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. The Tiger Woods Dubai has also reported increased demand since the launch of sales in July and is receiving continued interest from end users and investors alike.

Following the finalisation of design, construction work for the clubhouse has commenced. 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, said: "We are proud to announce the early success of infrastructure work at The Tiger Woods Dubai. 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.

"Our redefined sales policy of allowing resale of properties has significantly contributed to the marked increase in interest from regional and international investors. The unprecedented response underlines the high degree of confidence among purchasers in The Tiger Woods Dubai and the continuing demand worldwide for luxury properties."

A key component that has registered steady progress on site is the Al Ruwaya Golf Course, where 13 holes have 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 in November.

Most of the 11,000 trees required for the golf course have been procured, while approximately 350 mature trees have already been planted on the course. Construction of the lakes is also registering significant progressing in line with the projected completion date of the golf course.

The final stages of design for the exclusive 360,000 sq. ft. luxury boutique hotel is being finalised, with construction of the exclusive hotel due to commence next month and achieve completion by the fourth quarter of 2010.

The Tiger Woods Dubai has also signed an agreement with world renowned, three star Michelin chef Guy Savoy for a signature restaurant, his first in the Middle East, at the boutique hotel. The hotel will include 90 suites and 14 bungalows in sizes varying from 1,300-9,500 sq. ft. Targeting top-tier clientele, it will boast a 10,000 sq. ft. oasis-style swimming pool, as well as one of Dubai's most exquisite spas.

Located at Dubailand, the world's most ambitious leisure, tourism and entertainment destinations, The Tiger Woods Dubai is fast taking shape as an exclusive golf community encompassing a professionally-staffed golf academy; a 139,000 sq. ft. clubhouse with premium amenities; a high-end destination spa; 22 palaces; 75 mansions, and 100 luxury villas and community service facilities.
