one of the best episodes you guys have ever produced!

@duffdesigns 10 месяцев назад

This is my hope for the future of design. To be able to use these online programs as a designer to make the course exactly how you want to, be able to play test it and present it to the boards in a visual way before construction. Being able to take the lidar info from the game and apply it to GPS's so we can properly build the course is the next step. Coming from someone who has used the program he build this on there is so much potential for something great here, it just needs to be streamlined.

@rosskline Год назад

This show has singlehandedly converted me from a Delta fan to a United fan. Thank you United for making this happen!!

@061jp Год назад

Great story of the Lido, I have been working at the new Lido golf course, for the past five years. I always wondered and heard about the stories, of the old Lido. When I started working there I did a little research to find out about it. What’s interesting it is a little part is left, in front of Long Beach high school. Part of the pond that was the fourth hole called the channel hole is still there. I hope next year I can get a group of people who play the TOH Lido for many years to come out, and play the resurrected Lido. Good to see, my coworker Steve representing the new Lido and it’s storied past.

@LeopardLFD14 Год назад

Absolutely beautiful!

@garrettschilling7241 Год назад

I had the privilege to play 9 holes here this summer. Great course

@jameswebb9738 Год назад

You got to be the first to play a brand new (Old) golf course with Tom Doak the architect!! And the other key members that made the vision of Recreating The Lido a reality. That is so cool. I have watched a lot of your videos and this had to be your best experience ever!! Once in a lifetime experience!!

@Andy_Reinhart Год назад

Would love to see you do an episode at Campo Municipal de golf Juan Bautista Segura in Buenos Aires I believe it is the cheapest green fees in the world coming in at a little over $3 for 18 holes. Its a decent course and was built by the British in the early 1900s and it was redesigned in 1930 by Allister Mackenzie. Its the only 18 hole public golf course located within the city of Buenos Aires. Not many Mackenzie course you can play for under $5.
