Querencia
Querencia is Cabo’s original private golf club, established in 2000 on 1,800 acres above the Sea of Cortez. The community centers on two Tom Fazio courses, a 58,000-square-foot clubhouse, and a private beach club at Playa Acapulquito, one of Cabo’s premier surf breaks.
About Querencia
Querencia sits in the desert foothills above Costa Azul, 15 minutes from Los Cabos International Airport and a short drive from downtown San Jose del Cabo. The 1,800-acre gated community spans dramatic arroyos and plateaus, with residential neighborhoods positioned to capture views of the Sea of Cortez, golf fairways, and the Sierra de la Laguna mountains.
The community’s anchor is its Tom Fazio golf course, the architect’s first project in Mexico and consistently ranked among the world’s top 100 by Golf Digest. The original Campo Bajo weaves through 300 acres of elevation changes and deep canyons. A second 18-hole Fazio course, Campo Alto, is under construction across 400 acres and expected to open in 2026.
Property options range from custom homesites exceeding one acre in La Loma to contemporary condominiums in Las Verandas and the Ocean Residences, the community’s first beachfront ownership opportunity. The 58,000-square-foot clubhouse houses multiple restaurants, a wine cellar, Q Spa, fitness center, pools, and family amenities including dedicated kids’ and teens’ clubs.
