Courses
editTrump World Golf Club Dubai
editThe dead The Tiger Woods Dubai (Arabic: زي تايجر وودز دبيّ) project would have been the first Tiger Woods-designed golf course and golf resort in the world. The planned golf course and resort is located at Dubailand, Dubai's largest tourism and leisure complex. The golf course and resort was a joint venture between Tiger Woods Design and Tatweer, a member company of Dubai Holding.[2]
According to Dubai Properties Group Chief Executive Officer Khalid Al Malik "Work on the course, designed by Woods and originally due to be finished by September 2009, has gotten as far as the eighth hole".[3] (Feb 2010) On January 31, 2011, the golf course developer acknowledged the project has been shelved because of "market conditions." "It's been put on hold," Woods told the Associated Press on Sunday.[4] On April 2, 2011 The New York Times quoted an official from Golf in Dubai, which markets the emirate as a golfing destination, as saying that the project was "as good as dead and buried".[5] The holes that were built are expected to be reclaimed by the desert.
The planned golf resort was to contain a par 72 golf course called "Al Ruwaya", a clubhouse, a golf academy, boutique hotel and residential properties around the golf course.[6]
After extensive delays it was announced in December 2014 that the project had been redesigned and construction had begun once again.[7]
The Cliffs at High Carolina
editThe Cliffs at High Carolina would have been the company's first course in the United States. The private course would have been at about 4,000 feet in the Blue Ridge Mountains in Swannanoa, North Carolina.[8] It would have been the eighth course developed at The Cliffs. Others have been designed by Jack Nicklaus, Tom Fazio and Gary Player.[8] Still undeveloped, 800 acres of the site was sold in April 2019 by David Straus to New Fort LLC for $15.3 million.[9]
