Diamante Cabo San Lucas
Pacific dunes by Davis Love III and Tiger Woods’s first design, for resort guests only.
Nicklaus on Pacific cliffs and dunes, with food and drink stations included in the fee.

Quivira is Jack Nicklaus at his most theatrical. The course starts on the beach below Cabo San Lucas, climbs to rocky cliffs above the Pacific, then drops back through dunes and desert to finish by the sand. It opened in 2014 and was soon named to Golf Digest’s World’s 100 Greatest. Play is limited to guests of Pueblo Bonito resorts and Quivira owners, so where you sleep decides whether you can play.
To play Quivira you must be a resident or a guest at a Pueblo Bonito resort in Los Cabos. Quivira owners, including at Copala, Montecristo Estates and Novaispania, also qualify. Request tee times through the golf club or your resort concierge, or book one of Quivira’s stay-and-play packages with Pueblo Bonito. Times are sold in three bands: prime from 7am to 10.45am, mid-morning from 11am to 12.30pm, and twilight after 12.45pm. Green fees include tax, cart, the range and all food and drink at the four comfort stations. Non-playing riders are not allowed, because of demand.
June–September twilight rate, tax included; October–May prime time US$465. Cart, range and comfort-station food and drink included. Prices change by season and booking route, so confirm the current rate with the operator. Official rates ↗
Quivira is a par 72 of 7,085 yards from the championship tees, with several sets of forward tees. The par-four 1st sets out along the ocean with desert lining the left side, but the round really starts once you climb. The holes in the middle of the round sit on cliff tops where the tee shot drops far below to the fairway. Nicklaus mixed cactus, arroyos, dunes and rock so that no two stretches feel alike. The clubhouse, a thatched building about as tall as a palm tree, stands right above the beach between the 1st tee and 18th green. The range runs alongside the ocean, split by a dune ridge into a beachfront side and a sheltered desert side.
Book your Pueblo Bonito stay first, then reserve tee times as early as you can for the October to May season, when prime mornings are popular. The club publishes its greens aerification dates each January. In October 2026 these fall on the 13th, 14th and 22nd, with the course closed on the first day and discounts during recovery. The comfort stations make it easy to stay fed and hydrated on hot cliff-top holes.
Los Cabos International (SJD) is about 50 minutes away by the Corridor highway. Quivira lies on the Pacific side of Cabo San Lucas, below the Pedregal headland, a short drive from the marina and town centre. Pueblo Bonito’s Pacifica and Sunset Beach resorts are within the Quivira development itself.

Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort, adults-only, and Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach Golf & Spa Resort sit on the Pacific beach inside Quivira, a few minutes from the first tee. The Towers at Pacifica offers larger suites. Montecristo Estates Luxury Villas suit groups. Pueblo Bonito’s Rosé and Blanco resorts on Medano Beach, in town, are cheaper options with golf access. The St. Regis Los Cabos also stands within the Quivira development.
Diamante, about 15 minutes north, is just as exclusive: you have to stay there to play. The Cabo del Sol Course, about 25 minutes east, takes outside visitors, as do Palmilla and Cabo Real further along the Corridor. Off the course, a short taxi ride takes you to the Cabo San Lucas marina for boats to El Arco. From December to March, humpback whales often pass close enough to see from the cliff-top holes.
October to May is the main season, with dry air and the full rate. June to September brings lower prices, around 15% less, and much hotter days. The Pacific hurricane season peaks from August to October. Aerification closes the course for a day each month from July to October.
