Construction of the golf course is expected to begin during the summer of 2014 with its completion slated for the fall of 2015. Bluejack National is scheduled to be the first golf course designed by Tiger Woods to open in the U.S.<\/p>\n<p><script type='text\/javascript' src='http:\/\/KRIV.images.worldnow.com\/interface\/js\/WNVideo.js?rnd=924449;hostDomain=www.myfoxhouston.com;playerWidth=630;playerHeight=355;isShowIcon=true;clipId=10111385;flvUri=;partnerclipid=;adTag=Sport;advertisingZone=;enableAds=true;landingPage=;islandingPageoverride=false;playerType=STANDARD_EMBEDDEDscript;controlsType=overlay'><\/script><\/p>\n<p>Formerly the home of Blaketree National Golf Club, Bluejack National is set among 755 acres of gently rolling and beautifully wooded countryside dotted with natural lakes and streams. The original golf course was popular with Houston-area players; however, Bluejack National\u2019s developers believe a completely new design is required to make the best use of the area\u2019s spectacular terrain and natural view corridors. Tiger Woods, the world\u2019s number-one-ranked player and winner of 14 major golf championships, was selected to design the new course following numerous conversations and site visits with Beacon Land Development.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are thrilled to have Tiger working with us to develop the golf course for Bluejack National,\u201d said Michael Abbott, Partner, Beacon Land Development. \u201cHe spent a lot of time getting to know the property and understanding its potential. Throughout the process it became clear that his vision for the golf course perfectly aligned with ours, and he shared our passion for bringing it to life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Strategically, Woods said the golf course will require players to think and make decisions throughout their rounds.<\/strong> Successfully challenging hazards will reward players with preferred angles of play for their next shot. He said green contours will be kept simple to allow for fast speeds, and the areas around the greens will be maintained firm and tight to promote shot options and creativity from the chipping areas.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the 18-hole golf course, Woods will design a Short Course for Bluejack National, providing a creative, high-quality alternative to the 18-hole golf experience.<\/p>\n<p><em><a href=\"http:\/\/www.myfoxhouston.com\/story\/25391368\/first-tiger-woods-design-golf-course-in-us-to-open-in-houston-area#ixzz30RQyY8Fz\">Source<\/a><\/em><br
