One of the most private golf clubs in the world will be showcased this weekend at the ‘TaylorMade Driving Relief’ charity skins match as Seminole Golf Club opens its doors for the first time to a global audience.

Seminole Golf Club is one of the ‘big four’ exclusive golf clubs in the U.S., along with Augusta National, Pine Valley and Cypress Point Club, and for many golf junkies, the real treat on Sunday will be getting to see the famed course which will also host the Walker Cup in 2021.

Ahead of Sunday’s charity skins match, the four men who will battle it out have been sharing their thoughts on the ocean course, and what viewers can expect to see this weekend.

Rory McIlroy

“I think it’s designed by Donald Ross, and I think it’s Donald Ross’s greatest course he ever designed. He had a wonderful piece o land beside the Atlantic Ocean, and he probably — some of the best green complexes in the world in terms of, you know, the thought that need to go into playing your second shots into the greens and then just how thoughtful you need to be on the greens and around the greens.

“I putted off the fifth green from about 30 feet. If the wind gets up and the greens are as fast as they were last Friday — birdies might be hard to come by, but there are going to be some chances.”

I’ve actually played there on Friday with Justin Thomas and Jimmy Dunne, who is the club president and Tom Brady who is a new member, actually. I putted off the fifth green from about 30 feet. If the wind gets up and the greens are as fast as they were last Friday — birdies might be hard to come by, but there are going to be some chances. But it’s going to play fast and fix and looks like it will be a little breezy on Sunday, so it will be a good test for everyone.”

Rickie Fowler

“I love Seminole. It’s just a fun golf course to play. It’s very much a second-shot or approach-shot golf course. I’d say it’s fairly forgiving off the tee, but how the greens are kind of designed, they’re pretty good sized, but as far as where you can land the ball and keep the ball on the green, kind of similar to a Pinehurst No. 2 in a way.

A lot of balls will roll and feed off, whether it’s back down through the fairway into bunkers, and that’s where it can get tough, especially if the wind is up, but it doesn’t look like it’s supposed to be too windy on Sunday. Yeah, I think you’re going to see us having some fun off the tee, and then from there is where things will get separated on approach shots and putting.”

Dustin Johnson

“Seminole is a special place, and fortunately for us we live right down the street from it. I’ve gotten to play it quite a few times, and it’s a course you always enjoy playing. It’s got tons of history.

“The greens are always so fast, it’s a little windy … I always struggle there.”

When you first get there and you look at it, you think, OK, I should tear this place up, but then when you get done playing, you add your score up and it’s never very good, especially because the greens are always so fast, it’s a little windy … I always struggle there. ”

Matthew Wolff

“Both times I played it the weather was really nice, so I haven’t really played it in high winds yet. I’ve always been told, that the wind is one of its biggest defenses. I’m not sure what the weather is supposed to be like on Sunday, but I think that if the wind blows it’s going to be a difficult course.

“The greens are extremely difficult. They’re very sloped, a lot of subtle breaks, and I’ve even heard that people putt the ball often off the green and into bunkers.”

But also the greens are extremely difficult. They’re very sloped, a lot of subtle breaks, and I’ve even heard that people putt the ball often off the green and into bunkers. I don’t think you’re going to see that from us, but it’s definitely something that I think putting is a huge advantage there. We’ll see what the weather brings because I think that’s going to be the biggest factor in whether there’s a lot of birdies or we’re playing more for defense and just to make a bunch of pars.”
