The Armchair Collective, a private golf club and lifestyle company, unveiled plans for an 18-hole course designed by Tiger Woods and TGR Design on the site of the former Tam O'Shanter Country Club in Brookville, New York. Site preparation and demolition work are already under way.
Why it matters
The project revives a long-closed club on the North Shore of Long Island, a region with a deep golf tradition, and adds a high-profile Tiger Woods design to the national private-club landscape. It also signals continued investment in premium golf real estate in the United States.
The announced plan calls for 18 holes and a 20,000-square-foot Himalayas-inspired putting green on a site that has been closed since 2021. The developer has not yet disclosed the club's name or released conceptual renderings, which are expected in early 2027.
The players
Tiger Woods
Tiger Woods is a 15-time major championship winner and one of the most recognized golfers in history, now lending his name to course design.
The Armchair Collective
The Armchair Collective is a private golf club and lifestyle company behind the redevelopment of the former Tam O'Shanter site.
TGR Design
TGR Design is the course-design firm led by Tiger Woods and his design partners, responsible for the new layout.
The details
The redevelopment will completely redesign the former Tam O'Shanter layout and add a golf performance centre, a new clubhouse, and member cottages. Golf course construction is planned to begin in 2027.
Timeline
2021: Tam O'Shanter Country Club closed.
November 2, 2026: Plans unveiled and site demolition begun.
Early 2027: Club name and conceptual renderings to be revealed.
2027: Golf course construction planned to begin.
Season Trajectory
The project extends the TGR Design portfolio of Woods-led courses into a new private-club redevelopment on Long Island's North Shore. It follows the continued trend of high-profile designers reviving closed private clubs for affluent members.
Members of the future club will gain access to a performance centre, new clubhouse, and member cottages alongside the redesigned course. Golfers in the region should expect the reopened course to be a privately accessible destination rather than a public facility.
The takeaway
Long-closed private clubs can be revived through ambitious redesigns led by marquee names, and the Brookville project will be a test case for that model on Long Island. Readers following golf real estate should watch for the early 2027 reveal of the club's name and renderings.
What happens next
Construction is planned to begin in 2027, and the club's name and conceptual renderings are expected to be revealed in early 2027.
