DUBAI – Tiger Woods has unveiled the master plan of Tatweer’s exclusive golf community, The Tiger Woods Dubai (TWD).
Al Ruwaya is the first golf course designed by the world’s richest golfer.
Abdullah Al Gurg, project director of TWD, said, “Never before has there been a development as ambitious as Tiger Woods Dubai.
“We have pioneered new techniques in construction and design to overcome the challenge that we face in transforming 55 million square feet of desert into a green space that is one and a half times the size of New York’s Central Park and almost four times the size of London’s Hyde Park.â€
Gulf News reports that the course will also include a golf academy, clubhouse and a spa. A luxury hotel will also be built on the site.
The residential plots will be developed to create 22 palaces, 75 mansions and 100 signature villas.
“To be a part of this has been a lifelong dream of mine. I want this to be an oasis, an escape from the city. As everyone knows, Dubai has grown quite a bit and this will be a place to get away from the hustle and bustle of the city,” Woods said.
Scheduled for completion in 2009, the project is located within Dubailand.
