Two 18-hole golf courses designed by Tiger Woods are coming to Florida. Pair of courses at the new PopStroke recreation center in Sarasota, Fla. It is scheduled to open on April 28.
Woods and businessman Greg Bartoli co-own PopStroke Entertainment Group, a “golf and fine dining concept”, according to CNN. Woods has been designing golf courses since 2006, but PopStroke gave him his first chance to design golf courses.
There are two courses created for two distinct difficulty levels. First, there’s a “Tiger Red Course” that will challenge “even the most experienced golfers with strong contours and difficult hole positions.” Additionally, there will be a “Tiger Black Course” that has “softened the contours to create a course ideal for families and anyone new to golf.”
“We’re excited to introduce PopStroke to the Sarasota community as we continue to expand,” Woods said in a press release. “PopStroke is about bringing friends and family together to create lasting memories around the game of golf.”
PopStroke courses are designed with synthetic turf in mind, along with the straight lines, bunkers, and rough areas you’ll often find on traditional golf courses.
PopStroke expects to open six more locations across the US over the next 18 months.
