Whether you’re a Palmilla resident or simply in town to enjoy the luxuries of Los Cabos, there are plenty of places to enjoy a game or two of golf. Here is a list of some of the best golf courses in the region, providing everything from casual play to members-only experiences.

Palmilla Golf Club


Stay local with a trip to Palmilla Golf Club to play its famous 27 holes split among three courses, all of which envelope Baja’s spectacular landscape. Recognized as the “Grand Dame of Los Cabos golf,” this three-section course is the first Jack Nicklaus Signature design in Latin America. Masterfully conceived and created, the golf course is gorgeous and challenging, offering picturesque vistas of the Sea of Cortez from all 27 holes. Once you’ve had your fill of golf between the ocean, arroyo, and mountain sections, head to the Mexican-style clubhouse, on-site golf shop, or the Palmilla Grill for a post-game snack and top-shelf margarita.

The Dunes Course was ranked #36 on Golf Magazine’s list of the Top 100 Courses in the World in 2019. This David Love III-designed course weaves through Pacific dunes, offering breathtaking ocean views from nearly every hole. The Tiger Woods-designed El Cardonal course is Diamante’s second championship course and Tiger’s first-ever golf course design. Heavily influenced by the SoCal courses Tiger grew up playing, El Cardonal brings back the need for strategy in golf, with several options for navigating each hole. Given this challenging course, Diamante’s signature on-course comfort stations, and the dramatic long-range Pacific Ocean vistas, El Cardonal is a can’t-miss golf experience.

Now a private course available to members and their guests, this 18-hole course stretches across the desert, mountain, and beach terrain.

The Tom Weiskopf Signature Desert Course is a masterful course that melds Baja’s desert and ocean with canyon-like arroyos that are as astonishing as they are challenging. The sea makes for an idyllic backdrop for this 18-hole course featuring various elevation changes and impressive. Regardless of the course you choose, you’re bound to return to Cabo Del Sol once you’ve played a round or two.

Tees, greens, and fairways at Rancho San Lucas are surfaced in SeaDwarf Paspalum. This drought-tolerant, disease-resistant cultivar uses a fraction of the typical pesticides, insecticides, and fertilizer required by normal grasses.
