Tiger Woods' Utah course to play over 8,000 yards from the tee
Tiger Woods' course design company TGR would be adding a mountain course to the private community called the Marcella Club in Park City, Utah. The course will be Woods' fourth 18-hole design and the first one on the mountains.
The course will stretch over 8000 yards from the back tees, with every par over 600 yards. Also, there'll be a hole 10, which will stretch over 700 yards, and a hole 15, which will stretch over 292 yards. Park City is 7000 feet above sea level.
Tiger Woods expressed his exaltation after collaborating with the Marcella Club on the project. He also spoke about the weather conditions in Utah.
“I couldn’t be more excited to be partnering with Marcella Club to design and create a new championship golf course just outside Park City…Utah is an incredible place, with favorable year-round weather that offers opportunities to be active outdoors throughout all four seasons—golfing, skiing, biking, hiking, and fishing—the list goes on and on. I’m thrilled to be designing a course in such a special location; this new course is uniquely beautiful and will offer engaging play for every ability,” Woods said, via Golf Digest.
Tiger Woods also owns the Bluejack National Club and Community, which was a private course in Texas. TGR’s first project was the Trump World Golf Club and the other courses were El Cardonal at Diamante, Payne's Valley, and more.
Tiger Woods’ website provides details about his new venture in Utah
Tigerwoods.com stated that the course in Utah will provide an experience that's favorable for both professional and amateur golfers, via the PGA Tour.
“The course has been routed to take advantage of the incredible long-range vistas while also incorporating contrasting intimate valleys between the ridges to create a truly unique and memorable golf experience. The course will provide a stern test for low handicap golfers, yet also present a fun, family friendly experience to allow individuals of all skill levels to come together and enjoy the course,” the website wrote.
It continued, “The championship course will feature generous landing areas helping players to keep the ball in play while still challenging players with strategic choices and angles off the tee for the best opportunities to score. The greens will vary in size and contouring to reinforce the tee shot strategy, but with green surrounds mowed tight, players missing the green will be able to use their creativity to make interesting recoveries.”
Finally, the source stated that the collaboration between Woods and the Marcella Club will provide a premium experience to all. The Utah setting will add a scenic touch and the course will be the best fit to play with friends and family in the Mountain West.
