During the opening ceremony where Nicklaus played the first hole, were representatives of the tourism sector, leaders of the state and other local personalities. In his speech, the principal investor and hotelier, Ernesto Coppel, said: “This project will not only offer golf lovers another great reason to visit Los Cabos, but also be of great benefit in terms of hotel occupancy for the entire destination”
