Of course, a packed property also came out to see 49 other top-ranked golfers from around the world as Doral played host to the prestigious World Golf Championships \u2013 CA Championship.<\/p>\n<p>To be sure, Tiger took center stage for most of the tournament, but just off the 17<sup>th<\/sup> green in a comfortable Alliance Suite setting, principals behind Pristine Bay Resort and the famed father-son golf design team of Pete and Perry Dye certainly made their presence felt as they showcased Honduras\u2019 first luxury master-planned golf resort community to investors and prospective buyers.<\/p>\n<p>Featuring a gorgeous 400-acre site on the tropical island of Roatan, the Dyes\u2019 soon-to-be-opened Black Pearl Golf Course has all the makings of another \u201cto-Dye-for\u201d layout. Located 35 miles off the coast of Honduras next to the world\u2019s second largest barrier reef, Pristine Bay also is actively building a 120-room five-star boutique hotel in a joint venture with Houston-based Lancaster Group and private beach club for residents.<\/p>\n<p>Future plans call for a deep-water 156-slip marina with a mixed-use marina village and Central America\u2019s first spa and medical facility, according to Mario Toriello, Pristine Bay\u2019s vice president of sales and marketing. The resort community is currently offering seven different villa homes priced from $670,000 to $1.1 million (29 of the initial 34 are sold), and homesites that start at $230,000.<\/p>\n<p>The opportunity to buy a pristine piece of the \u201cnext great vacation destination\u201d at such relative values was one of the main reasons Americans Brett and Liz Molgren\u00a0 decided to purchase a hillside custom lot. The Houston couple purchased one of the $350,000 lots that overlooks Pete Dye\u2019s signature island green on the 11<sup>th<\/sup> hole.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat lot would\u2019ve been $1 million anywhere else in the Caribbean,\u201d Brett Molgren told the Real Estate Channel last Friday from Pristine Bay\u2019s VIP tent at Doral. \u201cIt\u2019s a very safe, they speak English and it\u2019s a beautiful place.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><em>Editor\u2019s Note: This story ran earlier this year on the Real Estate Channel<\/em> (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.realestatechannel.com\/\">www.realestatechannel.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0 Miami, Fla. \u2013 Golf fans around the world had their eyes set on Florida\u2019s classic Doral Resort and Spa&#8230;  <a class=\"excerpt-read-more\" href=\"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/golfcoursebusiness\/real-estate\/101\/dye-designs-debuts-hondurans-pristine-bay-project\" title=\"ReadDye Designs Debuts Hondurans Pristine Bay Project\">Read more &raquo;<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":102,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[8,225,17],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-101","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-real-estate","category-resort-communities","category-courses-and-travel"],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/golfcoursebusiness\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/8\/2009\/11\/Pristine_Bay.jpg","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/golfcoursebusiness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/golfcoursebusiness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/golfcoursebusiness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/golfcoursebusiness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/golfcoursebusiness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=101"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/golfcoursebusiness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":204,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/golfcoursebusiness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/101\/revisions\/204"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/golfcoursebusiness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/102"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/golfcoursebusiness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=101"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/golfcoursebusiness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=101"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/theaposition.com\/golfcoursebusiness\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=101"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
