Overview
- DeChambeau announced The Orchard on Friday, November 13, 2026, and said it will be the first project under his new DeChambeau Designs business.
- The proposal calls for an 18-hole championship course, a world-class practice facility, a driving range that could open early, a planned residential community and an on-site farmers market.
- DeChambeau and Cook Land Company said the development will sit on the historic McFarlane Ranch across from Clovis East High School, the golfer’s alma mater.
- The project has been in planning since 2022 but still needs formal approval from the City of Clovis and Fresno County; DeChambeau said he expects approvals within about 18 months and gave no construction start date.
- Proponents say the design—with each hole framed by different fruit or nut trees—aims to expand access to golf for local children and schools and could bring new investment and housing to the Central Valley if regulators approve it.
