Tiger Woods is designing a new golf course in Mexico in the real estate development Punta Brava on the coast of Baja California. The course and development are located 65 miles south of San Diego in a private location that previously inaccessible by land until the developers built a road. The development will consist of about 125 homes, a clubhouse, restaurant, spa, and 20-unit hotel. Buyers will pay a premium for the Tiger Woods brand. Prices will begin at $3 million for a vacant lot and $3.5 million for a condo. Pre-sales have already begun although the development is not scheduled to open until 2011. 

The Punta Brava course is just one of three courses that Tiger Woods has designed. The other two are at Dubai and the Blue Ridge Mountains between North and South Carolina. Punta Brava will be one of the most exclusive properties in Mexico, and with the chance to be near the best golfer of all time, properties will probably sell out fast. Tiger told the Wall Street Journal in an interview that he plans to have a home in Punta Brava and that he plans to only do a select few golf courses. 

Tiger says the course is on an “amazing piece of property” and will have views of the ocean from all 18 holes. The course is on the small end at just 6,800 yards but it will probably rank as one of the most desired golfing locations in the world. You can view the planned layout of the course at the development’s website, www.puntabrava.com. 

The planned development looks as impressive as the golf course. One of the unique community amenities are locally grown organic fruits and vegetables from the Punta Brava Farms. Master chefs prepare authentic local dishes with ingredients from the development’s own farm. The renderings of the rooms have a unique modern design by renown architects and the site describes their focus on sustainability. This will definitely be one of the most exclusive and desirable developments in Mexico, if you can afford it.
