Overview
Many who’ve played Bluejack National have commented on its resemblance to Augusta National, particularly at the par-3 12th, which plays over water to a shallow diagonal green backed by a pair of bunkers. While some suspect this is Tiger’s homage to the 12th at No. 2 Augusta National, where he has won five Masters, it could be based on the 12th at No. 16 Muirfield Village, where Tiger has won eight times. Nonetheless, Bluejack is most likely an ode to Augusta. At the course opening, Tiger told reporters, “When I visited the site for the first time, I was blown away. It’s definitely not the kind of site that comes to mind when you think of Houston. The terrain features a number of elevation changes and lots of tall, mature trees, more like something you would find in Georgia.”

“Bluejack is like a disney for sports families. Activities for all ages besides golf. Staff is some of the best in the business. The pro shop was merchandiser of the year a couple years ago and I concur. The practice facilities are abundant and playful. The putting course is on the largest putting green in Texas, and is lit all night. The par 3 course is a blast and is lit until 11pm. Don't turn down the chance to visit this place and don't turn down a Jack Hammer once you get there!"

“This club has a very laid back new money feel. Wall to wall zoysia in great condition. The layout is good not great but the food before the beautiful par 3 is exceptional ! The course is very fun to play and not overly difficult. Allot time for the par 3 course after the round with an adult beverage."

“Very firm and fast conditioning w/ grass types. Plays somewhat easy for skilled players w/ lack of rough and several birdie opportunities between short par 4's(8 & 17) and reachable par 5's(2 & 13). The contours of the green complexes often allow approach shots to be shaped or banked to certain hole locations. The Augusta National influence can be felt w/ the big bunkers w/ white sand and towering pines that allow for recovery shots if one goes too far astray. The 12th hole is reminiscent of the 12th at Augusta National as well w/ the green shape in relation to the water and the 2 bunkers long. The 1st and 2nd hole largely follow the same routing as the original iteration of the preceding course at this site, the rest of the course is completely new outside of the 12th hole green is in the same spot but was previously a par 4 instead of the current par 3 hole routing."

“Designed by Tiger Woods and Beau Welling, 2015 Located 1 hour north of Houston. Private course with super wide fairways and very large greens with good elevation changes. The green complexes are where the challenges lie here. The green surrounds are where the challenge lies. Close cut surrounds allow for all sorts of recovery options. The course has an Augusta-like feel with little to no rough, and fairways that extend into the tree lines with pine straw around the base of all the trees. #12 looks very much like #12 at August"

“Beautiful walk around Bluejack National with firm and fast conditions. Players can bomb it off the tee with expansive fairways and no rough, but know this is a second-shot golf course that puts a premium on approach-shot strategy and a player's ability to putt well. Side note, do not miss the jerky and bbq at The Jerky Shack in between 11 and 12!"

“Tiger Woods first design, Bluejack National is a private course near Houston and is considered one of the best courses in Texas. With absolutely top notch service yet at the same time one of the most relaxed vibes at a private club I've seen, Bluejack National the experience is incredibly fun. The course is not all that difficult but does challenge better players with its tricky greens and surroundings. The course is meant to tribute Augusta National at times and this is most apparent on the 12th, which mimics the famous 12th at ANGC and is a signature hole. Outside of that, the layout is a cohesive collection but the holes don't stand out as much."

“Starter announcing your name and club affiliation prior to first tee shot is a nice touch. Zoysia fairways are great for hitting your irons. Beautiful set of par-3 holes. As much elevation change as you'll get in Southeast Texas."

“Course is in excellent condition with Zoysia fairways and tif Eagle greens. Wide fairways make driving the ball easier but challenging second shots and false fronts around greens approaches make it challenging. Service is outstanding and the experience is well worth the visit!"
