Paulson is overseeing the project that brought Tiger Woods and Tiger Woods Design back to Texas, and will be Tiger’s first course designed in the United States. Bluejack National, the former home to Blaketree National, is reconstructing the 755 acre lot with a brand new 18 holes, 384 private residents, nearly 100 cottages, and countless other amenities for the golfers and non-golfers alike.

The fact we can have this kind of canvas and this kind of place that we can create something special is really awesome

There are a lot of holes out here that have taken great advantage of the topography

[7:00] How exciting was it to get the word that Tiger was going to come here?

[10:28] I think that his vision and our vision are very aligned in a similar direction

[10:35] A little piece of heaven

[12:05] We think we’re really going to create an iconic place in the entire south part of the country and something that’s going to be respected on a national level

[16:44] We’re trying to limit cart paths as much as possible, just to restore that look of pure golf

[19:44] There’s nothing like seeing your golf ball fall against the trees

[21:03] We’ll certainly respect that legacy and respect the heritage and those who came before us

[24:02] There’s only a couple of places I’ve seen that have the elevation like this at all in Texas

[28:52] People love golf courses that are maintained impeccably and we’ve hired who we think is the best agronomist in the state

[41:08]

Tiger: “He’s very down to earth and very engaging and very focused on what he’s doing and very concerned with the quality of the golf course
