Pristine Bay Resort "Black Pearl" Golf Course Roatan

Pristine Bay Resort

“Black Pearl” Golf Course

A Golf Course on Roatan has been talked about for several years and now it is finally starting to become a reality. We will be having a “Black Pearl” Golf Course!

A Pete Dye Signature Golf Course will be at about the half way mark on Roatan and it will be the best thing that has ever happened to the Island and Roatan property.

Taylor Zimbelman is the man behind the landscaping and the architecture for Pete Dye. Taylor Zimbelman will be the man on site to implement the philosophy that the “Pete Dye family” has in order to make things work.

Pete Dye has become a big name in the Golf world for his designs and eco-sensitive Golf Courses. Over the years Pete Dye and his family have designed over 200 Golf Courses and have always had nature at the top of their list when they implemented Golf Courses and started the designs.

Most of the Golf Courses Pete Dye has designed have been close to the water and therefore Pete Dye had to come up with designs and techniques that would prevent water runoff that would not effect the eco-sensitive habitats. Here on Roatan property is in the same situation and we are happy to have a great name like Pete Dye, with such eco-sensitive thoughts giving his name to this prestigious project.

The Golf Course, Hotel and Marina will be situated on over 400 acres of the best Roatan real estate land available on the Island. Located on the North shore and protected by the second largest reef in the world, this Golf Course with excellent views will be the most prestigious project ever seen on Roatan.

REMAX-on-Roatan.com would like to wish Pete Dye and Taylor Zimbelman the best in their venture and we hope Roatan will be a better place for us all.
