About Payne’s Valley
Payne’s Valley is Tiger’s first public golf course that he designed as a tribute to the late Payne Stewart, who is from the Ozarks.
“Payne’s Valley is the first public golf course that I have designed. I couldn’t be prouder of how it turned out. It was an honor for me and my TGR Design team to work with Johnny Morris and Big Cedar Lodge on this spectacular golf course. I am thrilled that it will be featured during the Payne’s Valley Cup,” said Woods.
