Tiger Woods, the legendary golfer and course designer, recently announced on social media that his course architecture firm, TGR Design, will be building a new course at a residential community called Bluejack Ranch near Fort Worth, Texas. The developers behind the project, Andy and Kristin Mitchell, also built Bluejack National near Houston in 2016, which was the site of Woods’ first course design in the U.S. The new Bluejack Ranch in Aledo will be a residential club set on 914 acres of a working cattle ranch and is planned to open in 2026.
The course details for Bluejack Ranch were not revealed in the announcement, but reports suggest that it will include a full-size course designed by Woods and his partner Beau Welling, as well as a lighted 10-hole par-3 course. This project is just one of several that Woods is currently working on, including Trout National in New Jersey with baseball star Mike Trout and Marcella Club in Utah. Woods has also designed courses such as The Legacy at Diamante in Cabo San Lucas, Mexico, and Payne’s Valley at Big Cedar Lodge in Missouri.
Bluejack National near Houston, designed by Woods, is currently ranked as the No. 4 private course in Texas and is tied for No. 75 among all modern courses in the U.S. In a letter to prospective members of Bluejack Ranch, Woods expressed his excitement about the new project and reflected on the success of Bluejack National. He also highlighted the rich golfing history of Fort Worth, with legends like Ben Hogan and Byron Nelson contributing to the city’s reputation as a “golf town.” Woods expressed his gratitude for the opportunity to work with the Mitchell family again and create a new course at Bluejack Ranch.
The announcement of Woods’ involvement in Bluejack Ranch has generated excitement among golf enthusiasts, as the project is expected to contribute to the golfing legacy of Fort Worth. The partnership between Woods, TGR Design, and the developers is seen as a continuation of the success of Bluejack National and a testament to Woods’ growing reputation as a course designer. The Bluejack Ranch project aims to create a space where families can enjoy the game of golf and have fun, echoing the spirit and passion of Bluejack National near Houston.
As construction on Bluejack Ranch progresses, more details about the course design and features are expected to be revealed. With Woods’ track record of creating world-class courses that blend seamlessly with their natural surroundings, expectations are high for Bluejack Ranch to become another premier destination for golf enthusiasts. The collaboration between Woods, TGR Design, and the Mitchell family reflects a shared vision of creating exceptional golf experiences that honor the history and traditions of the game while embracing innovation and sustainability.
