Tiger Woods' first U.S. golf course design includes mini Fenway Park
Tiger Woods’ first course design in the United States offers more than just golf.
Sure, golf is still the centerpiece of the new Bluejack National, which is located just outside of Houston in Montgomery, Texas, but this isn’t your normal country club. According to Golf Digest, Bluejack will also offer a practice course, skate park, zip lining, tree houses and ... a miniature Fenway Park for Wiffle ball games.
“He did a helluva job with this design,” former PGA Tour player Dave Stockton Jr. told Golf Digest of Woods’ design. “It did have the feel of Augusta National with the pine trees and elevation changes and the slopes.”
He added: “It’s really impressive. There is a relaxed feel. If you want to wear jeans, fine. You want to wear your shirt untucked, fine. Look at golf today. Why is the game struggling to find new people to come play? Maybe they don’t want to get dressed up. Today’s kids, and some adults, want a little more relaxed attitude.”
Stockton held a clinic at the opening last week, and former President George W. Bush was one of the first to try out the new course. And soon people can hit a home run over the Green Monster there as well.
