THE STORY OF STORM KING
A 130-YEAR JOURNEY TO GOLF REIMAGINED™
For more than a century, Storm King was a quiet country club. The course you can play today is the result of just a few transformative years — and the people who saw the FUTURE OF GOLF IN THE LAND.
FROM COUNTRY CLUB TO FOUNDATION
AN EVOLVING STEWARDSHIP
The 130-year journey of Storm King Golf Club in Cornwall, New York, is a class in architectural adaptation. Established in 1894 by professional golfers Willy Norton and George Low, the original 9-hole routing capitalized on a rugged, 63-acre footprint under the shadow of Storm King Mountain. The property proudly maintained its traditional country club identity for well over a century until December 2020, when Trey Owen purchased the club on behalf of the Hudson Valley Golf Foundation (HVGF). Partnering with architect Chris Gray, Owen set out to build an elite performance facility for the Army West Point golf team, experimenting with how to unlock a championship-caliber 18-hole experience within the limited acreage before both men departed the project by 2024.
The vision fundamentally shifted—and truly came alive—when tech entrepreneur and adaptive golf advocate David Gang took the reins of the HVGF. Establishing a new team deeply rooted in adaptive sports, Gang leveraged the spatial flexibility designed by Chris Gray to completely change how the game is played, maintained, and experienced. This is where Golf Re-imagined™ came alive. By engineering a fluid, multi-directional matrix optimized for both autonomous turf care, logical player flow and absolute golf freedom, Storm King became a place that settles the mind of every golfer. The facility now boasts 60 multi-directional tee boxes and 22 distinct greens spanning over 200,000 square feet. This unique canvas allows players to build custom 18-hole rounds from 11 different 9-hole choices, yielding over 100 possible holes specifically optimized for inclusive, sensible match play or championship rounds on our foundation 18 routing.
AUTONOMOUS BY DESIGN
THE ARCHITECTURE YOU DON’T SEE
Storm King’s most radical architecture isn’t visible from the tee. To maintain a property of this scale, a fleet of 25 autonomous robotic mowers works around the clock, quietly cutting the tee boxes, fairways, and roughs.
On the green complexes, electric triplexes and walk-behind mowers deliver premium surfaces without traditional noise. The result is a course that effectively maintains itself, and a calm that machinery usually breaks.
A HOME FOR THE MOVEMENT
Built for Adaptive Golf
Adaptive golf isn’t an add-on at Storm King — it’s the foundation. The course was reimagined so that everyone and everything can move through it logically, whether to play, to spectate, or to work.
That commitment shows up in the calendar: Programming that runs through clinics and tournaments at least 20 days per season.
2027 AND BEYOND
The Road Ahead
Currently in an exclusive preview phase, Storm King targets a 2027 opening for private access. Beyond Cornwall, the HVGF is taking its mission nationwide.
Adaptive tournaments launch across new national sites in 2027, laying the groundwork for a full-season competitive slate in 2028 — and Storm King’s place at the center of the adaptive sports movement.
