TGR Design’s website says the club will have “unparalleled 360-degree views of the Uinta Mountains, Jordanelle Reservoir, Deer Valley Resort and Heber Valley… Marcella Club will have some of the most spectacular views in all of golf.” “.

The site also says that the course “has been routed to take advantage of the incredible long-range views while incorporating contrasting intimate valleys between the ridges to create a truly unique and memorable golf experience.

“The course will provide a severe test for low-handicap golfers, but it will also present a fun, family-friendly experience to allow people of all levels to come together and enjoy the course.”

For those looking to play the course, TGR Design provides a better perspective of what to expect.

‘The championship course will feature generous landing areas that will help players keep the ball in play while challenging them with strategic options and angles off the tee for the best scoring opportunities.

“The greens will vary in size and contour to reinforce tee shot strategy, but with the surrounding area of ​​the green well-cut, players who miss the green will be able to use their creativity to make interesting recoveries.

“The partnership between the Marcella Club and Tiger will be the premier golf experience in the Mountain West, resulting in a championship course that takes full advantage of Utah’s stunning setting and is strategically designed for everyone to play.”

This development will mark the first course that Woods will design in the mountains.

Woods says he’s “extremely selective” in the projects he takes on when it comes to design.

Woods further elaborated on his thought process and choice of venue in a press release.

“I am fortunate with many design opportunities, but I am extremely selective in the projects I accept,” Woods’ statement read.

‘Two key factors for me are being able to work with great partners on great properties. My team has built a great relationship with our partners at Marcella.

‘That being said, I am delighted with the location of this property. The canvas of my course is one of the most spectacular I have seen.

“It has ridges with some of the most breathtaking 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 is something special.”

This is the ninth course that TGR Design will build.

In addition to Marcella, TGR has built Bluejack National in Texas, Payne’s Valley in Missouri, The Hay at Pebble Beach in California, a complete restoration of the South Shore & Jackson Park golf course in Illinois, Jack’s Bay in the Bahamas and three courses in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico.

Excluding his private driving range, this will be the ninth course Woods will design.
