Trout National — The Reserve is getting closer to becoming a reality.
Last week, TGR Design released the routing and design for the new 18-hole, par-72 golf course project by Millville baseball icon Mike Trout and golf legend Tiger Woods. The course will run through two unique natural landscapes, giving distinct character to the course. Trout National, which is being built on the site of a former silica sand mine and is surrounded by forest and farmland, is expected to be open for member play in 2025.
In July, the Vineland Planning Board approved an application for the construction of a 7,260-square-foot administration building, a 7,600-square-foot equipment building, a 3,870-square-foot storage and wash building, a 2,890-square-foot storage bin building, a 4,950-square-foot outpost building and a 940-square-foot pump station at the site.
Woods and Trout are partnering with local developer John Ruga, owner of Northeast Precast, for the project. In addition to the 18-hole championship course, Trout National will include a practice range, short-game area, clubhouse, restaurant, lodging and a wedding chapel.
