Great golf, great food, great lodging alternatives for every budget, reasonable airfares and above all great weather.
Golfing heaven to me.

A KP during the summer time would also mean half empty golf courses for as many emergency nines as you could possible want to play!!!!
Pretty sures most venues in Cabo would allow replay at very nominal fees n'est pas?

You could build it around the weather guaranteed package we offer with the Sheraton Hacienda del Mar for less than $1000 per person. the package includes unlimited golf here at CDS and we could make side trips to the other desirable facilities.

My understanding is that part of the motivation for KP was to include site members that didn't have the dosh to play some of the big time courses. E.g., my first KP I stayed two nights at a Motel 6, and played four rounds of golf for under $50 each. So perhaps if you get your offer to under $300 per person with four rounds and two nights, I might consider it. ;)

That said, the KP at SLO failed to attract much of a crowd, reportedly because the golf venues were too common.

GJ.I understand,  just giving everybody a hard time and giving my  plug to a market that needs help at the moment and is very deserved of mentioning.

Not arguing for any specific plan, but just mentioning that it was a bigger crowd than the Tahoe KP, which had better courses. Perhaps because of the central (to CA) location of the central coast.

I will second that and would certainly try to attend a KP at Cabo.

The place is absolutely gorgeous, the food to die for, and the quality of the golf speaks for itself.

I noticed that air fares have really taken a dip of late, some real bargains to be had and a trip like this could probably come in cheaper or comparable to anything else in the west. 

If safety is an issue, don't believe what you hear on the media.  Everytime I bring up Mexico to friends, you get the typical response about shootings, drug cartels, and armed guerillas.  People really buy into this silliness.  I have been to Mexico over 20 times, never had an incident.  Of course there is crime . If you are looking for trouble, you can certainly find it, and if you are flashing your money and wearing expensive jewelry, well that is not too smart wherever you go.    What is going on in Chicago and the other big cities?.    How many days do we hear about 5-10 shootings a day in some of these urban centers?.    I would worry about my safety a whole lot more in Sacremento, or LA, or even Vancouver, then I would in Mexicio.

Good luck with the KP!  You guys could do no better than considering Cabo!

Amen Eric.
NEVER ever been concerned with safety, eat in the town every time I go, never a hint of trouble.

The reason I vacation in Nebraska is that everything that gets shot gets eaten.

Then you'd love a vacation in the South, where everything that gets shot or run over gets eaten.

I might be interested, if a KP doesn't materialize in California and I have a clear schedule.  The last hot venue we had was Palm Springs at the beginning of a June. Lows were in the 100s and 36 a day proved to much, even with stellar venues.

How about a King's putter at Reserve Vineyards and Pumpkin Ridge?
You're in charge. ;D

Please don't put Garland in my group - and we certainly cannot endure a roommate situation. Sadly, my involuntary streak of blue has recently been diagnosed as Tequila Tourettes, a rare and incurable condition guaranteed to scorch the ears of such a delicate flower.  ;)

I still want Barny's ass mano-a-mano - and whoever gets closed out has to finish the round naked.  ;D
