Quivira Golf Club is not open to the general public: tee times are limited to guests of the Pueblo Bonito resorts in Los Cabos and to residents of the Quivira Los Cabos communities. Owning a home or condo in Quivira is therefore the most direct way to secure regular access to this Jack Nicklaus Signature course on the Pacific cliffs of Cabo San Lucas.
Below we explain who can book, what the course is like, and what Quivira owners receive, using the club’s and developer’s own published information.

Who is allowed to book a tee time at Quivira Golf Club?
According to the club’s tenth-anniversary announcement, tee times are limited to guests of Pueblo Bonito Golf & Spa Resorts in Los Cabos and residents of the Quivira Los Cabos communities (Quivira Golf Club, Dec 2024). The developer describes the course the same way: reserved for residents and Pueblo Bonito guests (Quivira Los Cabos).
In practice that gives three routes onto the first tee:
- Own in Quivira. Residents of Copala, Coronado, Mavila, Alvar, Monte Cristo Estates, the St Regis Residences and the other Quivira communities can book as residents.
- Stay at a Pueblo Bonito resort. Guests of Pueblo Bonito’s Los Cabos resorts, including Pacifica and Sunset Beach inside Quivira, can book.
- Rent in Quivira. Rules for renters depend on the owner’s arrangement and the club’s current policy, so confirm before you book a villa for a golf trip. Our Quivira rentals page can help.
What is the Quivira golf course like?
Jack Nicklaus routed Quivira along Land’s End, the headland north of Cabo San Lucas, and the club says it has more oceanfront exposure than any other course in Los Cabos. It plays to par 72. The par-3 seventh and fourteenth drop from cliff-top tees, and three holes play over the ocean. The original lighthouse, Faro Viejo, built in 1905, stands near the seventh tee.
The layout has changed since opening. The former 18th, a links-style par 4 to an infinity-edge green, is now the opening hole; a new short par-4 18th was built in 2022; and the Alvar residences now sit on the old 17th corridor. Halfway, golfers stop at The Oasis comfort station. For the full hole-by-hole background see our Quivira Golf Club guide.
Do Quivira homeowners get golf discounts?
Quivira’s developer publishes owner benefits on each community page. For Alvar, for example, owners are offered 25% off Quivira Golf Club owner rates, 20% off food and beverage at Pueblo Bonito resorts and the Steakhouse at the golf club, and 20% off Armonia Spa treatments (Alvar owner benefits). Coronado owners are offered discounts at Pueblo Bonito resorts, the Quivira Steakhouse, Armonia Spa and the golf club.
Benefits vary by community and can change, so we confirm the current owner package in writing for every buyer before closing. Green-fee amounts are not published publicly; ask the club or ask us for the current resident rate sheet.
Is Quivira Golf Club a private membership club?
Quivira is best described as a resort-and-resident course rather than an equity membership club. Access comes from owning or staying in Quivira rather than from buying a separate membership. Quivira residents also have a separate members-only Beach Club, which opened in November 2022 with a pool, gym, beach deck and the La Concha restaurant-bar (Beach Club announcement).
Is a second golf course coming to Quivira?
Yes. The Nicklaus design team announced a second Jack Nicklaus Signature course for the northwest area of the 1,850-acre development, with some holes in the desert foothills and arroyos and ocean views from the southern section (The Golf Wire). No opening date has been published, so we would not pay a premium for a home on the strength of the second course alone.
Which Quivira homes are closest to the golf course?
Copala and Coronado sit in the foothills with ocean and fairway views, Alvar is built along the former 17th corridor, and Mavila overlooks the course. Our earlier post on homes near Quivira Golf Club covers locations, and you can compare current listings on the Quivira homes for sale page.
