The CommunityWhy Jack's Bay Club Is Redefining Bahamas Luxury

Jack's Bay Club is a 1,200-acre private members' community on the southern tip of Eleuthera, developed by Eleuthera Properties Ltd. under CEO Tommy Turnquest. It occupies one of the most dramatic stretches of Atlantic coastline in the Bahamas: bluffs rising up to 90 feet above sea level, 4 miles of pink sand beaches, hidden limestone caves, blue holes, coral reefs, a sea turtle sanctuary, a freshwater meditation lake, and two private islands.

What sets Jack's Bay apart globally is its golf pedigree: it is the only private community in the world where a Tiger Woods TGR Design course and a Jack Nicklaus Heritage™ course sit side by side. The 10-hole Playground Course by TGR Design reopened in 2025, playing along ocean cliffs. The 18-hole Jack Nicklaus Heritage™ Championship Course: the first ever built under the Heritage™ banner: is targeted for a spring 2026 opening, with five holes featuring direct ocean frontage that reviewers have compared to Pebble Beach.

Neighbouring Cotton Bay Club is also undergoing a historic revival: a Ritz-Carlton Reserve hotel and Robert Trent Jones II championship course are both targeting 2027. Together, these twin developments are transforming South Eleuthera into one of the most significant luxury golf destinations in the Caribbean.

13 Buyer Questions AnsweredJack's Bay Club FAQs

What residence types are available at Jack's Bay Club and how much do they cost in 2026?
Jack's Bay offers four residence categories: Playground Residences: 23 fully-furnished 2-4 bedroom homes (2,172-3,072 sq ft) from $1,995,000, each with private pool, rooftop deck, wet bar with wine storage, owner's closet, and covered carport.

Custom Estate Lots: beachfront and ocean-view homesites from $2,100,000, with custom builds starting around $2,840,000 (2-bed). The original Founders' Row homesites ($1M-$3M) are sold out.
What golf courses does Jack's Bay Club have and when do they open?
Jack's Bay has two signature courses: The Playground: a 10-hole par-3 short course designed by Tiger Woods' TGR Design that plays along dramatic ocean cliffs with panoramic Atlantic views, reopened in 2025 for barefoot golfers of all levels. The Jack Nicklaus Heritage™ Championship Course: an 18-hole layout targeted for spring 2026 opening, the first Nicklaus Heritage™ course ever built in the world. Five of the 18 holes feature direct ocean frontage: Andy O'Brien, president of Nicklaus Brands, has compared the setting of holes 7 through 10 to Pebble Beach. Hole 3 incorporates a natural blue hole that is home to rare Red Cuban Cave Shrimp. Jack's Bay is the only community on earth where Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus designs exist side by side.
How do I fly to Jack's Bay Club from the United States?
Jack's Bay is a 10-minute drive from Rock Sound International Airport (RSD), which has a 7,200-foot runway accommodating most private jets and commercial aircraft. Direct from South Florida: Fort Lauderdale Executive (FXE) via Aztec Air and Makers Air: approximately 1-hour flight, around 3 flights per week. Via Nassau: Bahamasair offers flights from Nassau to Rock Sound in about 20 minutes. Via North Eleuthera: Fly into North Eleuthera Airport (ELH): which has expanded nonstop service from Fort Lauderdale, Miami, and Atlanta following the $55M airport expansion: then drive south approximately 2 hours. Private aviation can land directly at Rock Sound.
Can I rent out my Jack's Bay residence when I am not using it?
Yes. Jack's Bay offers an in-house rental management programme that owners can opt into for Playground Residences and Atlantic Club Cottages. Some Playground units also allow the addition of a guest suite above the covered carport to increase rental capacity and income. Rental policies vary by product type and HOA rules, so confirm specifics for your particular unit. Owners renting short-term in the Bahamas must obtain a Home Owner's Residential Certificate (HORC): total cost is $700 ($200 processing + $500 issuance). Glenn confirms permitted uses, management options, and realistic occupancy and yield projections for each product before you commit.
What amenities come with Jack's Bay Club membership?
The 22,000-square-foot Atlantic Clubhouse (opened 2025) is the community's centrepiece: infinity pool, Technogym-equipped fitness centre, racquet sports (tennis and pickleball courts), destination spa, and beachside restaurant with panoramic ocean views. Additional venues include Salt Spray (bar, restaurant, and golf shop), The Pink House beach club, a sports pavilion, and plans for an expanded spa village. Concierge services, a lagoon pier with boat dock, and curated programming for families are included. Natural amenities span 4 miles of pink sand beaches, hidden caves, blue holes, coral reefs, a sea turtle sanctuary, Mystery Lake (freshwater meditation lake with loggerhead turtles), and two private islands.
Is Jack's Bay Club a good real estate investment in 2026?
Multiple factors support Jack's Bay as an appreciating asset. It holds a globally unique position as the only Tiger Woods + Jack Nicklaus golf community on earth. The Nicklaus Heritage™ 18-hole course opening in 2026 is expected to drive major international attention and buyer demand. Cotton Bay's Ritz-Carlton Reserve revival next door (targeting 2027) adds a complementary hospitality anchor. Eleuthera homes led all Bahamas islands in year-over-year sales gains in Q4 2025 per Morley Realty data. The Bahamas offers zero income tax, zero capital gains tax, and zero inheritance tax. Entry pricing from $1.995M is significantly below comparable ultra-luxury Bahamas golf communities like Albany ($5M+) and Baker's Bay ($5M+). Glenn provides comparable sales analysis and appreciation modelling on request.
What is the step-by-step buying process for a Jack's Bay property?
Step 1: Define your brief: budget, bedrooms, view, build vs turnkey. Step 2: Glenn delivers a curated shortlist with comps and pro-forma. Step 3: Private on-site tour (2-3 days recommended: walk homesites, play the Playground, tour the Clubhouse). Step 4: Make a reservation or offer, pay deposit to seller's attorney. Step 5: Due diligence: attorney conducts title search, surveys, inspections, HOA/developer document review. Step 6: Close: execute conveyance, pay 10% VAT (typically split 50/50), register with the Bahamas Investment Authority, take possession. Cash purchases typically complete in 30-60 days. Glenn coordinates the full process including attorney introductions and residency applications.
Does buying at Jack's Bay qualify me for Bahamas Permanent Residency?
Yes: every Jack's Bay residence exceeds the $1,000,000 single-property threshold for Economic Permanent Residency (EPR). Requirements include a $20,000 application fee ($25,000 for a spouse), physical presence of at least 90 days per year, a minimum 10-year property hold, and processing by the Department of Immigration. EPR grants the right to reside in the Bahamas but does not include work rights. The Bahamas has zero income tax, capital gains tax, and inheritance tax: making EPR one of the Caribbean's most attractive residency-by-investment options. Glenn coordinates the full application process with qualified Bahamian attorneys.
What natural features make Jack's Bay Club's setting unique?
Jack's Bay occupies 1,200 privately-owned acres on South Eleuthera's Atlantic coast with some of the highest oceanfront elevations in the Bahamas: bluffs rising up to 90 feet. The property includes 4 miles of pink sand beaches, hidden limestone caves, natural blue holes (one integrated into the Nicklaus course at hole 3, home to rare Red Cuban Cave Shrimp), vibrant coral reefs for snorkelling, a sea turtle sanctuary, a private freshwater meditation lake called Mystery Lake (with loggerhead turtles), and two private islands accessible by boat. The underwater cave systems and geological formations along this stretch of Eleuthera are considered among the most significant in the Caribbean.
What is the Cotton Bay Club development next to Jack's Bay?
Cotton Bay Club sits immediately adjacent to Jack's Bay and is undergoing a major revival. Originally founded in 1959 by Pan Am founder Juan Trippe and philanthropist Arthur Vining Davis, Cotton Bay hosted a Robert Trent Jones Sr. course that became legendary: Arnold Palmer and Julius Boros played a Shell's Wonderful World of Golf match there in 1968. The new development features a Ritz-Carlton Reserve hotel and a Robert Trent Jones II-designed championship course, both targeting a 2027 opening. Together, Jack's Bay and Cotton Bay are creating a twin-anchor luxury destination that is expected to drive increased airlift and international investment to South Eleuthera.
Can I build a custom home at Jack's Bay Club?
Yes: Jack's Bay offers custom estate lots (beachfront and ocean-view) for buyers who want to design and build to their own specifications. All custom builds must comply with Jack's Bay's architectural and HOA guidelines, which cover setbacks, building envelopes, materials, height restrictions, and landscaping standards to maintain the community's aesthetic character. Published pricing for custom villas starts from approximately $2,840,000 for a 2-bedroom configuration and $3,660,000 for a 3-bedroom. Glenn coordinates architect introductions, local builder vetting, HOA guideline review, and construction timeline and cost controls.
What are the annual carrying costs for a Jack's Bay property?
Ongoing costs include: Real property tax: assessed on market value at progressive rates, capped at $150,000 per year. Club/HOA dues: varies by residence type, confirm current rates before purchasing. Property insurance: hurricane coverage is essential, typically 1.5-3% of insured value. Utilities: electricity via BPL, water via cistern or reverse osmosis. Property management: optional if not full-time resident, rates vary. There is zero income tax, zero capital gains tax, and zero inheritance tax in the Bahamas. If renting short-term, add HORC ($700) and business licence fees. Glenn provides a full carry-cost pro-forma tailored to each specific property.
How does Jack's Bay compare to other Bahamas luxury golf communities?
Jack's Bay is the only private residential community in the Caribbean with both a Tiger Woods and Jack Nicklaus course: this combination exists nowhere else. Albany (Nassau): Ernie Els course, marina, urban access: but entry at $5M+ and most properties $10M-$30M. Baker's Bay (Great Guana Cay, Abacos): Tom Fazio course, boat-access only, entry at $5M+. Ocean Club Estates (Paradise Island): Tom Weiskopf course, no private beach, entry at $3M+. Jack's Bay offers the most competitive entry price ($1,995,000 turnkey furnished with private pool) of any ultra-luxury Bahamas golf community, with Cotton Bay's Ritz-Carlton Reserve next door adding a hospitality layer unavailable at other developments.
