Cabo San Lucas and San Jose del Cabo have remarkable golf resorts. Here we list the top 5 that transformed this destination into one of the top international golf destinations in the world. This list is only the public or semi private golf resorts not the members only courses.
The One and Only Palmilla-
Listed previously as one of the top Ultra Luxury Resorts for good reason. The One and Only Palmilla makes the grade also as a top golf resort. The Palmilla course was the first course and the first Jack Nicklaus course in Los Cabos. With 3 separate 9 hole courses, the Mountain Course, the Desert Course and the Ocean Course there is nice variety and mature landscaping that deeply contrasts the desert colors with the greenest of grass. Most of the holes are across the highway side of the corridor but have spectacular views of the coastline and the Sierra de la Laguna Mountains. Enjoy a nice practice facility to work out your swing prior to tee time.
Quivira Los Cabos
This mega-project has been 16 years in the making. The golf course debuted in 2015, oh boy was it worth the wait. Jack Nicklaus certainly designed a jaw dropper of a course. It has been dubbed “The Pebble Beach of Mexico” for its dramatic location along the cliffs of Cabo Falso and the old lighthouse. The resort options are numerous with Pueblo Bonito Sunset as its flagship, Pacifica and the Towers of Pacifica as its adults only all inclusive option and the Montecristo Estates and Novaspania for large villa rentals. Full ownership options are offered as well for those fortunate investors ready to go full or part time. Play the course first and you will be open to the idea of moving here permanently.
Hacienda del Mar at Cabo del Sol
The Ocean course is yet another great Nicklaus course, the second one he built that helped cement Los Cabos as a world class golfing destination. The three finishing holes in particular leave you awestruck and wanting more. A newer Desert course added by the masterful Tom Weiskopf is equally impressive. Hacienda del Mar, a Sheraton hotel and timeshare sits seaside just as you finish the ocean course. With its gorgeous beach, multiple pools, nice restaurant options and full spa, your family will have plenty of non-golfing activities to make everyone content.
The Hilton Beach & Golf Resort
The Hilton, located on the Cabo Real golf course is part of the larger Grupo Questro Golf program. Take advantage of the Questro Golf Pass which gives you access to Nicklaus designed Club Campestre and the Puerto Los Cabos Norman/Nicklaus course. Currently they are expanding Puerto Los Cabos to two separate 18 hole courses in addition to expanding the massive marina project. Robert Trent Jones III designed Cabo Real, a challenging resort course with two distinctly different nines. The front is by far the easier one so better work out your game before attempting the back nine. This resort is in and of itself an exceptional seaside attraction with a swimmable cove and huge pool.
JW Marriott Puerto Los Cabos
This newer addition to the expanding Puerto Los Cabos marina project is designed in a modern style along the dunes of the Sea of Cortez. Soon to be a shared project with the Ritz Carlton Reserve opening early in 2018. In addition the second full golf course is well under way which will total 18 Nicklaus and 18 Norman holes. Until then the two courses are striking in the style differences but both impressive. Offering an all inclusive food and beverage package which includes “comfort stations” with high quality tequila. Beware, the last three holes may get a bit sloppy but enjoyable. Start at the full practice facility to stretch out your back and begin a good round.
