It’s
Official: Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf
Course Coming to the Guanacaste Country Club
in Liberia
Frank Biden, brother of U.S. Vice President
Joe Biden, and Co-Developer of the largest
country club residential community in Costa
Rica, the Guanacaste Country Club, and Jack
Nicklaus, held the official signing today
for the design and construction of the new
Jack Nicklaus Signature Golf Course.
The community is located just 15 minutes
from the Liberia International Airport which
is in the process of construction of a new
terminal to handle the enormous growth of
the Guanacaste Province.
This first Nicklaus Signature Course now
under construction in Costa Rica brings
along with it a Nicklaus Academy that will
create a unique golf experience.
Additionally, the environmentally and
socially responsible methods of development
create awareness to a country already a
leader in both in Central America.
The Nicklaus brand will also add enormous
value to the 1200+ homes to be built in this
large, luxury Costa Rica golf community. All
levels of play will be accommodated, and the
course will include gallery support for
tournament play, multiple water influences,
and plenty of bunkers
“As a partner in the project, I have
personally spent time with the Nicklaus team
and have been amazed at the sensitivity to
detail, the environmental awareness, and the
talent and experience that makes the
Nicklaus brand our choice for Costa Rica,
and our other projects in Central America,”
said Frank Biden. Additionally, I am a
personal friend and business associate of
Jack’s son Steve who, along with all his
brothers, is a partner in the family
business. I know the pride they take in
their work and the responsibility they feel
toward their dad and the family. We are all
proud of the Nicklaus families know how and
their commitment to the environment and the
local community in Costa Rica. Helping us
make this project something spectacular is a
matter of pride for the whole team.”
Independent research has shown that
communities that feature a Nicklaus-designed
golf course as an amenity have enjoyed the
highest real estate value, the highest
average home price, and the greatest
increase in home and lot sales. The
Guanacaste Country Club aims to combine the
luxury of the gated community with the
logical price and environmental
responsibility. Additionally, the Nicklaus
Academy will bring state-of-the-art golf
training to Costa Rica.
“Our goals are pretty simple and have not
changed, nor have they been diluted by the
economic crisis. This new development model
provides Luxury Living at a Logical Price.
All of our planned projects in Latin America
establish their pricing based upon the value
to the customer and the surrounding
communities, and the quality of the Real
Estate, Amenities and Services,” Craig
Williamson said, Chairman of the Guanacaste
Country Club. “It is indeed possible to
marry ‘luxury lifestyle’ with common sense
pricing and environmental and social
responsibility. The Guanacaste Country Club
and Nicklaus Design together are proving
this in Costa Rica.”
The Nicklaus golf course construction will
start by the beginning of 2010. Pre-sale
pricing of lots and homes runs until January
15th, 2010. |
