At one point, pro golf legend Gary Player said in a commercial about World Golf Village: 'If you love golf, you've got to go.' Not enough did.
As visitation dropped to a low of 40,000 during 2020 , other features of the property began to die off:was allowed to grow to weeds and the"Challenge Hole" in the middle of the lake in the center of the complex went unused.
• And perhaps the biggest clue was in 2018, which ended a 20-year, $40 million corporate sponsorship with Shell: the VillageAlso in question is the future of the two golf courses co-designed by Hall of Fame members, the Slammer & Squire and the King & Bear . "There was a time when it all meshed together very well and we helped each other," said Harbin, who now owns the Pine Ridge Golf Course in Paris, Texas, and is a PGA of America board member."We delivered people visiting the Hall of Fame and the Hall gave the golf courses credibility. That time has passed and I think the golf courses can stand on their own. They have a great reputation and with the population growth, I think they can sustain themselves.
And that's no accident — because part of the current inventory of exhibits will have already been shipped to Pinehurst, the famed resort in the Sand Belt of North Carolina, to be stored at the USGA's"Golf House." “There’s no better connection to golf’s past, present and future than Pinehurst, and no organization that works harder than the USGA to preserve the history of this great game. We look forward to celebrating the greatest moments, and golf’s greatest athletes, by including the World Golf Hall of Fame as an important part of our new Pinehurst home,” said Mike Whan, CEO of the USGA, in a statement.
