Introduction to Bluejack Ranch
Tiger Woods is coming to town, and he’s planting his second golf course in Texas in the Fort Worth suburb of Aledo. The just-announced development of Bluejack Ranch will bring a championship course, plus another 10-hole par three course, and a clubhouse with spa and wellness amenities to this new gated, master-planned community. The course, which will be the centerpiece of a private club community set on a 900-acre working ranch, is slated to open in 2026.
The Team Behind Bluejack Ranch
Backing the project are Andy Mitchell and his wife, Kristin, the same developers who built Bluejack National, which when it opened near Houston in 2016 was the site of Woods’ first U.S. course design. Also on the development team is former PGA Tour player J.J. Henry, a Fort Worth resident who played with Woods on the 2006 U.S. Ryder Cup team. A project of this magnitude requires more than vision, after all ― it requires the right team, the right skill set, and the funding to pull it off.
A Third Attempt at Success
This giant swath of land in Aledo simply demands to become the site of a championship golf course. And J.J. Henry has been working hard to see this vision come to life. With the entrance of Tiger Woods and the Bluejack team, it seems that it is indeed still destined to become a world-class golf community ― even after two failed attempts in recent years. The deal was previously announced as Kelly Ranch in December of 2023, but it was officially cancelled on January 18, 2024, when Escalante Golf announced it had parted ways with the Kelly Ranch development project in Aledo.
Amenities and Features
Bluejack Ranch will afford its residents a luxury lifestyle with plenty of family-friendly amenities. The original Bluejack National was designed by Woods, along with Andy and Kristin Mitchell, in 2016, an ambitious project affording residents and members a luxurious lifestyle and next-level amenities. Bluejack Ranch will be no different, with gourmet dining in the clubhouse restaurant, state-of-the-art fitness and spa, and even the chance to bring your own horses to live on the working dude ranch. There will be family activities galore at The Fort and Lantern Entertainment Studio onsite for film, TV, and podcast production.
Recreational Activities
Pastures and recreational fields are part of the vision, as well as family-focused racquet and aquatic facilities. And golfers will have a performance center to perfect their game. The community will offer a blend of luxury and recreation like no other in an idyllic, pastoral golf course community. With its unique features and amenities, Bluejack Ranch will bring an elevated status to this highly anticipated Aledo project.
Conclusion
In conclusion, Bluejack Ranch is an exciting new development that promises to bring a world-class golf course and luxury lifestyle to the Fort Worth suburb of Aledo. With its championship course, family-friendly amenities, and unique features, it is sure to be a destination for golf lovers and residents alike. The project is expected to open in 2026, and with the team of Tiger Woods, Andy Mitchell, and J.J. Henry behind it, it is sure to be a success.
