The Grove XXIII - Michael Jordan's club? Any info?

[Frank Sullivan]

I had not heard about this golf course until I saw this article today on Yahoo.  Mickelson is joining and I imagine it is more for the benefits of being in an ultra exclusive club owned by Jordan, and extreme betting opportunities (just a hunch) as opposed to any architectural significance.  Just curious to see if the treehouse has any information on the architect and/or the design.  Thanks! 


(Sorry if this has been covered...a quick site search didn't turn up anything)

Here is an aerial of the course for those curious.  Found on google earth. Never heard anything about this course until today.

Referemce the google map image above. if you are at the I-96 interchange with Bridge Rd (Fl 708) it is about a mile east and 2 or 3 miles north. Interesting use of aircraft carrier tees across the canals on the west and north sides of the course.  (Bridge Rd leads from the Interstate to Hobe Sound.) Also on microsoft virtual earth.


The elevated clubhouse also is flood-proof from hurricanes, ala Wolf Point

I am not sure there are enough bunkers or water hazards to make it interesting

The article lost me when I read this little preposterous bit...

" There are water hazards, but they don’t really come into play, says Weed."

A golfing friend played here recently and said he really liked it.  Thought it could be one of the top 10 in Florida. Said greens were very good, his criticism was too many forced carries.
Anyone play it have a view?

I know a couple of guys who have played it. They said it was a great experience but I think it was more about Jordan than the course.
