FORBES EDITORS' PICK Cabo’s Newest Luxury Golf Resort Is A Winner.

Two-Time Major winner and World Golf Hall of Famer Greg Norman spent 331 weeks ranked Number One in the world, amassing nearly 90 career wins. But one of the best golfers ever did not slow down after hanging up his spikes, and went onto a career as a top notch golf course designer. I’ve played Norman courses from Hawaii to Ireland to Australia, but there is no place he has excelled as much as Mexico, where - just like on the course - he cannot seem to miss.

But now he has outdone himself at Rancho San Lucas, the newest full-service resort community in Los Cabos, “Mexico’s Hawaii,” and one of the world’s best golf - or simply vacation -destinations. Luxury hotels, great golf and famous designers abound in this region at the tip of the Baja Peninsula, where the Pacific and Sea of Cortez come together, but Norman’s course is already getting buzz as a must-play for visiting golfers.

Rancho San Lucas is a new 834-acre upscale gated resort community just 15-minutes from downtown Cabo San Lucas, the region’s major town and a world-famous hotbed of deep-sea fishing (and late-night carousing). The resort is set in rolling desert foothills with an impressive 1.2 miles of Pacific Ocean beachfront, important in an area where many of the resort beaches are un-swimmable. The anchor hotel for the resort is the new Grand Solmar, from a proven Mexican brand, with seven food and beverage venues and a retail market. There are also extensive residential offerings, with The Villas at Rancho San Lucas, The Solmar Residences at Rancho San Lucas and The Norman Estates.

In addition to golf and beach, facilities include an adults-only infinity pool, kids pool with mini waterpark, saltwater lagoon, seaside spa, private beach cabanas, state-of-the-art fitness center, and a whopping 15-miles of jogging and mountain biking trails. A tennis facility, sports complex and Mexican Village with shopping, entertainment, amphitheater, and variety of dining venues are well under construction. More than 100-acres have been preserved as untouched native ecosystem, which along with golf course makes more than a third of Rancho San Lucas open space.
