Over the PGA Tour-LIV Drama? Find Tranquility on These New and Updated Golf Courses

Wherever you stood on the PGA Tour-LIV Golf fight—and now sudden merger—it shouldn’t affect your personal game as summer fires up. 

Elite golf courses across the globe have unveiled the renovations and upgrades they made in recent months. This collection reviews some of the more notable new, reopened, or otherwise evolving golf courses awaiting more rounds this year with new amenities, layouts, or even real estate opportunities. 

Costa Palmas Golf Club – Baja California Sur, Mexico

Designed by Robert Trent Jones II and opened in late 2019 on the East Cape, Costa Palmas Golf Club is an oasis laid out with natural ease across a quiet, once isolated desert. A prime amenity of the elite Four Seasons Costa Palmas resort, the result of the Trent Jones design is a peaceful 18 holes a world removed from the busy tourist courses of Los Cabos.

However, flooding and storm damage forced RTJ2 and company to return to Mexico to reroute holes on the front nine and erase the damage. Now, if a golfer hadn’t had the chance to play Costa Palmas before the partial redesign, he or she would never have any idea that repairs took place.
