The Grove XXIII

The Grove XXIII by runpuddrun. In the Fall of 2019, Michael Jordan opened his very own 18-hole golf club named Grove XXIII - the Roman numeral representing the number Jordan wore with the Chicago Bulls. The ingenious Grove XXIII design celebrates the centripetal force of gravity and twists in an ingenious double-helix routing that can be played in four different nine and nine combinations, and in shorter three- to six-hole loops. All short grass and sophistication the Grove XXIII club's fairways are unsurprisingly sleek with Weed's par 72 routing rife with hollows, depressions and shallow scoop bunkers that gather any misplaced shots. In an era when nearly every new or remodeled course bears a naturalistic or faux-historical style and visual aesthetic, the 6,963-yard Grove XXIII layout is clean and contemporary.
