Ultra-exclusive ~250-member club considered the home course of Tiger Woods and Greg Norman, with a membership roll that has included Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Justin Thomas, Dustin Johnson, and Rickie Fowler; hosted 'The Match: Champions for Charity' (Woods/Manning vs. Mickelson/Brady) in 2020.
This course is in our GSPro library — pull it up in any bay and play it wall to wall.
"One of the most tour-pro-dense private clubs in the country — Tiger's current home course, so it comes up constantly on golf social media. Designed by Pete Dye and Greg Norman (a common misconception credits Fazio)."
Pete Dye and Greg Norman's first design collaboration (1995), set in the scruffy, marsh-dotted sand scrub of Hobe Sound on Florida's Treasure Coast. Norman spent years softening Dye's edges until critics said the course had lost its personality; Bobby Weed's 2015 renovation deliberately restored the 1995 look — lowered, smaller greens open in front, revetted bunker walls, firm running turf, restored marsh vistas. It's best known now as the home course of Tiger Woods, Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka and half the world's top pros, and as the stage for the Tiger/Peyton vs. Phil/Brady Match in 2020.
Low handicaps who want to feel what Tiger's daily test is like, and Dye devotees curious about the restored original. Not a casual-round course.
The signature is the whole examination rather than one hole: angled, open-front greens that demand the correct side of broad fairways, hazards biting the inside corners to tempt big carries, and Pinehurst-like run-offs that make recovery the most interesting shot in the round.
Built to test tour players: stretches toward 7,600 yards, firm and windy, with sandy waste and marsh punishing misses. Ground-game greens give shorter hitters options, but this is a hard course.
Florida course, but Hobe Sound is a 3-hour cross-state haul and it's invite-only regardless — the bay is realistically the only way a Wesley Chapel golfer plays Medalist.
In GSPro via community recreation — which matters, because you will never get on the real thing. It plays long, firm and exacting in the sim; queue it up for Clubhouse's low-handicap crowd and anyone who wants to compare cards with Tiger's home track.
One of Florida's most private clubs — member invitation only, no public access of any kind. Televised events like The Match are how most people see it.
