Set on more than 755 acres in the forests of Montgomery is a private community unlike any other in the nation. On the site of the former Blaketree Golf Club, professional golfer Tiger Woods, in partnership with Beacon Land Development, is designing his first golf course in the U.S. In addition to the Bluejack National, the project will also feature 386 homes in a gated community with an array of luxury amenities, including on-site gourmet chef and concierge services.
"This is very much resort style of living," said Gary Short, Bluejack National director of sales.
The Bluejack development, which will open to golfers in the fall, will feature a par 72, 7,523-yard Woods-designed golf course; a nine-hole, lighted par 3 course called "The Playgrounds"; youth sports fields; several fishing ponds; zip lines; and a member clubhouse.
Membership to the course will be limited to 500 families, and Short said interest in the community has already been strong. He said he expects about two-thirds of the Bluejack community to be composed of local residents and the other one-third to be made up of out-of-area buyers.
The course will feature what designers are calling comfort stations: a fresh fruit stand and a jerky shack. Short said the fruit stand will offer golfers fresh fruit from a nearby orchard, sweets and snacks, and the jerky stand will feature a variety of jerkies and beers.
"This is not so much a place with a lot of rules," Bluejack National President Casey Paulson said. "It's about culture and customs."
