Fascinating! It's been years, but we used to stay at Estero Beach which was fun, to put it mildly
. But then again, a blockbuster card counted as ID, fireworks were legal, hell, even Gerardo was charting with a sassy, catchy Mexican showtune called "Rico Suave". The blowhole, La Bufadora, is adjacent to the property (interesting when the surf is up). Isla Todos Santos is just offshore; one of the more famous big wave surfing locales.
The pictures don't do the scale of this peninsula justice. Regarding the course; don't see how any architect could screw this one up from a postcard/calendar/perspective....from a design perspective remains to be seen how the Woods people will perform. The property looks to be fairly sloping ala Stone Eagle.
The parallel interior holes are of great interest; the use of shared hazards looks to be addressed on 14/15..and 4/5....a positive on paper at least. More importantly is the manner with which they will choose to separate some of these holes:
- semi-connected (Doak/Stone Eagle)
- subtlety adjacent yet private (Park Jr./Maidstone)
- obnoxiously adjacent yet private (Fazio/Shadow Creek)
- mounded, complete crap (Robinson, et al)
Here's hoping for one of the first two.....
