Not much as far as breaking news but a nice little write up.

appreciate the info, I had been looking for an article to show some family members since I was telling them about it. The article didnt mention it (or possibly it did and I'm just blind) but isnt this going to be a private course? Going to need a membership or know somebody to be able to play out there?

Will be in private development.

Probably will be semi-private at first until they have enough membership.

I called Bluejack yesterday about membership information. I was told they will open up memberships mid-summer with initiation around $100K but they could not tell me what they thought the monthly dues will be.

$100K????

They're many miles from nowhere and not River Oaks or Houston CC etc

Houston Oaks is in Hockley and is at $75K initiation.

That number is not surprising. This will be Whispering Pines level golf but without the subsidy from from the Robertson family. Also the National moniker implies intentions to be highly exclusive (think Dallas National, Augusta obviously).

Don't forget Houston National.

There are certainly exceptions but they are going for a national membership with BlueJack. All I'm saying is that $100k seems in line with how they're approaching this.

I was kidding obviously. My point in mentioning Houston Oaks charging and getting $75K with a remote location and this place at $100K with a remote location is that big money behaves differently when it comes to these things.

definitely 100k range but also rumored to be "invitation only"

This is being built by a development company and financed as founding memberships are sold. That's generally not a good situation.

That's standing on one of tees on #1 I think. Appears they're adding a fairway bunker which is in play off the tee. There we go, it's a redesign.

In terms of layout, there were some good holes out there before. Will be curious to see how much is really changed with the layout. If they do indeed go semi-private initially, will probably check it out.

I'd be shocked if it's ever semi private. Hard to get $100k initiations for a course that anyone can play.

This.

The founding memberships are $1MM. I understand they've sold 10 and want to sell 10 more.

I don't think the pay as you go model is a very good one.

Here's an update from Golfweek. If you've played the course before, you can see some of the old holes on the course rendering.

Looks like he turned the old #1 into a dogleg left par 5 utilizing the lake on the old #4 if I remember correctly.

its a shame the course shut down like it did. I always enjoyed playing out there. now I'm afraid I will never step foot on the course again. Damn you Tiger Woods

Any word on memebership costs?

I thought this was going to be an uber-expensive super-exclusive type club.

I got my info from a Robert Trent Jones course designer so I have reason to believe him. He said full golf initiation will be $100K.
