Trout National-The Reserve has unveiled a course routing established by Tiger Woods’ TGR Design. The southern New Jersey course is a collaboration involving Major League Baseball star Mike Trout and local partner and businessman John Ruga.
The 18-hole, par-72 layout is routed through two unique natural landscapes giving distinct character to the course. A former silica sand mine and rambling farmland offers ample playable sandy waste areas as well as sprawling fairways with multiple routes from tee to green. Large and undulating greens with low-cut surrounds will provide shot options around putting surfaces.
“Some of my favorite golf experiences have been ones that have challenged my game while still having fun and that’s what we wanted to create at Trout National-The Reserve,” Trout said. “Tiger, John and I walked hole by hole and this course will do just that. Our vision and his design is creating something special here in my hometown.”
Construction is scheduled to be completed in 2025.
“Mike and John found a site with a lot of character to make some outstanding golf holes,” Woods said. “The sandy and diverse terrain has so many great natural features that have given us a lot of options on how to create a world-class golf course.”
Accompanying the 18-hole championship golf course, the golf offerings at Trout National-The Reserve will also include a flexible short course and expansive putting course along with world-class practice facilities and performance center.
“The land that is home to Trout National-The Reserve has great history here in the city of Vineland,” Ruga said. “Tiger and his team were able to incorporate the history and let the land shine through in this championship golf course. It will truly be a memorable experience on the course.”
