A series of adverts shown on UK TV were based around a family taking a holiday at a Polaris World resort and being badgered by Nicklaus to play golf, but unable to do so because there were so many other attractions and facilities. Since 2006, the president of the company, José Luis Hernández, has been featured with existing Polaris World resorts in the background.
