Cabo Update: Business (Almost) As Usual

After Hurricane Odile it was assumed this year would be a lost one in Cabo, but reports from the west coast's new favorite golf destination are mostly favorable, as I noted in this Golf World item.

Jason Deegan just returned from there and writes:

Migrating humpback and grey whales -- oblivious to the issues on land -- continue to put on a show. I witnessed a whale breach right next to the boat during a whale-watching excursion orchestrated by Nexus Tours. I saw even more spouts while playing golf on the Ocean Course at Cabo del Sol and Quivira, arguably the two best Nicklaus courses in Cabo.

Despite the ongoing cleanup, most tourists won't even notice a hurricane plowed through nearly six months ago. The resorts and courses close to Cabo San Lucas escaped the worst of the storm. The downtown was bustling day and night in mid-January.

Cool hangouts such as Salvatore's Italian Restaurant, Bar Esquina at the Bahia Hotel & Beach Club and Sunset da Mona Lisa all still required reservations to get a prime table.

Deegan also files this review with hole-by-hole images of Tiger's El Cardonal course.
