"A vision turned into reality" - Mike Trout celebrates completion of his long-awaited golf course designed by Tiger Woods
Angels ace slugger Mike Trout celebrated the completion of his long-awaited golf course designed by legendary golfer Tiger Woods. The duo had announced this amazing project last year. The new private golf club is built in Southern New Jersey.
Trout's dream of creating his own golf course was effectively realized by Tiger Woods, who alongside his firm TGR Design, completed the project, which is due to be opened early next year. Mike Trout took to Instagram story to announce the news.
"A vision turned into reality. Thanks to @tigerwoods and the team at @tgr.design. This place is special."
The club is built at Trout's birthplace in Vineland, New Jersey. Trout grew up just seven miles away from the club's location in Millville, N.J.
He still resides in the area with his wife Jessica and two kids as do his siblings and both their sets of parents, which makes this 18-hole golf course's location extra special for the Angels OF.
Reflecting on his dream project 'Trout National - The Reserve' designed by Tiger Woods and his firm TGR Design, via a news release in March 2023, Mike Trout had said:
"I could put down roots anywhere in the country, but Jessica and I make south Jersey our off-season home and always cherish the time we get to spend there. I love south Jersey and I love golf, so creating Trout National-The Reserve is a dream come true.
"And then to add to that we'll have a golf course designed by Tiger? It's just incredible to think that this project has grown to where we're going to be working with someone many consider the greatest and most influential golfer of all time."
Facilities at Mike Trout's dream golf course designed by Tiger Woods
Trout National - The Reserve is a fully functional 18-hole golf course in New Jersey with state-of-the-art facilities. The club features an expansive driving range with complete mesh protection, practice range, short-game area and a wedding chapel, as per reports.
It also features a well equipped and fully operational luxurious lodging space on the premises of the golf club, which has a cafe and dining areas. Trout has been a lifelong fan of the sport. When not crushing baseballs inside the diamonds, you can find him smashing golf balls in a driving range.
