Tiger Woods To Design Golf Course At Mayflower Ski Area’s Marcella Club
Woods and his TGR Designc ompany announced Tuesday their next project will be at the Marcella Club in Park City, Utah. Marcella Club is the real estate development at the Mayflower ski resort. The ski resort is hoping to open during the 2024-25 season.
Mayflower Mountain Resort, is located in the MIDA Project Area, Wasatch County, Utah. It will be North America’s newest world-class alpine village to be developed since 1981
The Village will include ski infrastructure with several new ski lifts allowing skiers and mountain bikers access to extensive terrain, both summer and winter, while overlooking the Jordanelle Reservoir.
This reimagined resort village concept will feature multiple luxury and lifestyle-branded hotels and more than 1,000 private residences ranging from estate lots to luxury condominiums.
Extell Development Company will set the new standard for excellence among the world’s alpine resorts at Mayflower Mountain Resort.
Marcella Club is honored to partner with 82- time PGA TOUR winner, Tiger Woods , and his golf course design firm, TGR Design, for their first mountain course design.
Woods said ” I’m excited to announce my latest golf course design project at Marcella Club in Park City, Utah!
“The course will offer engaging play for every ability. My intent is to create a world-class golf experience to pair with Marcella Club’s vision for modern luxury living.’
Woods added, “I am fortunate with many design opportunities, but I’m extremely selective in which projects I take on. Two key factors for me are being able to work with great partners on great properties. My team has built a superb relationship with our partners on Marcella."
"That said, I am thrilled about the location of this property. The canvas for my course is one of the most dramatic I’ve ever seen. It has ridgelines with some of the most stunning views in the world, valleys with amazing contours and topography, and groves of trees that allow me to use creativity to bring to life a golf experience that’s something special.”
The cornerstone of the Marcella Club will be the first mountain course design for Tiger and TGR Design. 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 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.
The partnership between Marcella Club and Tiger will be the premier golf experience in the Mountain West resulting in a championship course that will fully take advantage of the stunning Utah setting and be strategically designed to be playable for all.
Progress has already begun on the course and when it is complete, the Marcella golf experience will be unparalleled as it traverses valleys , beautiful groves of trees, and a ridge line that offers some of the most dramatic views of any golf course in the world.
The partnership between Marcella and TGR Design is one based on a love of golf and dedication to creating an experience that is both challenging and fun for golfers of all abilities.
