Tiger Woods Gives His Architectural Opinion.

Tiger Woods surveys his Payne’s Valley public golf course design PHOTOS: Tiger Woods’ first public golf course design is almost finished “I have wide landing areas, open green fronts, and tightly mowed green surroundings,” he said.

Open green fronts allow for golf balls to be bounced up onto the greens adding to the available shot options and giving shorter hitters an alternative to the high shot with lots of spin.” Case in point: the drivable par-4 3rd at Payne Valley, which has a sprawling landing area and no water hazards; Woods positioned the hole early in the round to give players a chance to get off to a good start.
