Golf is one of the most popular sports in the area. Golfers are offered state-of-the-art courses that not only allow them to play, but to enjoy the beautiful landscape of the desert meeting the ocean ~ a unique and unforgettable combination.
There are two Jack Nicklaus-designed courses, one Robert Trent Jones II and a Tom Weiskopf-designed course. The best time to play is in the morning, however, the afternoons are preferable for amateurs as there are fewer players and more time to practice. Our Concierge can assist with bookings. Note: Courses tend to fill up, and periodically some switching around is done to secure tee times.
COURSE DESCRIPTIONS
Within the boundaries of this huge oceanfront resort development, nestled among hotels Meliá Cabo Real, Las Ventanas al Paraíso, Casa del Mar and Meliá Los Cabos, lies the magnificent Robert Trent Jones II championship golf course, Cabo Real. The site of the 1999 PGA Senior Slam Tournament, the course is a classic design laid over more than 7,000 yards of verdant landscape with three oceanfront holes.
Ocean Course at Cabo Del Sol, with the Jack Nicklaus Signature Ocean Course, is part of a planned complex of three. Nicklaus says Cabo Del Sol has "the three best ocean finishing holes in the world." The course is situated on the beach at Playa Barco Varado. Guests of the 1,800-acre development have about a mile of beach to play on. Instruction and rentals are available. The par 72 course's front nine is 3,597 yards, with the back nine at 3,440 yards. Brad Wheatley is the Head PGA Pro.
Opened in 2001, the Desert Course at Cabo Del Sol is Tom Weiskopf's first design in all of Latin America. It sits parallel to the existing "Ocean Course" and has ocean views from all 18 holes. The course is designed through canyons, rock outcroppings, lakes and waterfalls with holes routed through changes in elevation. Clubs and shoes are available for rent. Yardage is 7,053 with a par of 72. Brad Wheatley is the Head PGA Pro.
Jack Nicklaus began designing the first signature course in Los Cabos, Palmilla, in 1990; featuring the front "Arroyo Nine" and back "Mountain Nine." Nicklaus described the design as "… designing desert mountains by the sea." Golfers are given spectacular views of the Sea of Cortez from nearly every hole. Green fees include cart, bottled water and use of the driving range. The par 72, Palmilla course "Mountain Nine" is 3,602 yards; the "Arroyo Nine" is 3,337 yards. Bill Schaffer is the Palmilla course resident PGA Pro. Rentals and instruction are available.
