It’s been just over a year since we first introduced readers to Bluejack Ranch, the private residential club, featuring a Tiger Woods–designed golf course.
Since then, several major milestones have taken place — here’s what’s new on the ranch.
Latest updates
In April of this year, the Bluejack team began releasing a four-part series of Tiger Woods at the actual construction site. Note: In episode three of the series, it is mentioned that the upcoming golf course could stretch beyond 7,500+ yards.
In May, city officials, local ranchers, and potential homebuyers were invited to a preview party that included a lounge area and open bar. In attendance was PGA golfer and founding partner J.J. Henry — who shared that the project has received 1,000+ membership and pricing inquiries.
In August, construction neared another milestone as teams completed filling irrigation lakes and grassing the course. The team also acquired several horses suitable for future riders of all experience levels.

This headline caught my attention. Montserrat’s newest upscale restaurant has released a new menu that is unique to the bar only. I got to visit The Mont last month and was super impressed with the service, food, and ambiance. My favorite part had to be the beautiful bar and getting recommendations with the on-staff sommelier. Who else is a sucker for vibe-y places?
