Kalen:
The course was in play for a few months, but I never got down there in that period, unfortunately.
I do have some good photos of it via Larry Lambrecht. I don't have an account through which to post them, but if someone else does, I might be able to send over a few.
I did look at building a par-3 hole around the bay on the south end of the course, but one of the clients had a home near the green site, and didn't want that to happen. Had we done so, it would have prevented the very short par-4 14th hole from getting right to the bay, and that was one of the best holes on the course. The other holes I thought were really good were the par-5 9th, the par-4 11th and 12th, and the 18th.
It was a weird job, though. The project changed hands a couple of times during the planning and construction process . . . the guys who got me interested originally were going to build a first-of-its-kind boutique hotel a bit to the south of the course, but then they backed away right after I signed the contract. It wasn't as much work as our project in China, but it was a close second for the amount of time and talent wasted.
Also -- no, I wouldn't rent a car in Cabo. I'm sure you'd be fine if you just stuck to the main drag, but if you do that, you can take taxis wherever you need.
