Scheduled for completion in 2009, The Tiger Woods Dubai fittingly combines the vision of Tatweer with that of Tiger Woods. A world-class location designed to meet the needs of those who seek excellence and exclusivity in every dimension of their lives, it is well placed to complement the lifestyle of a financially dynamic metropolis such as Dubai.
Abdulla Al Gurg, project director, The Tiger Woods Dubai, said, “The Tiger Woods Dubai has become one of the most highly anticipated developments in the region. The project will stand testimony to our hard work and superior quality standards.
“Tiger Woods‘ name brings enormous value to the project and we are proud to share with him some of the key developments that have taken place since he reviewed the project during his last visit.”
The Tiger Woods Dubai will encompass the first Tiger Woods designed golf course, Al Ruwaya, which will offer only 200 memberships with residents of the community being given top priority. In addition, Al Ruwaya will also include a professionally-staffed golf academy, a 139,000 sq. feet clubhouse with premium amenities and a high-end destination spa.
Currently, landscaping is in progress for the 7,800 yard, par 72 championship-quality course, which includes dramatic elevations, stunning water features and an overall design that will challenge and entertain golfers of all skill levels.
Tiger Woods has overseen all facets of the golf course’s design and development, contributing enormously to its distinct features. Through a choice of six tees and the careful use of topography, length, width, wind direction, hazard placement and contouring, Woods has created a unique series of holes that will test the mental toughness of a professional as much as their physical stamina, while rewarding only calculated risk taking.
Tiger Woods said: “I am proud of my partnership with Tatweer, which has excelled in developing The Tiger Woods Dubai project and bringing it to this advanced stage. With its remarkable commitment, Tatweer has demonstrated its capability to implement the project according to the scheduled timeframe.
“The master plan reflects the phenomenal dimension this project has taken since it was first conceived, and will serve to enhance its overall stature as one of the world’s most ambitious developments. The design of Al Ruwaya will reflect what I truly love about golf and I hope, will prove to be a challenging and strategic course for players of all levels.”
Luxury residences at The Tiger Woods Dubai will include 22 palaces, 75 mansions, and 100 signature villas. All residences will be situated on large land areas: palaces (100,000 sq. ft), mansions (50,000 sq. ft), large villas (30,000 sq. ft) and will include cutting-edge home technology and exquisite landscaped gardens. While master guidelines have been carefully chosen to ensure that the entire community enjoys amenities of the highest standards of quality and consistency.
