Ultimate Off-Road Golf in Utah | Adventures in Golf Season 5
We’ve never seen an off-road golf hole quite like this before.
Scenic Utah welcomes Erik Anders Lang on this Adventures in Golf, presented by United Airlines.
Erik visits the city of Moab, where year-round outdoor activities make it one of the top tourist attractions in the U.S.
By a stroke of luck, Erik finds a spot to tee it up at a course called The Hideout, home to Utah’s most elevated green.
Before he departs for his next Adventure, Erik takes the Jeep off-road and creates a makeshift par-4 at one of Utah’s most recognized landmarks, Eye of the Whale.

I play this course for my golf season!!
//////////////////・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・・ＮＯ THANK YOU ＤＡＹ ＦＯＲ ＦＯＯＤＳ ？
Pretty sure the local dispensary is the highest green in Utah.
Love that place
Eal do put the ball trackers on the video it will get a much better feel for the viewers !
Southern Utah is Mecca
You should be wearing a mask in the coffee shop. Not wearing one is incredibly selfish and irresponsible, Erik.
Strike one: No mask Strike two: Illegally flying a drone in a national park
They didn't see the disappearing lady
1. This is awesome but Is it legal to hit a golf ball in an area people could be walking/camping? 2 . Please see question 1 lol
Cool, don't understand the long sleeves though…..feel hot just watching…
You make the best golf content, period.
Such an awesome channel, never gets old and deserves more views!
Almost as if we weren't in the middle of a pandemic with rising cases. Good to see everyone doing their part.
go play valley view or bountiful ridge in utah some great courses
C'mon Eric be better, wear your mask man.
My Dad's best friend Russ reminds me SO MUCH of Erik. Same humor, great golfer and somewhat unscrupulous in all the right ways. Russ was known to sometimes play a quick "extra" round of golf after an initial round and he was a natural adventurer. Russ sadly died from cancer a year ago and my Dad was really heart broken. I'm so excited to share this series with my Dad because Erik really feels like Russ's little brother, and he even looks like him and laughs the same way, it's crazy. I was close to Russ myself as we traveled a lot and played golf many times when I was a kid in California, Nevada, Utah and Arizona. Watching this series is like visiting an old friend for me and I really hope one day Erik and my Dad can play a round together. I know that it would bring my Dad immense joy.
OMFG my uncle lives in moab
Vice should give this guy a tv deal. This show would be so perfect for that company
Best golf course 🙌❤️😁in moab of course… 😆
Anyone know if EAL is an anti-masker? Seeing him in the coffee shop w/o one looks odd.
America's the only place you'll see petrol powered golf carts lmao
I was the Interp Ranger in this video, no longer active with NPS. In this video there are some troubling aspects of the way you choose to recreate in the Park. The first is that in the desert, there really is no such thing as a biodegradable golf ball. Things may take decades to decompose. I strongly encourage you to read up on Leave No Trace principles that apply to desert ecosystems and pack out all trash and human waste. This area has experienced a remarkable boom in tourism and it critical for people to treat the land with respect if it is to not be simply eroded away.
In the Moab area especially there is a factor essential to all life we call cryptobiotic soil. It is a living growth of organisms that keep the loosely consolidated sand from simply blowing away. This crypto is very delicate and walking on it destroys what represents decades of life struggling to be successful. Without crypto, plants cannot collect nutrients and as a result, valuable food and shelter for rodents and lizards is taken away. By golfing, you open up the risk of having to trample this cryptobiotic soil to recover your ball off-trail.
For similar reasons drones are banned at Arches National Park. Aside from this being an FAA regulation, it introduces the risk of harm to the resource. Drones often need to be recovered off-trail and as a result, extensive damage to the cryptobiotic soil occurs. Drones tend to run hot as well, introducing the risk of a wildfire igniting if the drone lands in dry brush (which is everywhere). Major wildfires rocked this region and others like it throughout the summer, most of which were the results of human negligence. In other words, only youtubers like you can prevent them.
The last thing, and perhaps the most troubling is that you put other visitor's safety at risk. I would hope you simply edited out the part of the video where you checked to make sure nobody was scrambling up the formation on the other side of Eye of the Whale Arch. Somebody could've fallen 20 feet or so onto hard slickrock and been left injured hours from a team of first responders and transport to definitive care. Please, always assume you can hurt somebody by blindly launching projectiles around places where people scramble or climb.
I hope you consider some of what I shared and choose to educate yourself and your viewers on these topics. Golf takes up so much land and water already, why not just use those areas?
Love the adventure part of these VLOG's. Erik takes us all to the most wonderous places, and we all get to meet the nicest people. Thank you again EAL for taking us along.
Great eagle dude!!! Gotta be the course record!
Please tell me you didn't hit that chip off that lie with the wedge Miura San custom made for you. That would be a crime against humanity.
Love the videos but let's be honest you made two shots at the eye of the whale 🐋
I am surprised that the Canyon's course #3 is not the highest green in Utah. Monticello is a hidden gem.
Ryan looks like a taller white ludacris
4:20 image is from arches national park (three gossips rock) north of moab by ~5 miles vs the ~35 miles south that you were at (Church Rock). you have the actual spot displayed at the 9:55 mark
For those that haven't been, a must do trip. Moab and the Arches are amazing. Plus, you can find real dino tracks…an added bonus
