3 times the charm?  After his previous 2 projects in Dubai and the Cliffs folded, maybe this place in Cabo San Lucas will work out better

Quote:

A representative for the property said they are in discussions with Woods, but no contract has been signed and nothing can be announced publicly at this time. Developers are "shopping for a big name" and looking to break ground in the "next month or two." The property already boasts a course designed by Davis Love III, which opened to critical acclaim.

An email to Woods' representatives was not returned.

Woods is the designer of Punta Brava, a hyper-exclusive course and development slated to open in 2013 along seven miles of coast line in Ensenada, Baja California. The other two developments Woods was contracted to design - Al Ruwaya in Dubai and The Cliffs in North Carolina - have folded due to the global collapse in the real estate market.

At first I was thinking, Mexico?! Why?? But Cabo is one of the most beautiful places in the world, so I'm sure it will be amazing.

And it's already a big tourist destination.

Is it going to be an 11-hole course?  We all know Tiger quits after 11 holes.

Word on the street is he is going to have a cat house and IHOP at the turn.  This one might actually make it.

The most difficult distance in golf is the six inches between your ears.

This one could be 0/4.  Anyone been to Cabo lately?

My buddies and I used to go every year, but were overcome by marriages and kids--haven't been in 2 years.  But they've been building a ton out there, especially golf courses.  I can think of 5 or 6 courses that have gone up in the last 5 years, and I haven't been there lately.  The issues happening in Mexico have to be affecting Cabo, because my buddies' wives unanimously cringe when we raise the idea of another trip.

Cabo courses were never crowded to begin with (one of the best reasons to go there).  Can't imagine that location can support too many more.

Just stumbled upon this, and I do realize that it's a few years old now.

Interesting to read.  I remember the planning stages of the Tiger Course.  I thought it would stumble and fall like his others too, but no.  It's open.  Two new courses opened last year, plus a third did sort of a re-opening (Chileno)

Actually the courses are still pretty slow, but do get their share of traffic during the season.  There are currently 13 courses open in the Los Cabos area, with 2 more in La Paz.  Another 9 holes are due to open in PLC this year, and another 3 courses planned for the area in the near future.  (Including a second Tiger Woods Course)

Golfers Paradise in Cabo.  Everything came back well after hurricane Odile on the course front.

      Oh I'm dumb, I just noticed I did the MyStrategy from the wrong tee box. I don't think it changes anything, though. I'll play it as a three shot hole and I still don't really want to miss right (guy I played with on Sunday never found his ball he hit just over the trees right). I think the trees left are considered part of the environmentally sensitive area because it's part of the drainage area for the course. I actually like this hole a lot. I'll try to remember to take a picture next time. I probably overestimated the wind speed. We had sustained winds of like 12-15mph with gusts up to 25mph. The wind is actually forecast to be WNW on Saturday instead of WSW like was when I played on Sunday so if I play this hole again the wind will be pushing towards that bunker. Similar speeds, though. Wind is always a factor at this course because there's really nothing blocking it. I'm definitely going to have to pay attention to it, especially with the wind. I hit a handful of short iron approaches a lot farther than I thought I would on Sunday. As of right now the only thing I know for sure is I'm starting on Ridge. I don't know if the back 9 will be played on Meadow or Lake.

      Day 113: 4/18/24 Stack training progress check after finishing my 6th program, and 4th Full Speed Spectrum Training session, which is recommended for my next program.     Gained 1 mph with driver, 195 g, 95g. Maintained with 280 g , and gained 2 with 145 g. Lost 1 mph on both lead and trail arm. Felt like I lost distance in my last round…

      I'd agree that 4w seems like the right play here. I'm not a course designer or anything but that hole looks like it could be so much more fun if everyone played from those front 2 tee boxes that are right outside your shot cone and they cut down most of the trees down that left side of the fairway. That would give risk reward to long hitters who want to try and push it up to that left fairway, allow more players to reach that second fairway, and still allowing it to be perfectly playable for someone who only hits driver like 150yds off the tee.   Yeah it looks like 4iron aimed at that inside edge of the right bunker is the play there, especially if you don't expect a 20mph tailwind again. If it is down wind again, 5iron would be just fine too, it'd still get you inside 150yds for your approach.  Keep in mind tee marker locations too, you measured that one from the back so if those tee markers are moved all the way towards the front of that box then 5 iron is probably best just to be sure that right bunker is never in play.
