Quivira Golf Club



About this course
Quivira Golf Club occupies a dramatic stretch of coastline at the southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Pacific Ocean meets the Sea of Cortez. Jack Nicklaus routed the course across rugged desert terrain marked by granite outcroppings, arroyos, and steep elevation changes, with several holes playing directly along clifftops high above the water. The property's natural topography and oceanfront setting shape the character of the design, which moves through sandy waste areas and native vegetation between the shoreline and inland dunes. The routing includes multiple holes with views of the ocean, and several play close enough to the cliffs that the Pacific becomes a visual and strategic element. The course features significant elevation changes throughout, with some holes descending toward the water and others climbing back into the desert landscape. Nicklaus incorporated the site's rock formations and natural contours into the design, creating a layout that emphasizes the contrast between the arid terrain and the coastline. Quivira opened in 2014 as part of a residential and resort development on the Cabo corridor. The course serves resort guests and members, fitting into the region's concentration of golf facilities that attract visitors to Los Cabos. The design reflects Nicklaus's approach to dramatic coastal sites, using the natural features and ocean presence to define the golf experience. The club includes practice facilities and amenities typical of high-end resort golf properties in the area.

Getting there
Quivira Golf Club sits at the dramatic southern tip of the Baja Peninsula, most readily accessed via Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), a ninety-minute flight from major U.S. hubs and a mere twenty-minute drive from the club's clifftop gates. Private aviation clients benefit from the proximity of Cabo San Lucas's dedicated private terminals, where the transition from tarmac to resort unfolds with practiced discretion. The final approach winds through the resort's gated entrance and descends toward the Pacific, where the course emerges from desert scrub and volcanic rock, its fairways suspended between the Sea of Cortez and the open ocean - a landscape so removed from the ordinary that arrival itself feels like crossing into another realm.
