Black Desert Resort Golf Course Featured in Pre-Masters Show "The Masterful Tom Weiskopf" Scheduled to Open in May

Black Desert Resort Golf Course was featured in the lead-up to Sunday’s Masters coverage during Jim Nantz Remembers Augusta: The Masterful Tom Weiskopf, which aired on CBS from 1 to 2 p.m. EST.

The course features two drivable par 4s – the 5th hole and 14th hole – a Weiskopf hallmark, bringing both strategy and risk/reward elements into play.

That’s huge, as players who go for this green in two average about one-quarter of a stroke better than those who lay up.
