Jack Nicklaus may be itching to design the golf venue for the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro, but his first course in Brazil may take shape on a waterfront site in the state of Piaui.
Delta do Parnaiba Empreendimentos Turismo e Incorporacoes, SA (a.k.a. Parnaiba Delta Enterprises) has hired Nicklaus Design to create an 18-hole course for Kuarade, a resort community in Luis Correia, on Brazil’s northeastern coast.
Besides the golf course, the 475-acre community is expected to consist of 1,500 single-family houses and other housing types, three hotels, and a retail/commercial area.
A promotional piece calls Kuarade “a luxury resort of a quality yet unknown in most of the country.”
It’s the first golf venture for Delta do Parnaiba, which is based in Spain but has an office in Teresina, the capital of Piaui.
The company is currently gathering permits, and it hopes to break ground on the golf course in 2011.
