Jagged mountains and the Sea of Cortez surround Tom Doak's first course design in Mexico.
All 18 holes of architect Tom Doak’s first course design in Mexico opened in late November on a desolate spit of eastern Baja coastline where the rugged hills crash into the Sea of Cortez.
Doak’s layout anchors the 4,000-acre Bahia de los Suenos, a residential and resort project well removed from the population centers of La Paz to the north and Los Cabos to the south. The ambitious project has six miles of coastline, and the course opens and closes along a scenic cove. This is the first course on which Doak has used saltwater-tolerant Paspalum grass.
The course is open for play by prospective property owners and their guests.

I was fortunate enough to be invited to play this magnificent course with the visionary behind the Bahia de los Suenos project... To say it is phenomenal just doesn't do it justice.
It was breathtaking! As you navigate your cart through the Cardons (cactus) from one fairway to the next you are greeted with surprise and astonishment that a course of this beauty and creative design could possibly be in such an isolated and magnificent Baja hideaway.
It was truly the most memorable golfing experience of my life... just go!
