With naturally rolling hills and pitching wedge-proximity to the Sea of Cortez, Los Cabos is the perfect place to build a golf course. The only question is where to put it. Resorts geared toward both monied snowbirds and jello-shooting spring breakers have filled up much of Baja's quiet easter coast, forcing course designers toward the blustery Pacific. This wilder coast once seemed like a inhospitable frontier, but Jack Nicklaus and Tiger Woods are proving that imperfect conditions can make for perfect rounds.

Quivira, the new Nicklaus design, will feature more seaside holes (seven) than any other course in Los Cabos. The course – Nicklaus's twenty sixth in the Caribbean and Mexico – may prove to be his most memorable design. Carved out of massive sand dunes and rugged rocky cliffs, the course wends its way from white sand beaches to private coves and vast desert canyons.
