E XCLUSIVIT Y In 2010, CostaBaja will unveil the opening of its Gary Player Signature Golf Course — the first of its kind for Mexico and a CostaBaja exclusive. “I am so excited to be doing my first design project in Mexico at CostaBaja Resort & Marina. La Paz is gaining wonderful momentum as a tourist destination and the golf course to be built at this stunning site on the Sea of Cortez will do nothing but contribute to that. I look forward to experiencing the well-known Mexican hospitality during my visits to 6
CostaBaja.” • Gary Player You will love playing on this uniquely designed 18-hole, par 72 course — laid out over the coastal uplands with panoramic Sea of Cortez and desert views. In keeping with Player’s sensitivity to the environment, the course features salt tolerant Paspalum grass and indigenous flora. It will challenge even the most accomplished golfer while providing a magnificent and breath-taking backdrop and sunny skies.
It’s been said CostaBaja is a place where you can hear yourself breath because your mind has finally stopped talking. There is no better way to experience the sensation than by boating the calm turquoise waters of The Sea of Cortez. As you power down, you succumb to the sounds of serenity, of the earth turning towards you for a change.

“The Aquarium of the World� Quoted from legendary diver Jacques Cousteau, The Sea of Cortez offers divers and snorkelers and array of marine diversity.
SUSTAINABILIT Y Since inception, our mission has included protecting the beautiful and delicate ecosystem that surrounds us. Our community is ensconced in nature where visitors can experience a multitude of new adventures to cherish for a lifetime. We have a vested interest in protecting the environment so that you can enjoy a magical and authentic experience. In 1995, Grupo Concord led a funding initiative to secure the purchase of Isla Espiritu Santo, and transfer it to the Mexican Park Service. This monumental effort ensures that the island’s wildlife would be protected by the government including “no catch” zones and protection of endemic species. CostaBaja was recently awarded the Certificate of Environmental Excellence by the Federal Environmental Protection Agency (PROFPA) for its green practices throughout our community. In addition, we uphold the environmental requirements set forth by the Environmental and Natural Resources Secretary throughout our entire development process and have further elevated our green practices to comply with the stringent California (USA) environmental laws.
