Tatweer said on Monday that the first phase of its $1.1 billion Tiger Woods Dubai residential golf development is on track to be completed in the fourth quarter of next year.

Properties next to Tiger Woods’ own house are still available, project director Abdulla Al Gurg told reporters at a press conference.

“I want this to be an oasis and escape from the city,” Tiger Woods said at the unveiling the master plan for the project in Dubai on Monday.

Golf in the UAE is still “in its infancy stages” but local junior golfers are getting better by the year and it is only a matter of time before a UAE national starts to play professionally, he added.

The project will house 197 properties, who will be given priority to membership of the 200 member strong golf club.

The Tiger Woods Dubai development includes an 18 hole golf course, a golf academy and a luxury boutique hotel designed by Lebanese designer Elie Saab.

“Dubai has the biggest, greatest and newest of everything, and hopefully we’ll create an experience here with this golf course that people will remember,” Woods said.
