9 Holes, 9 Birdies: Erik Anders Lang’s All-Day Golf Challenge

Erik Anders Lang attempts to birdie every hole at Northwood Golf Course—no mulligans, just pure golf among the redwoods.

What happens when you challenge yourself to birdie every hole at one of the most scenic 9-hole courses in the world?

Erik Anders Lang, founder of Random Golf Club, finds out in this beautifully shot and surprisingly intense video filmed at Northwood Golf Course in California.

Designed by the legendary Alister MacKenzie and nestled among towering redwoods, Northwood is as much a spiritual experience as it is a golf course.

Armed with patience, persistence, and a whole lot of putts, Erik sets out to birdie all nine holes—no mulligans, no shortcuts. Some holes fall quickly, others put up a fight, but the journey is what makes this video so compelling.

Despite the huge trees, we’re surprised Lang doesn’t get more aggressive on some of these holes. We’re thinking proximity to the hole off the tee is the key here.
