Cabo · Pueblo Bonito & Quivira

Cabo San Lucas, Baja California Sur

Pacific cliffs, Jack Nicklaus's most dramatic routing, and an all-inclusive basecamp at Pueblo Bonito Pacifica.

Updated May 2026 · By the Pinseekers Travel team

The short answer

Quivira Golf Club is a Jack Nicklaus signature course built into the Pacific cliffs at the tip of Baja, routing across 1,000-foot oceanfront elevations. Pinseekers Travel uses Pueblo Bonito Pacifica as the all-inclusive adults-only basecamp, with optional add-ons at Cabo del Sol or Diamante. Best months are October through April for cool, dry weather.

On the Ground

“Quivira's elevation changes are deceptive. The cliffs make every yardage feel different than it plays. We always start groups with a range session focused on three-quarter wedges - that one club becomes the most-used in your bag here, and dialing it in saves four to six shots over the trip.”

Billy Belair, PGA Professional · Co-Founder, Pinseekers Travel

Quivira Golf Club

Jack Nicklaus Signature (2014) · Pacific cliffside / desert links · 7,139 yds, par 72

Six oceanfront holes routed along 1,000-ft cliffs at Land's End. Nicklaus called it the most dramatic site he'd ever worked with. Comfort stations stocked with food and drink at every other hole.

Cabo del Sol - Cove Club (Cabo Real)

Jack Nicklaus (1994) / Tom Fazio renovation (2023) · Desert resort, oceanfront finish · 7,063 yds, par 72

Newly renovated by Fazio, with three holes on the Sea of Cortez. A great pair with Quivira to give the trip both Pacific and Cortez coastlines.

Diamante - Dunes Course

Davis Love III (2009) · Pacific dunes links · 7,317 yds, par 72

Top-ranked Mexican course. Native dunes, firm fescue corridors, and a true links feel. Add-on for groups that want a third marquee round.

Quivira - Twilight 9

Jack Nicklaus Signature · Replay round · Variable (front 9 replay)

Late-afternoon replay on Quivira's front nine - sunset over the Pacific from the cliff holes is the photo of the trip.

Lodging & basecamp

Basecamp: Pueblo Bonito Pacifica Golf & Spa Resort (adults-only, all-inclusive)

Pacifica is the adults-only all-inclusive option in the Pueblo Bonito family - quieter, no kids, oceanfront infinity pool, and shuttle access to the broader Quivira ownership. Larger groups (16+) can split with Pueblo Bonito Sunset Beach next door.

When to go

October-April is the prime golf window: highs in the 70s-80s F, low humidity, near-zero rain. November-March is peak season (and peak pricing). Summer (June-September) is hot and humid, with hurricane risk in August-September.

Getting there & transfers

Direct flights into SJD from most US gateways (DAL, IAH, LAX, PHX, JFK, ORD, ATL, MSP). Flight times: 2-5 hours. Pinseekers arranges group transfers (~$300-$500 per van round-trip). All-inclusive shuttles run between Pacifica and Quivira's clubhouse.
