Quivira to Tee Up Two Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses

Development to feature the most oceanfront holes in Baja

Los Cabos, Mexico (October 8, 2006) – Quivira (originally conceived as Cabo Pacifica), Mexico’s premier luxury residential resort community, announced today a partnership with Nicklaus Design, the world’s leading golf course design firm, to create two Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses within Quivira, an exclusive, new 1,850-acre community with three miles of pristine beach located in Los Cabos, Mexico. Crews will break ground on both courses in April 2008, with the first course expected to be open for play in Summer 2009.

“Quivira will be the leading luxury residential and resort community in Mexico, and with Jack Nicklaus on board, we are ready to build the best golf courses in North America,” said Ernesto Coppel, developer of Quivira. “We have a unique property on which to create a legendary golf experience, and with Nicklaus, the perfect partnership to accomplish it.”

“We have a great piece of property on which to work,” said Jack Nicklaus. “We have an opportunity here to let this unique and diverse property dictate a course design to take advantage of the natural topography. In the end, the combination of our team and the canvas Mother Nature provided us will allow us to create some of the more spectacular holes you will find in or outside of Mexico.”

The two courses within Quivira will offer players golf at its finest with some of the most scenic and breathtaking backdrops in the world. Together, the courses will feature more oceanfront holes than any other development in the Cabo area. The unique setting and exceptional Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Courses will take advantage of the varied natural terrain to create holes that play within the canyons, intertwine with massive sand dunes, and hug the ocean to offer golfers some of the most spectacular views and most memorable golf experiences found anywhere.
