Who’s Ready to Play a Round at Tiger Wood’s First Public Golf Course?

Playing golf since the age of two, Tiger Woods certainly knows his way around a green. Now, the 15-time major champion has designed his very own 19-hole course—and you can be among the first to tee it up.

Payne’s Valley, one of five courses located at the Big Cedar Lodge in Missouri, will officially launch in 2020, but is now open for “preview play” through till December 31. During the exclusive experience, golfers can play the first 13 holes and take a self-guided tour of the remaining six to see if Tiger’s work is up to par.

The new course will be defined by a dramatic bridge on the 5th hole and several water features—including natural lakes and waterfalls—which serve to connect golfers to nature while they’re putting away. There’s also a turn station between the 9th and 10th holes serving the best local fare. Should players wish to stay overnight, Big Cedar Lodge offers log cabins tucked in the woods, cozy lakeside cottages, grand lodges and even a whimsical spa cottage and historic civil war-era cabin overlooking the Ozarks.
