Estates West Golf Living - July/September 2007
"Despite the building boom that has transformed Los Cabos over the past 15 years, the small town of Todos Santos-only 40 minutes north-has remained quiet and authentic. But plans have recently been announced (it was inevitable) for the community's first upscale golf resort/real estate development, Punta Lobos. Thankfully, the Santa Ana family has stewarded the 1,800 seaside acres where the development is planned since 1803, and has commissioned Arthur Hills/Steve Forrest and Associates-known for their environmentally-sensitive approach-to design the golf course."

Golf Digest - Cozy California - December 2006
"If you want scenery and solitude, the Crosscreek Golf Club ( $105 with a cart on
weekends, crosscreekgolfclub.com ) is the best of the area's courses, having received
four and a half stars in Golf Digest's Best Places to Play guide. The Arthur Hills-designed
course, opened in 2001, is only 6,832 yards from the back tees (par 71), but don't
let that fool you. Its routing across creeks, up and down hills and around huge
oak trees helps give it a solid 140 Slope Rating from the tips."
