I have been very fortunate to see some remarkable places. Last month i got a phone call from a friend to see Tiger Wood's new property called Punta Brava in Ensenada. We flew out of Van Nuys in a private plane to Ensenada International where i met the queens army. It was quite intimidating having 6 guys in uniform approach with weapons. After we gave them a couple of bottles of wine we climbed onto one of Paul Allen's MD-600's. He had 6 and sold one to the Punta Brava Property. 
This property is Tiger's first seaside golf course and it looks fantastic. 17 of the 18 holes will either have a tee or green on the ocean. You can see by the photos that the vistas are remarkable. His favorite courses are Cypress and St. Andrews, so he is bringing flavors of both to the course. There will be shared fairways and he has put back to back par 3's on the back nine. There are holes with forced carries and then straight up links style.
The property is a private property and they currently are looking for people that want to invest in the facility. The venture is backed by Red McCombs and is already paid for. That is unique for these types of ventures. Most of these types of facilities require the deposits and sales of the existing property to build. They are currently moving dirt and expect to be up and running early 2011. The helicopter pictured will take you and your 4some straight to the property from either Santa Monica or San Diego. They will have people drive your belonging, so you don't have to deal with TJ. I don't know if this is sheer genius or madness building at this time, but here are pictures to enjoy.
Needless to say it was quite a day. If you want more information please check out puntabrava.com
