- Gazelles and Giraffes and Warthogs, oh my! Africa is the next stop on this animal-filled Adventures In Golf, presented by United. Erik travels to Hans Merensky Hotel and Spa in Phalaborwa, South Africa bordering Kruger National Park, to play a golf course that lets the wildlife roam free.
The main rule of safari golf is you shouldn’t be on the course at dusk. Guess where Erik finds himself at dusk… Thankfully, no Eriks were harmed in the making of this episode, and the payoff is pretty sweet.

"Hi, I'm Erik..."
*INSTANTLY AND FURIOUSLY SMASHES LIKE*
Stu looked like he was in his element
Mate, after dusk.. Its DANGEROUS!!! A leopard aint no puppy
I think Eric needs to go back and play this course when it's all fixed up!
Thank you so much for this Anders. This is the place I started playing golf, I was stationed at the military base close by and this is where we spent our sports pass time. By the way, they used to charge us 50c (South African) to play. Spent many a time watching hippo and crocs on the 17th. Now I am in the UK and on my local course the wildlife (apart from the members) consists of Geese, Squirrels and the occasional Deer.
The intro is BOSS, different swing from a different place, class 👌🏻
"I'm gonna give myself a par on every hole" so that will be 72, or It be 71 😂😂😂😂 in bits.
Man...this course and its management had a golden opportunity for exposure here and they kak't it up by not being ready in time for Eric and his team.
South Africa and planning... 2 words not normally used in the same sentence - unless it includes 'lack of'.
Dis SA vir jou
Seems to me more like the AiG team just came too soon. It's the weather that makes the course hard to keep up, not the people working there. South Africa can't control the weather, but Eric and the rest of the team could have just waited a couple weeks to come.
Absolutely amazing stuff. Skuzuza Golf Club would have been even wilder. It is in the heart of the Kruger National Park.
I love this golf course bru
Erik's pronunciation of Phalaborwa had me in stitches, but a great video! Hans Merensky remains where I shot my best round, a real treat to play!
Definitely one of the more unique pronunciations I've heard of Phalaborwa
Did you see how they spelt Jaco? 😅
@@lukaaudoire-chandler1171 I noticed, that was probably the most unique spelling of it I've seen😂😂🤦🏻♂️
Absolutely love adventures in golf! So cool!
When I played , we were on a Par 3 and my uncle’s ball was going into one of the dams , but hit a hippos head and bounced back onto the green almost in the hole, one of the most unbelievable moments of my life
As South african this video makes my heart skip a beat. Thanks Erik
Maybe the best golf course in the world
“I’m not a tracker so I actually don’t know” 😂😂😂😂
Golf in an amazing part of the world.
I can rarely say that I have watched every episode of a show but adventures in golf is one of them
thought it said "golf survivor" at 1:55
pretty accurate
Glad you guys visited the course. Used to be in the top 100 in South Africa. One of favorite courses to play.
Yet again another fantastic episode. love this season so far!
Simply amazing, Thank you Eric 🙏
How much is it to play 18 with a cart
I love it when the European Tour visit Leopard Creek which also borders the Kruger National Park. One green next to the river is much higher than the river and the players look out and there are elephants, hippos, crocs, giraffes etc down below them. Obviously there are leopards too but they tend not to be there during the day. Its a beautiful tournament to watch but that course is not on my bucket list !! Great film Erik & Stu, what an experience
Go play Gary Player Sun City...the sun/heat there will melt your skin.
Beautiful and very tough course.
Welcome to 🇿🇦 brother✌🏿
Man I love golf, I’m not any good haha I played 9 holes today in 50. It was such a great time tho, even a terrible round has some really fun shots to be had. A few horrible shots and a few that really made me smile, golf really is a great way to spend your day. Out in nature chasing that beautiful shot, a great part of life. Love the show Erik, much appreciated 🙏🙏
Gotta love that intro
what a great experience. Awesome video
I am a South African and we played our first league match this year at this course
I love your respect for the game as a whole. Truly admirable. :-)
By far the coolest video.
Everything is just a little different
Golf course: no holes
Me: do most golf courses not have holes?
Love the new intro. Super sick
Definitely had rounds of golf that I wish a leopard would attack me...love the mind blowing adventure Erik!
😂
😂
In-freaking-credible! Love this video...the surroundings and wild animals on the course are just awesome. Thank you for sharing.
Adventures in Golf is back! I'm from SA!
A beautiful video and shared experience, simply stunning
I love your intro man, just keep adding more.
Good as always
i live in south africa and i played here
Love your videos Eric. Wish I had a chance to meet your while you were here in my home country South Africa
What a bizarre experience!
Mans should go play at Skukuza just around the corner too.
"I'm not a tracker so I don't know" LOLOLOL
these deserve 1mil+ views
Awesome video guys!!
Just Wow!!!
The second pair of glasses come from the shirt pocket.
Welcome to South Africa - Hope you have a warm and welcome stay :)
just amazing swap you jobs
Even without holes I feel like I’d still bogey every hole 💀
Beautiful
I hope you play Legends and do the extreme 19th while you're here!!
Nice ... but yes spotted the timeline inconsistency at 5.50ish. Glasses of ... glasses on. Pretty funny. Great vid. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
I hope you play Gary Player Course at Sun City!
Good grief... you didn’t even use the alligator thing at the end!? Lol
You should have played at leopards creek! It's one of the top courses in South Africa and also has lots of animals.
This is great. Also love the C.S.I. Horatio style shot where you pull the glasses off. All the best to you and your many adventures. Your filming and editing crew is amazing! Thanks for the great content keeping me sane while I work up in the birth of Canada.
North of Canada*
Love EAL but I feel like we got cheated out of some Stuart commentary!
Swinging well it appears.
Damn this looks amazing! I know it can't compare but one of my favourite course in the UK is Knole Park, the views are amazing and there are herds of deer everywhere. You'll be putting and there will be a couple of males with full on antlers just grazing and chilling, I try not to take offence when they walk off after watching my first putt
You must play at skukuza golf course in the Kruger national park
def dont bring snowball out there!
5:50 - EAL and the Mystery of the Second Shades. Where did they come from?
At 5:41 if you pause, you can see the tip of the temple sticking out of his shirt pocket.
Ahhh I wasn't the only one who spotted it. 🤘🏻😎🤘🏻
EAL … Great work as always. Where is the outtake of "bear grylls" in his element?
Skratch.. You need to be on a network.
Go play Leopard Creek Top 2 golf course in South Africa based in Malalane. You'll be surprised
I cant believe u came to south africa and not asking me to join u!!!
Stil need to play here tho
You should go to Gokarna Golf Course in Nepal!
If you are ever needing an intern or just a golf match give me a shout! Lmao you’re living the good life!
You should check out leopard creek, one of the best courses in the world
You should play at San Lameer
I hope you picked up your glasses on the first tee box
Very cool-too bad the course cannot be kept in real playable condition. Love the putt you hit, watching it hit little pebbles or..something. Funnier not retrieving the ball from the "hole". Who could blame you. I would love to go there just to see the animals. No question most dangerous would be hippos and/ or crocs. I have encountered crocs(yes crocs not gators)on the courses in Cancun, Mexico. It's amazing how white their teeth were, as when basking in the sun they often do so with the mouths agape. First time checking out this YT channel. BTW-nice swing-you obviously are a very good player.
...it’s like the alarm clock,5 more minutes man
My daughter said “Hi Erik, I’m Ady.” She obviously wants to start some dialogue!
You should hit a golf ball off the Foresthill Bridge like Vin Diesel's Ferrari in XXX. Highest bridge in America. (40 mins east of Sacramento, 40 mins west of Lake Tahoe
Pala-bor-wah hehe :)
"Yaku" lol. His name is Jaco :D
Do you know about the very unusual golf course in Yellowknife, NWT.? Thanks, I’ve enjoyed your vlog.
Freaking Wow
I’m sure his name is Jaco, not Yaku
Hi could you consider coming to kisumu, it's a beautiful course in Kenya with siting of hippos
It would great to see the cart out run a lion. That would be impressive.
If you want to play with more animals. Play at Skukuza Golf Club!!
You made it to South Africa! Trust your experience was memorable. Let me just add that it is pronounced: P - as in pumpkin, H - silent, ALA - said as is read, B - as in the b in badge, O - said together as OR (like this 'or' that), R - said as in ruby, WA - said as is read. P-H-A-L-A-B-O-R-W-A. PEACE FROM PORT ELIZABETH
4 legged animal footprint🤔
Real life don Todd
your hat is from my home club
You should come to South Africa and play golf with me at Steyn City
No ways, they have a bunch of golf courses that are very similar to Steyn City all over the world. The only interesting thing about it, is the elevation changes. Other than that, Steyn City is pretty generic. Don't get me wrong though, it is a lovely course, but it's nothing special really.
Bru Steyn City,Serengeti are similar really,except for the luscious all season green laws.
I was told pretty much all courses in the US have similar turf and scenery.
Courses like Merensky,Leopard Creek, and a bit of Sun/Lost City offer something of a different feel altogether.
On the lighter side, I’ll take you on at Steyn,Serengeti,Copperleaf,Eye Of Africa and Ebotse any day bru😉👊🏿
From one PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN GOLF NUT🇿🇦🤙🏿
Like if South African
I really miss the travel portion of these episodes
Eric, i live in South Africa. Please come play with me?!
Great video! Come check out Great Rift Valley Golf resort here in Kenya. We got wildlife on the course and proper greens with holes in them!
what is his handicap?
Who's paying for these trips? Really curious, I love this channel but I'm not sure how it's profitable.
Give yourself 30 putts👍
hi, south african here. not all of our courses are this shitty but many of them are way worse
This episode would be so much cooler if you could actually hole 🕳putts.
Skukuza is way more dangerous
🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
I’m South African and you spelt Yaku wrong it’s not spelt like that it’s spelt like Jaco
This place is a putting zoo
