Hazeltine National Golf Club in Chaska, Minnesota, has revealed long-range plans to add new facilities, including a short course, putting green, golf performance centre, villas and an enhanced club entrance.
Last year, the club agreed a long-term partnership with Love Golf Design to reimagine the championship course for the 2029 Ryder Cup.
The design firm is part of Hazeltine’s new ‘Vision 2040’, which includes a new 10-hole par-three course and 32,000-square-foot putting green. Ground was broken on the short course in June 2024; the completed layout will include five double greens and 18 bunkers, with minimal rough and no defined tee boxes or water hazards.
The undulating putting green will be 130 yards in length, and located between the short course and new villas. It will also have low-profile lighting for evening play.
The golf performance centre, which will open in winter 2025, comprises a 9,000-square-foot facility with seven simulators and a 1,600-square-foot putting area. Patio seating will overlook the short course.
Hazeltine club president Dan Mulheran said: “This plan clearly aligns with our mission and core tenets and is a tremendous accomplishment for our membership and partners. Through Vision 2040, we aim to cement Hazeltine as the premier championship private golf facility in the country.”
Construction has also started on six four-bedroom villas, to be completed by summer 2025, and a new club entrance is also expected to be ready at the same time.
