Woods’ new Utah course to feature 700 yard hole

Fifteen-time major champion Tiger Woods has announced he is designating a new course in Utah, and it appears it will be extraordinary in more ways than one.

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. pic.twitter.com/s0b9f5phqQ

As well as the Park City course promising an abundance of stunning views, including the Uinta Mountains and Jordanelle Reservoir, it will not be lacking in yardage either, with one hole measuring over 700 yards.

The course will be over 8,000 yards from the Championship tees, making it one of the longest courses in the state. Meanwhile, those hoping for a gentle introduction to their round will instead be faced with 660-yard par 5 beast.

It will have five par 5s, each exceeding 600 yards, while the 10th would probably be enough to bring Bryson DeChambeau out in a cold sweat – a 702-yard monster to introduce the back nine.

A few years ago, Woods, the legendary golfer, considered one of the best to ever play the game, predicted that 8,000-yard golf courses were not too far away.
