Los Angeles, CA – The Flagship Group and Tiger Woods Design have announced plans for Punta Brava—a private golf and ocean club situated 65 miles south of San Diego—that will include the first oceanfront course designed by Woods. The announcement was made at a press conference in Bel-Air, Los Angeles today.
Punta Brava, meaning ‘Wild Point,’ is at the tip of a peninsula that extends seven miles into the ocean on the Pacific coast of Mexico. With the ocean on three sides and a dramatic mountain peak on the fourth, Punta Brava is marked by high cliffs and rock formations that create both a secluded and dramatic setting.
Among plans for Punta Brava are: Tiger Woods’ 18-hole par 70 oceanfront course; 40 estate lots (three-quarter to three acres); 80 villa residences (4,500 to 7,000 square feet); and a 20-villa private hotel for residents and guests, each including a private pool. Punta Brava will also feature a private clubhouse, an ocean club, a wellness center and spa, multiple dining venues, and various recreational activities inspired by the environment and local culture.
“The goal for my design company is to create a select collection of amazing courses around the world, and that means working hard to pick the best sites, the best partners and create great designs,” Tiger Woods said. “I’m very excited about how Punta Brava fits into this goal and think it’s going to be a tremendous experience.”
Woods added, “Many of the holes are framed by natural rock outcroppings, steep cliffs and crashing waves. I really enjoy working with the land, especially at a site so spectacular, so I’ve designed 17 tees or greens on the water and eight holes that play over the ocean.”
The Flagship Group Chairman and Co-founder Brady Oman said, “Punta Brava will be a very special place because we’ve assembled a remarkable team including Tiger Woods. The opportunity to partner with Tiger Woods Design is exciting. Tiger brings the same intensity and passion to course design that he takes to his golf game, so it makes working with him a great experience.”

Oman continued, “At The Flagship Group, we’re always looking for unique pieces of land to work with, and we’re very fortunate to have found this one. Punta Brava’s site is spectacular – the natural setting and beauty of the land and sea are incredibly powerful. For a private golf and ocean club, we believe it will rival anything.”
The Flagship Group Co-founder Red McCombs said, “Anyone who knows me knows that, like Tiger, I play to win. We’re committing significant resources behind this because we know that our buyers and guests will demand a level of quality that exceeds the norm. That’s what we’ll deliver.
“With Punta Brava and future projects we’ll be announcing, we’re bringing to life our vision for a collection of properties that are extraordinary. Punta Brava is indeed an extraordinary opportunity and I’m proud to be a part,” McCombs said.
