Cabo Real Golf Club features a multi-themed, target-style course designed by Robert Trent Jones, Jr.
Opened in 1993, Robert Trent Jones designed this par 71 course measuring 6,848 total yards from the tips, with complete practice facilities and Bermuda grass. A challenging course for high handicappers, Cabo Real has one of the memorable layouts combining ocean, desert and mountain views. It hosted Senior Slam Events in 1996 and 1999 where TV crews captured whales breaching as a backdrop to the ocean holes. A recent remodel after Las Ventanas al Paraiso bought the 5th hole to build oceanfront hotel villas; Robert switched the 9’s so that the 1st 9 is friendly in comparison to the demanding back 9.
With breathtaking holes chiseled into desert foothills at the foot of rugged mountain peaks, Cabo Real’s longer back nine presents a great test of golf. Free-form bunkers and small, elevated greens combine with fairways that play along ridge tops, to provide an expansive feel.
Cabo Real’s front nine provides a scenic, gentle test with broad fairways tumbling down to the Sea of Cortes, notably at the short par-4 fifth, which plays across an arroyo en route to the beach. The par-3 6th hole is propped up on a seaside bluff, which look-ing back will reward you with a view of endless palm trees and beautiful white sand beach.
Golf Rates $140. – $240.
