Designed by Jack Nicklause and his son, Jack Nicklaus II, the Peninsula de Cortes Golf Course is an 18 hole, par 72 sand dune course surrounded by flora, fauna and 1.5 miles of beach front on the Sea of Cortes. Peninsula is a uniquely challenging course that is completely surrounded by water. Almost every hole has marvelous wind-swept views of the sea or the natural estuary.
Hole 6 is the 190-yard signature par 3 with four bunkers surrounding the green and a lake with tidal surges connected to the natural estuary between the tees and green complex.
Operated by Albatross Golf Courses, the largest golf course operator in Mexico, it is the first of three golf courses planned for the La Jolla de Cortes master development.
