Tiger Woods and TGR Design will design an 18-hole private course at Brookville’s former Tam O’Shanter Country Club, Greater Long Island reported November 3. The Armchair Collective bought the 148-acre property in September.
The redevelopment plans include a clubhouse, golf performance center, practice facilities and cottages for members and guests. Historic farm buildings would be reused, including a milk barn overlooking a planned putting area.
The former club closed in 2021. Site preparation and demolition are reported underway, while course construction is expected in 2027. The village mayor told Newsday that the developer still needs to file for permits; this remains a private club project.

It's time to set up your holiday streaming campaign
Are you ready to reach holiday shoppers on CTV? For many streamers, the season is already underway.
Last year, according to Roku internal data, holiday content searches on Roku saw an 86% increase during October. And in November, those searches rise an average of 39% weekly. This surging holiday spirit is mirrored by consumer activity, as about half of Roku streamers shopped Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals in 2025.
Meeting those shoppers is easier than you might think. Begin with the seasonal outcome you hope to drive: awareness, online sales, leads, store visits, or another measurable goal. From there, define your audience, upload your creative, set the budget and campaign dates, and establish measurement before launching. You can even create a shoppable ad unit that lets streamers buy with a click of their remote.
Our holiday playbook offers a month-by-month guide to reaching shoppers during this all-important time of year.
