Profitability for Developers
Nicklaus Design has created more than 400 golf courses worldwide, and its impact on real estate developments is significant. These projects generate:
Sales of premium lots Land near Nicklaus courses sells at higher prices, with historical values around $90,000 per lot (adjusted for inflation).
Higher Overall Revenue:
In the post-pandemic context, properties associated with golf courses have gained popularity, especially in tourist markets such as luxury resorts or growing cities. Nicklaus courses reduce investment risk by providing stable long-term income through memberships.
Developers see higher returns when combining golf courses with luxury residences. For example, in private communities, the golf course serves as the centerpiece, attracting buyers seeking an exclusive lifestyle and generating additional revenue through memberships and events.
In the post-pandemic context, properties associated with golf courses have gained popularity, especially in tourist markets such as luxury resorts or growing cities. Nicklaus courses reduce investment risk by providing stable long-term income through memberships. In projects where Nicklaus has designed courses, the results are clear. For example, in developments that combine golf and residences, lots have sold at premium prices, and adjacent land has increased in market value. Urban strategies have leveraged these courses to finance projects through real estate sales, creating a virtuous cycle of appreciation and profitability.
Quivira Golf Course
The impact of Quivira goes beyond the real estate market by generating stable income through tourism. Recognized as one of the best golf courses in Mexico by publications such as Golf Digest, Quivira attracts international golfers who pay green fees ranging from $200 to $400 per round, depending on the season. Additionally, the course has hosted high-profile events, such as charity tournaments and weddings, which further increase its economic value. In the post-pandemic context.
In the Quivira development, residential lots near the golf course have been sold at premium prices, with initial values ranging from $250,000 to $500,000 per lot, depending on location and proximity to the course. These figures far exceed the historical average of $90,000 reported in other Nicklaus projects (adjusted for inflation). Residential communities such as Copala and Montecristo Estates, which are part of the development, have seen property values increase by 15% to 25% compared to similar properties in Los Cabos without a golf course of this caliber. This rise is due to the prestige of Nicklaus’s design, with signature holes like the 5th and 6th offering dramatic views and attracting international buyers, particularly retirees and golf enthusiasts.
The Quivira golf course reduces investment risk by generating stable long-term cash flows. Mavila 113 attracts international buyers (U.S., Canada) seeking exclusivity: access to the Jack Nicklaus Signature Course (with more ocean exposure than any other in Los Cabos) and events such as tournaments. During the Los Cabos real estate boom (with property values growing 20% annually), this enhances the profitability of resales or rentals (up to 60% occupancy in peak season). Factors such as location (10 minutes from downtown Cabo, near schools like Colegio Leonardo Da Vinci) and impeccable maintenance ensure economic resilience.
