Tiger Woods is building a second golf course in Texas, with the Bluejack brand expanding to include a private, family-focused residential community near Fort Worth called Bluejack Ranch.
A 914-acre property that blends luxury and recreation, Bluejack Ranch is located just under four hours northwest of Bluejack National outside Houston, the site of the first Woods-designed course in the U.S.
In a letter to Bluejack members, Woods said he finds it hard to believe it’s been just over a decade since that course opened, and that he’s excited to again team with Bluejack founders Andy and Kristin Mitchell for an “encore opportunity” at a new club that will include a more than 600 home lots. The Mitchells attended Texas Christian University, which is located in Fort Worth.
“We’re bringing that same Bluejack spirit and passion to Fort Worth – a city celebrated not only as Cowtown but also as a golf town,” said Woods. “With legends like Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson, the love for the game here is genuine.
“Bluejack National’s success has paved the way for this next chapter at Bluejack Ranch,” he added. “Our shared vision of creating a space where families can enjoy the game and have fun inspires us all once again at The Ranch. It’s extremely motivating for me to contribute to the golfing legacy of Fort Worth, and I’m excited to see what we’ll build together.”
The Woods-designed course will be the centerpiece of a club that’s also a working dude ranch with horses, a herd of longhorns, and mini-donkeys. Golf is among a diverse range of amenities that includes a wellness spa, state-of-the-art fitness facilities, gourmet dining, and a family-friendly social hub called The Fort.
The National Golf Foundation recently noted that approximately 3,200 golf facilities in the U.S. have a real estate component, among them residential resort properties like Bluejack. While this total represents almost 23% of overall U.S. golf supply, golf real estate has an even greater presence when it comes to the recent, post-pandemic uptick in golf development.
Over 40% of current new golf projects have a real estate tie, with communities like Bluejack Ranch located outside, but not far from, major metro areas proving extremely popular.
