Cabo San Lucas Golf Courses

Five of the best Golf Courses in Cabo San Lucas

Cabo Golfing

Cabo San Lucas has developed into a mecca for golfers – and is also a popular holiday destination for North Americans and guests from other countries.

Few places offer such a concentration of world-class golf courses as Cabo San Lucas, with more than 18 within the city.

Cabo San Lucas is a place to visit if you want a very golf-focused holiday.

This list is far from exhaustive as Cabo really has too many golf courses to adequately describe in brief.

But here are five highly rated courses you can play in Cabo San Lucas.

Questro Golf

With three world-class golf courses, Questro Golf has become one of the best golf courses in Los Cabos, Mexico. The championship golf courses, designed by three different golf legends — Jack Nicklaus, Greg Norman and Robert Trent Jones II — will take you on a breathtaking tour through the stunning scenery of the Baja Peninsula.

Throughout the drive through the picturesque Baja desert, framed by the imposing Sierra Madre mountains, you will be rewarded with breathtaking views of the ocean.

Questro has no handicap or age requirements, but asks all players to maintain a reasonable pace of play.

Cabo Del Sol Golf Club

The club has two courses, with the Cabo Del Sol course, which is open to the public, sharing a property with the private Cove Club Course.

The breathtaking landscape of the Baja forms the backdrop against which the Cabo Del Sol Course (formerly known as the Desert Course) was laid out. Since its opening in 2001, golfers have marvelled at the seamless blend of desert and ocean, with canyon-like arroyos adding to both the challenge of the course and the aesthetics. With views of the ocean from every hole on the course, the Cabo Del Sol Course is a unique feature of the resort town golf experience. The dramatic bunkering and varied elevation changes provide a breathtaking backdrop to your game.

Club Campestre San Jose

Club Campestre San Jose was designed by the world-renowned Jack Nicklaus Signature firm and features 18 championship-style holes. Club Campestre San José invites visitors to enjoy the breathtaking panoramic views, dramatic elevation changes and undulating championship greens of a premier Mexican golf club, with spectacular views of the Sea of Cortez, canyons and mountains. This unique Mexican golf course, hidden in the foothills of the Sierra and offering spectacular ocean views from every hole, has been designed with exquisite precision and sophisticated elegance.

Club Campestre is the first golf course to use the saltwater-resistant “paspalum” grass, which is easier to maintain at local latitudes and in the local desert conditions.

Palmilla Golf Club

The Palmilla Golf Club in Los Cabos, Mexico, is famous for its 27 holes of outstanding golf and breathtaking views. It is not called the “Grande Dame of Los Cabos Golf” for nothing.

Designed by Jack Nicklaus, it is the first golf course in Latin America that is both beautiful and challenging. It is a world-class masterpiece that can compete with the best courses on the international stage. You can see the Sea of Cortez from all 27 holes of this golf course in Cabo.

Cabo Real Golf Course

The centrepiece of a 2,800-acre resort and residential community with 3.2 miles of coastline, Cabo Real Golf Club features a Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed course with multiple themes and objectives.

The front nine of Cabo Real, which Jones completely redesigned based on a previous course, offers a beautiful, soft challenge with wide fairways that slope toward the Sea of Cortes. The short par-4 fifth hole, which crosses a stream on its way to the shore, is an impressive example of the mix of beauty and challenge.

The long back nine of Cabo Real is a superb test of golf with stunning holes carved into the desert slopes at the foot of steep mountain peaks. Free-form bunkers and short, elevated greens mix with fairways that run along the ridges and make the most of the rugged terrain.
