Trout National - The Reserve is a private 18-hole golf course that was constructed in 2024 and recently opened for play in April 2026.  Construction of hospitality and adjacent areas continue for a grand opening in 2027.  Three-time league MVP Mike Trout and 15-time major champion Tiger Woods teamed up to create the ultimate golf experience in south Jersey.    Visit the website below for more information about the club.
