I played Puerto Los Cabos in April of this year and I believe they told me it had been open since last fall. I played it the day after I played the Ocean Course and while it was no where near the quality of the Ocean course, it was in impeccable condition and it was fun play.
Not commenting on PLC this year... the course was rated lat least 3 months before being opened last year. Already been through this with Brad Klein who inexplicably defended the decision yet now ignores a course that is leaps and bounds better and actually open!
As for the quality of the course I will reserve comment. Cabo has its share of excellent courses and many I would recommend before PLC. Drop shot par 3 on the Norman 9 is rather fun I would admit.
Just too much wrong with GOLFWEEK's effort. They list opening dates correctly for some courses in 2008 and 2009 yet the new list offers dates that are several years off? Why does Norman get not credit for half of Puerto Los Cabos?
