THE 2008 PEOPLE VS THE PROS PARTICPANTS WILL PLAY
THESE THREE WORLD CHAMPIONSHIP COURSES
Cabo Real Golf Club
This Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed golf course winds its way around beautiful
homes and the exclusive Las Ventanas al Paraiso Resort. While it challenges the
low handicapper, it has multiple tees for players of all levels, but you have to
hit it straight. Fairway sand traps have been placed at distances that require accurate
tee shots as holes move up the mountainside then back down to the beach. The back
nine glides down towards the sea offering dramatic views of this picturesque and
diverse course, with the most spectacular coming from the 15th tee, directly on
the beach, playing along the surf in front of the hotel Melia Cabo Real and the
Las Ventanas al Paraiso.
Club Campestre San Jose
Club Campestre is home to a spectacular clubhouse that is the center of 18 picturesque,
championship caliber holes designed by Jack Nicklaus. While many of the holes have
magnificent views of the Sea of Cortés, all offer challenges that are trademarks
of a Nicklaus course — strategically placed sand traps, gently sloping greens, doglegs
that force players to both fade and draw the ball — so players will be required
to “manage” their game, not just grip it and rip it. At Club Campestre,
low and high handicappers alike will leave knowing they have experienced a true
test of golf.
Puerto Los Cabos
Inspiring views of the mountains, hills and sea at Puerto Los Cabos are the backdrop
for two signature golf courses designed by true legends of the game – Jack Nicklaus
and Greg Norman. The private Greg Norman Signature Course is like a rare vintage,
to be savored only by residents and guests. The Jack Nicklaus Signature Course already
ranks among the most sought after courses to play in Mexico. With a full service,
40,000 square-foot club house, each provides an unforgettable experience for players
at every level of skill. The final televised match will be played on nine holes
from each course.
