Significant progress has been made on all facets of the development, including the world’s first Tiger Woods Design Al Ruwaya Golf Course, the club house, and the boutique hotel designed by the celebrated designer Elie Saab, they said.
Following the finalisation of design, construction work for the clubhouse has started. The sub-structure of the clubhouse, including foundation, retaining walls and columns for its basement levels, are now complete and well on its way to welcoming members and visitors from late 2009.

Abdulla Al Gurg, project director, The Tiger Woods Dubai, a member of Tatweer Dubai, said: “The pace of progress validates our commitment to deliver on our promises, not only with regard to the completion dates but also with creating a development that is amongst the most sought after golf destinations worldwide.”

He said 13 holes of the Al Ruwaya Golf Course had already been rough shaped and detailed shaping is progressing on nine of those holes.

Drainage, irrigation and landscape are being installed on the first few holes, and with 25 hectares of grass already in the nursery, sod is expected to be laid later in November.

Most of the 11,000 trees required for the golf course have been bought, while about 350 mature trees have already been planted on the course.

The final stages of design for the luxury boutique hotel is being finalised, with construction to start next month and completion by the fourth quarter of 2010.

Located at Dubailand, The Tiger Woods Dubai will also include a high-end destination spa, 22 palaces, 75 mansions, and 100 luxury villas.
