First HYPERSCAPES GOLF CLUB x NICKLAUS DESIGN course breaks ground in the metaverse.
Conceptual design for the fully-formed 3D landscape
Hyperscapes Golf Club and Nicklaus Design have teamed up to build the first members-only metaverse golf club. Our shared vision is based on three core foundations: hand-crafted virtual-only courses, exclusive memberships, and the ability to play in photo-realistic 3D landscapes.
Nicklaus Design is working with cutting-edge terrain generation systems built by Hyperscapes to create a one-of-a-kind golf resort experience that is only possible in a virtual setting. We are honored to collaborate with the world's most experienced golf designers, known for their portfolio of over 435 golf courses across six continents.
Ownership of Hyperscapes tokens will give users access to visit and play the course as well as member rights on the virtual resort.
Together with the Nicklaus team, we are embarking on a journey that will redefine the boundaries of golfing experiences in the metaverse.

"The core of Nicklaus Design has always been the artistry and knowledge of our designers and their understanding and respect for the historical traditions of the game of golf."
The purely virtual 18-hole course is being designed using a unique blend of procedural and bespoke processes. Everything about our golf course is crafted with the same attention that goes into the design of physical Nicklaus Design courses. This includes site visits, routing plans, careful planning of the course layout, and shaping the terrain to perfection.
3D artists then shape the landscape to finalize the terrain envisioned by the designers, in a process of refinement until each hole is functionally and aesthetically complete. The finished course will feature challenging golf design, unique hole features, and stunning photo-realistic 3D scenery.
The golf design team is led by Chad Goetz, Senior Design Associate at Nicklaus Design and member of the prestigious American Golf Course Architects Society, who will oversee all aspects of the design process.
Membership in our golf club is available through the purchase of Hyperscapes membership tokens. These tokens not only grant ownership to the golf resort but also offer exclusive Members rights and privileges, including the opportunity to visit and play on the course.
No more than 300 membership tokens will be minted, a level of exclusivity on par with the most prestigious golf communities in the world.
"Our metaverse golf club will rival any physical membership golf community around the world."
A Founder's Program that rewards those who share our passion and vision for metaverse golf play.
From the 300 total memberships, we are currently offering a select group of Membership Tokens to 30 Founding Members that reward those who are an important part of the Club's story from the start.
Among other benefits, Founding Members will get the chance to follow the whole golf design process from the earliest stages - see the terrain transform and assist in virtual site visits, opportunities rarely offered to owners of physical golf courses.
