Pacific Links International has enlisted the help of Tiger Woods and his company TGR Design to design one of two gold courses at the Makaha Valley Resort on the Leeward Coast of Oahu. Woods and TGR Design will be the lead architects for the Makaha North Course, while Gil Hanse of Hanse Golf Course Design will design the Makaha South Course. Both courses are part of a mixed-use redevelopment that will include a golf club, restaurants, a health and wellness center, time share units, golf villas, and residential units.
The redevelopment project has been in the works for a few years now, with different course designers initially. However Du Sha, Pacific Links founder and owner, announced earlier this week that Woods and TGR Design would be one of the courses at the resort.
Woods said in a statement that "The Makaha Valley on the west coast of Oahu is truly one of these unique and special locations...The cathedral-like setting of the property is framed with big ocean views to the west and towering mountains to the east." He said “we are designing a golf course that will take advantage of this spectacular setting yet still be fun and playable for golfers of all abilities."
TGR Design has already released initial renderings for the course on their website.
