Bluejack Ranch, the Tiger Woods-backed private-club project, is taking shape on a 914-acre spread west of Fort Worth at 5100 Kelly Road in Aledo, developers say. Woods even steps in front of the camera for a short film titled "A Talk with Tiger," looking back on Bluejack’s first decade and the partnerships driving this new ranch venture. Nearby residents, builders and would-be members are watching closely as crews push toward a hoped-for fall opening.
A Ranch, A Course and Family Amenities
The plan calls for a working ranch and private residential club wrapped around a Tiger Woods-designed 18-hole championship course, a ranch club dubbed The Fort, a spa, equestrian facilities and pools across roughly 914 acres, according to Bluejack Ranch. TGR Design says the routing leans into the dramatic North Texas topography and will stretch out from the Tiger tees, offering a different feel from the original Bluejack National outside Houston, per TGR Design. Local reporting has pegged the full buildout at roughly $2.5 billion as developers chase a high-end, low-density residential layout, a figure reported by D Magazine.
Woods and Bluejack Leadership
In the short documentary, Woods talks through how the club concept has evolved, while Bluejack co-chair Andy Mitchell frames the Fort Worth-area project as an extension of lessons learned at the original Montgomery property. In sponsored coverage in the Dallas Business Journal, Mitchell said the team wants to build on what we've learned, stay true to what matters most, and create something that feels authentic to Texas. Developers say that focus signals a ranch-forward lifestyle play rather than a traditional country-club setup.
What This Could Mean for Aledo
The Bluejack site sits next to the Kelly Ranch master plan and inside the Aledo Independent School District, a combination developers spotlight to market luxury lots and family amenities, according to Kelly Ranch. Builders and brokers are already lining up nearby projects around the course, with marketing materials using the Tiger-designed routing as a prime selling point for buyers, per community pages like Chisholm Trail Homes. Bluejack’s master plan also includes a 100-acre commercial village and intentionally low housing density, elements that local coverage says could reshape traffic and retail patterns if demand follows.
Timeline and Jobs
Bluejack and its course partners are targeting late 2026 for clubhouse and amenity openings, with full 18-hole play expected in the autumn season, according to Golf Course Architecture. Regional planning documents point to construction progress on multiple holes, and a North Central Texas Council of Governments agenda noted work on routing segments near Aledo. Job postings tied to the grand opening for golf-operations and member-services roles have already surfaced in local listings, including assistant golf professional positions, suggesting the club is shifting from design into hiring and on-the-ground operations.
Where Bluejack Goes From Here
Bluejack Ranch is set to extend the brand beyond the original Bluejack National outside Houston and give Woods and TGR Design a signature anchor in both major Texas markets, according to the firm’s project overviews. With the land being shaped and routing laid out, the next 12 months will show whether the Ranch becomes a go-to weekend escape for Fort Worth-area members and a new hub for luxury development on the city’s western fringe.
