Legacy Club is a home-away-from-home oasis, exemplifying Diamante’s commitment to excellence and service. This intimate community offers casual luxury where family and friends gather to celebrate and create lasting memories.
A Dream Set in Motion: The Birth of Legacy Club
When Ken Jowdy first visited Cabo San Lucas, he saw more than pristine beaches and striking desert landscapes—he saw potential. It was a place where world-class golf and luxury living could meet in a way that had never been done before. This vision crystallized when an unexpected call from his broker informed him that a prime property was available. Without hesitation, Jowdy turned his car around, canceled his flight, and secured the deal with a handshake. From that moment, Diamante Cabo San Lucas was set on a transformative path that would later give rise to its crown jewel: Legacy Club.
Weekly tours of the property with its previous owner allowed Jowdy to connect deeply with the natural beauty and cultural essence of Cabo. These drives in a Jeep through rolling desert terrain instilled in him a love for the land that would inspire every element of Legacy Club. This passion project has since become the most significant and ambitious expansion within the private community of Diamante, embodying a legacy of connection, elegance, and community.
Cabo San Lucas: A Global Golf Destination
What was once a hidden gem on the Baja Peninsula has grown into one of the world’s most renowned golf destinations. Cabo San Lucas now hosts the World Wide Technology Championship, a prestigious PGA TOUR event that highlights the region’s draw for elite players and discerning travelers. Diamante’s role in this evolution cannot be overstated.
With legendary designers like Davis Love III and Tiger Woods shaping the courses, Diamante has become synonymous with excellence in golf. Two of these courses—El Cardonal and Oasis Short Course—are already beloved by members and visitors alike. Now, Legacy Club’s championship course, designed by Tiger Woods’ TGR Design team, is set to elevate Cabo’s status even further. This new course is more than just a golf experience; it’s a statement of intent, positioning Cabo as an essential stop on the global golf scene.
A Community Built on Connection
Unlike other exclusive golf communities, Legacy Club’s mission is to create a legacy shared by generations. With just 250 invitation-only memberships, the club fosters intimacy and belonging. Its vertical membership model extends privileges to family members, ensuring benefits for all generations.
Legacy Club’s residential offerings cater to a variety of lifestyles. Casual elegance defines these spaces, providing the perfect backdrop for relaxation and meaningful moments. This is not just a place to live—it’s a place where family stories are told and traditions are born.
Diamante & Tiger Woods: The Power of Partnership
Ken Jowdy’s partnership with Tiger Woods and his TGR Design team reflects a shared pursuit of excellence. Together, they’ve created not just golf courses but immersive lifestyle experiences. With The Dunes Course, El Cardonal, and Oasis Short Course already completed, their collaboration is now culminating in Legacy Club’s new championship course—a course that represents strategy, beauty, and playability for all skill levels.
The bond between Jowdy and Woods is a study in shared values. Both men understand that greatness requires meticulous planning, tireless effort, and a willingness to reimagine what’s possible. This shared commitment has also given rise to The Woods Cabo, an upscale dining experience that marries the culinary excellence of The Woods Jupiter with the natural splendor of Cabo’s coastal charm.
The Woods Cabo Restaurant: A Culinary Experience Like No Other
The Woods Cabo, immersed within the breathtaking backdrop of the El Cardonal golf course and the Pacific Ocean, invites guests to savor a farm-to-table dining experience like no other. Here, gourmet cuisine and authentic Baja flavors come together with Mediterranean-inspired flair. Helmed by Chef Larbi Dahrouch, the menu is a celebration of fresh, locally sourced ingredients that transform each dish into a work of art.
Signature dishes range from expertly prepared sushi to premium cuts of meat, authentic wood-fired pizzas, and desserts crafted from the region’s sweetest fruits. This is more than just a restaurant—it’s a sensory experience that embodies the warmth, elegance, and hospitality of the Legacy Club. Open to the public, The Woods Cabo welcomes all to immerse themselves in its unforgettable culinary journey.
A Golf Course Designed to Inspire
At the heart of the Legacy Club experience is Tiger Woods’ newly designed championship course—a lush oasis found within the arid desert landscape. Unlike any course before it, this masterpiece is designed to challenge seasoned pros while remaining enjoyable for everyday golfers.
The course’s lush greenery, rolling hills, and dramatic terrain offer players an unforgettable experience. Five lakes and four streams weave their way through the landscape, creating an interconnected network of flowing water that adds to the visual and auditory beauty of the course. A large waterfall at hole 17 serves as a stunning backdrop, while elevated points offer sweeping views of the Pacific Ocean. It’s a course that not only tests a player’s skill but also immerses them in nature’s splendor.
This course is also a triumph of sustainability. As Cabo’s first course to feature Zoysia grass on its fairways, it enjoys high pest and disease resistance while requiring less water and fewer pesticides. The result is a course that’s as environmentally conscious as it is visually stunning.
Leaders Who Set the Standard
Behind the excellence of Legacy Club’s design and operations are industry veterans whose expertise is unmatched. At the forefront is Michael Abbott, Vice President of Operations for Legacy Club. With a career spanning over four decades, Abbott’s leadership has been pivotal in creating some of the most celebrated golf environments in the world. His previous experience with Bluejack National—another Tiger Woods-designed course—cements his role as a key figure in realizing Legacy Club’s full potential.
Adding depth to the leadership team is Neil Cleverly, the club’s Superintendent. With 33 years of experience in golf course construction and management, including his role as construction superintendent for the 2016 Rio Olympic Golf Course, Cleverly’s attention to detail and sustainability practices are evident in every blade of grass. His efforts ensure that the course remains pristine while harmonizing with the natural environment of Cabo.
A Legacy for Generations to Come
Legacy Club is more than just a golf community—it’s a place where family traditions are created and cherished. It’s a home away from home, where luxury is effortless, and connections are strengthened. Guided by Ken Jowdy’s vision and supported by the excellence of Tiger Woods’ TGR Design team, Legacy Club has redefined what it means to belong to a community.
Here, families come together to create memories, celebrate milestones, and find peace in the natural beauty of Cabo San Lucas. As the community grows, its members become part of a living legacy—a legacy defined not just by luxury but by shared moments and enduring traditions.
