Located on 1,200 acres along the southern shore of the narrow Eleuthera Island in the Bahamas, Jack’s Bay features a 10-hole, par-3 golf course designed by Woods as well as an 18-hole Nicklaus Heritage Course that is currently under construction. Known as “The Playground,” the TGR Design short course plays entirely along the ocean, with cliffside elevations and amazing views. The holes range from 71 to 163 yards, offering a flexible layout that delivers a challenge to seasoned veterans while being fun and welcoming to novice golfers. Regardless of skill level, the track is designed for relaxed enjoyment, whether that’s playing barefoot, in a bathing suit or with a cocktail from the Blue Bar in hand.

Jack’s Bay’s Nicklaus Heritage Course—the first of this classification in the world—is slated for completion in 2025 and will boast five holes directly on the Caribbean. Another five holes will feature views of the ocean and its seafoam-green waters.

“Jack’s Bay continues to be a super-hot market, and one reason why is that it’s the only location in the world that will feature a Tiger Woods 10-hole Playground golf course and an 18-hole Nicklaus Design Heritage Course in the same community,” says Mike Collins, CEO of IMI Worldwide Properties, which leads marketing and sales for Jack’s Bay.

Residences in the Jack’s Bay Founder’s Program all sold out in a few months. The 2024 Residential Collection features 12 Atlantic Cottages that range from four to six bedrooms and 2,264 square feet to 4,202 square feet. The residences, which come fully furnished, surround the community’s Atlantic Clubhouse and come with covered outdoor terraces and pools. Also available are two- and three-bedroom townhomes and four- and five-bedroom villas at Jack’s Bay’s Nicklaus Village Phase 1.

In addition to the two courses, the private residential community offers four miles of pink-sand beachfront, with elevations of up to 90 feet. The property and coastline also include hidden caves, blue holes, a private meditation lake known as “Mystery Lake,” natural coral reefs, a sea turtle sanctuary and two private islands for excursions. At the community’s barefoot-luxury Beach Club, homeowners and members enjoy access to paddleboards and kayaks, world-class fishing charters, a member day dock, a restaurant, dry boat storage, a wellness center, a sports pavilion and tennis and paddleball courts.

Jack’s Bay is located just 10 minutes from Rock Sound Airport, which can be reached by a 50-minute flight from South Florida or a 20-minute flight from Nassau, Bahamas. With its accessibility and its range of residential options and amenities, the community is designed for enjoyment by all ages. “This multi-generational membership offering and highly amenitized master-planned family-lifestyle community is a true legacy project that will transform South Eleuthera and become an oasis for our members, homeowners and guests,” says Tommy Turnquest, CEO of Jack’s Bay.

Woods, for his part, calls Jack’s Bay “the next great family destination.” With two courses designed by GOATs, it will no doubt become the next great golfing destination as well.
