Exclusive First Look At Tiger Woods’ Jupiter Island Home Golf Course
Now that the Tiger Woods house is completed on Jupiter Island, we have a first glimpse of the backyard and practice complex.

It appears he has one tee box in the southeast east corner to hit drivers. The entire area just west of the lap pool can be used to hit long, medium and short irons into any of the 4 greens. Each green is guarded by a single trap, except the green in the northwest corner which appears to have 3 pot bunkers.

Tiger has enough open space to practice his short game from any angle, any wind condition, which really appears what this practice area is all about.

His putting green is totally surrounded by dense vegetation. One wonders if he is trying to block out the wind by doing this or if he is cutting off both sunlight and air circulation. He probably has a sub-air temperature/humidity control system beneath the green, otherwise it would be worthless in the heat of the summer, especially if the grass there is bent or some northern grass.

I’m curious as to what type of grass he planted, both on the putting green and throughout his practice area. The denser Florida or tropical grasses react quite differently with the club head and ball, and Tiger may find he is switching grasses a number of times until he finds the right mix.

I would have thought he’d have 2 putting greens, each with different grasses.

Another curious thing I found is the placement of this particular Jupiter Island home so far back from the intracoastal. Usually, homeowners want to be very close to the water, but I believe Tiger wanted his practice area close to the water, so he reversed the norm, creating another unique signature estate among the Juptier Island homes.

All I can say is WOW!

That is insane! Its looks like there is a little river running on the edge of the trees from the water all the to the putting green.
 
wow, must be nice. How do I get a tee time?
 
OMG why would you need a house that big? (Spare the the ho jokes, hahaha). We have a 1500 sq foot house and we have two bedrooms we hardly ever go in! One has no furniture and Jacqui only uses the closet, and the other has a bed and TV that Jacqui uses the closet! He could have cut back on the house and had more practice area!
 
Anyone catch the commentary on the Salute to King whatever skins game when Tiger was talking about the size of the house (castle) in the background? It was hilarious what Paul Casey said.
 
PS that is ridiculous because those specs that are other houses are probably 4,000+ square feet and they look like shacks.
 
I wonder how long he'll be able to afford it now that he's like the 50th best player in the world.

It just shows that he still has more dollars than sense.
 
Doesn't the amount of golf practice area lower the resale value a little bit? hehehe.

I don't understand how rich people live- but things like this always remind me of how different of a world they really do live in
 
I wish we could have an MTV Cribs episode on this place!.
 
*application sent in for head groundskeeper, PS I can keep a secret tiger!
 
seriously, i just keep staring at that picture. 700 million to Elin? The swiming pool probably cost that much. LOL

Unreal. i want to be able to wake up and while im drinking coffee - hit my driver a few times. Then decide i want to play a little par 3. hahah.

Then say screw it - im going to watch sportscenter. in my bathrobe.
 
Its just a wonderful home, that´s all I can say. If I had that much money I would do the same or thereabouts. Wow, what a place!
 
that's impressive! i would do the same thing if i could, no doubt about it. i would have a good 10 bedroom wing though and i'd call it the "THP" wing, that way anyway could come crash if they wanted. how awesome would that be?
 
That is awesome! I don't know if Elin got that much, but that's for another thread.

I wonder if he mows his own grass???

I'm sure he has plenty of experience mowing lawns. :D

That place is sick... being a homeowner you can appreciate a place that large. You can also hear the thoughts in my head on questioning who would clean such a palace and where do I send my resume to? (I used to work in the ER so I have plenty of experience with body fluids)

How great would that be, skills games before breakfast.....
 
It's not all house. Some of that is the 5 or 6 car garage.

only a 5-6 car garage? what a joke! :sarcasm:
I wonder if his yacht would be able to pull up to the house? might be too big and block the entire channel.

Still pulled down 90 mil last year after all the p.r. hits and she didn't get $700 mil. He was even worth that much. He's earned over a billion but according to Forbes, he's only worth about $600 mil...

From my middle class point of view, it does seem extremely excessive... but if I made the kinda money he has made and is going make, then my point of view would be much different.

I think its pretty sweet to have a course in the back yard... Personally, I'd be happy with a golf simulator in the basement. lol

I wonder what kinds of changes he would make on a regular basis to keep it interesting.
 
There was a pro-baseball player on the golf channel yesterday that had a 9 hole par 3 course in his back yard. He also had two putting greens to practice on. I don't think this seems excessive. If I had that kind of money I would do the same too.
 
man, if I was wealthy like this, I would have a darn 18 hole course.
