Located just across the bay from the Cabo San Lucas rocks- Cabo Del Sol boasts Tom Weiskopf’s masterpiece, The Desert Course.

Rocky outcrops, theatrical bunkers, and dramatic clusters of cacti serve as the obstacles in this course. Offering a stark contrast of desert landscaping against serpentine fairways and rolling greens.

The real highlight of this course? Why that would be the sweeping views of the sea from all 18 holes! If you want more, Cabo Del Sol has it!

A second extraordinary course dubbed The Ocean Course was designed by Jack Nicklaus and concludes with what many pros consider to be three of the finest finishing holes in golf.

Fees for both Cabo Del Sol courses range from $95 - $345 USD.

Cabo Real

This golf club lies further up the coast of Los Cabos, in the direction of San José del Cabo.

Cabo Real Course architect, Robert Trent Jones, refashioned its pre-existing layout to playfully resemble the Sierra de la Laguna mountaintops that provide the backdrop to the course.

The rugged Cabo Real course weaves through hilly terrain, steep canyons, and broad arroyos to reach the Sea of Cortez. With astounding views every step of the way… not to mention a notoriously challenging back nine.

Greens fees vary between $140 and $240 USD, and include practice balls, shared golf carts, and bottled water.
