bahamas Fazio's Seventh

Discovery Land Company has developed close to a dozen golf communities, six of them with courses designed by Tom Fazio. The seventh is expected to open sometime this summer, at the 585-acre Baker’s Bay Golf & Ocean Club in the Bahamas.

The gated, guarded, automobile-free community is located along Great Guana Cay, part of the Abaco Islands, and it’ll eventually have 248 estate houses, 100 single-family houses, a marina with slips for more than 150 mega-yachts, 22 boathouse villas, and a private beach club with 30 cottages. (If you’re wondering, Fazio’s 7,327-yard track is almost completely surrounded by houses.)

Fazio’s previous work with Scottsdale, Arizona-based Discovery Land includes Iron Horse Golf Club in Whitefish, Montana; Gozzer Ranch Golf & Lake Club in Coeur d’Alene, Idaho; and Madison Club in La Quinta, California.

Discovery Land says it closed on nearly $43 million worth of property at Baker’s Bay last year, but caveat emptor: The hurricane season in the Bahamas lasts from June through November.
