Legendary golfer and course designer Jack Nicklaus has launched a new residence club, and its first phase will include several locations in The Bahamas. 

Nicklaus, who designed Nassau’s Royal Blue golf club at the Baha Mar, will have two locations for his residence club program: a property called 36 on Paradise Island, and a property called Ocean Terrace on West Bay Street near Caves Heights. 

“I’ve spent the majority of my life traveling around the world, playing golf, designing golf courses, and experiencing a variety of destinations,” Nicklaus said. “I appreciate the importance of quality lodging and first-class service as complements to good golf. The industry continues to evolve for those who seek premier residences in ideal destinations, and we believe this is a natural fit as we expand the Nicklaus lifestyle brand.”

The program will be what Nicklaus Companies call an “innovative, income-generating residence club model,” that lets members stay in luxury vacation condos and homes around the world. 

“The Jack Nicklaus Residence Club will be showcasing Nicklaus-designed golf courses around the globe, providing families and golf groups many beautiful, exciting, and exotic locations to explore,” VRP Equities President, Craig Williamson explained. “The clubs will feature ultra-luxury homes with stellar amenities, located in the most popular vacation areas around the globe.”
