Sinaloa, Mexico – Landscapes Unlimited has been awarded the contract to plan and develop a new golf course named El Ebano at the Cardon Adventure Resort, located 45 miles north of Mazatlán. The project is set to enhance recreational offerings in this region through its comprehensive design and sustainable construction practices. Construction for the 18-hole championship course is slated to begin in the first quarter of 2026, with an expectation that at least nine holes will be playable by 2027. Full project completion is anticipated by the end of 2028.
The golf course will be designed by acclaimed architect Mike Nuzzo, who has a strong portfolio including award-winning projects such as Cabot Citrus Farms. El Ebano will feature a 6,900-yard, par-72 layout, which uniquely weaves through the area’s mountains, offering stunning Pacific Ocean views from 12 holes. This strategic routing not only presents a challenge for golfers but also enhances the overall aesthetic of the course.
Landscapes Unlimited’s Project Development Group will manage all aspects of the project, encompassing design and engineering, permitting, contractor selection, project administration, and budget planning. The company is recognized for its quality and reliability in golf course development, making it a fitting choice for such a significant project.
In addition to the golf course, El Ebano will be integrated into a low-density residential master plan that encompasses a variety of recreational activities. Planned amenities include ocean and pool surfing, fishing, mountain biking, skateboarding, hiking, and racquet sports. This multifaceted approach aims to cater to a wide range of interests and promote a vibrant community atmosphere.
Cardon Adventure Resort has been operational since 2006, focusing on generating sustainable development through responsible tourism within the local community. This aligns with the resort’s overarching goal of fostering ecological and social sustainability. The development of El Ebano is expected to further contribute to these objectives.
Marvin Cruz, who oversees Landscapes Unlimited’s operations in Mexico and the Caribbean, has highlighted the dramatic scenery of the site, which pairs mountain landscapes with ocean vistas. His extensive experience includes collaborations with renowned golf course designers such as Tom Fazio and Jack Nicklaus, ensuring that El Ebano will meet high design standards.
Landscapes Unlimited has a solid 48-year history as a family-owned company recognized for its leadership in golf course development, construction, renovation, and advisory services. The firm currently manages several golf projects across Mexico and has built a strong reputation within the industry, assuring stakeholders of their capabilities in delivering such a noteworthy project.
This significant development reflects a growing trend of integrating recreational activities with sustainable tourism, aligning with modern values that prioritize environmental stewardship and community involvement. As both local and international visitors anticipate the completion of El Ebano, it is poised to become a premier golfing destination that emphasizes both natural beauty and recreational enjoyment.
