The Woodlands on Nipomo MesaSunday, May 22, 2005I had the honor of playing golf this morning at Blacklake Golf Resort with the builder heading up the new Woodlands development on Nipomo Mesa - a development described as one of the largest developments in San Luis Obispo County history. I learned that SLO County golfers have much to anticipate! Nestled in the awe-inspiring eucalyptus groves just minutes from the Pacific Ocean is the future home of The Woodlands. The Woodlands includes 1,300 properties - 1,100 of which make up a new resort-lifestyle community by Trilogy Central Coast, 2 top-notch 18-hole golf courses along with a 9-hole executive course, a shopping center, business park and 500-room full-service resort including a day spa - it's simply massive in size, with quality to match. The Woodlands is located just southwest of Blacklake Golf Course, 10 minutes from Pismo Beach and only four miles away from the Pacific Ocean with 18 miles of the largest and most biodiverse, coastal-dune lagoon ecosystems on earth, with 1,400 known species of birds, plants and animals. Designed to blend with nature and fully embrace the culture of hospitality, Woodlands will offer everything you could hope for in luxury living; close to every convenience, yet far removed from the reminders of modern life you yearn to escape. Although the development has required the removal of thousands of eucalyptus trees, a 20 acre grove is being set aside as monarch butterfly habitat. The first of the 18-hole courses is already under development along with the 30,000 sq. ft. clubhouse and resort facility, situated near the 1st tee and 9th green. Many of the original eucalypus will line the course's fairways and man-made lakes. This course is designed to challenge the best, surpassing in difficulty San Luis Obispo's current top-tier golf courses at Hunter Ranch and nearby Cypress Ridge. Woodlands should certainly help secure SLO County as a premiere golf destination. Trilogy, a division of Shea Homes, plans to have the first models of the Woodslands ready for viewing this year.
