Golf in Cabo San Lucas?

5150 · Jul 23, 2015

I'm starting to plan a Cabo San Lucas vacation for Mrs. 5150 and I next spring and could use some intel. Anyone had a good experience down there with a particular resort and/or golf course?

Thanks!

Cabo Del Sol is about $200, La Palmilla was under $100 iirc

I was JUST going to post this thread. I"m actually going to play http://quiviragolfclub.com/ when I'm there in September. I've heard and read incredible things about it and my soon to be wife will enjoy the ride

Not sure if I'll play more than the one time though.

I was just there a few weeks ago and while I didn't go for golf (what?), but more to veg on the beach with the gf, I will say that the recovery from the disastrous hurricane last year is pretty impressive. Most of the critical infrastructure is rebuilt and functioning smoothly. There are gaps in cell and internet coverage with some hotels still closed or operating only at half capacity or less with many amenities being rebuilt completely. The courses I saw looked in good shape with the same type of construction projects as those at the hotels scattered among them. It was Mexico's worst disaster ever I believe, but the Mexican President has significant investments there, hence the "all in" effort to bring it back up to par. Hope you have a great time!

I was down in April and Pamilla only had 9 holes open. I played Cabo Real, it was in rough shape. The hurricane blew out the irrigation system and trashed many of the buildings. They were hoping to have it back in perfect shape this fall. Try*Club Campestre, it is a great course, I've played there 3 times. I also played the Cabo San Lucas CC. It was nice. Good track. Nice layout. Tough greens. Check with the hotel joy want to stay at and see if they have any deals through the hotel. We stayed at Villa Del Palmar (it was OK) and they had discounted rates at a few course. My travel agent also told me there is a website that offers golf packages to a few courses down there at a discounted rate. We didn't do it because i only has time for two rounds. I think the deal was for 3 or 5 rounds. Be warned that you have to take a taxi everywhere, and they only take Cash. Be sure to check the rate sheet at your hotel for taxi rides so the cabbies don't try to screw you on the rate. I think I spent about $90 for two cab rides for golf.

I was just down there at the end of June. We stayed at the Secrets Puerto Los Cabos in San Jose Del Cabo. It is outside of Cabo San Lucas and a more tame type setting. The resort was pretty awesome and I have no complaints. The golf course right there on site is Puerto Los Cabos and was a great experience. We were there in "shoulder season" and I paid $110 for twilight rate starting at 1:30 PM. The front 9 is designed by Greg Norman and the back 9 is Jack Nickolaus design. Neat golf course with some amazing views. The cost of golf is higher during peak times but it does include range balls, food, and drink. I will post some picture from my phone in a bit. If you aren't interested in staying in Cabo and doing the party scene this was an awesome place

Puerto Los Cabos

This is the par 3 with a 150 foot elevation change from tee to green. They suggest a 2 club adjustment and I agree.

Recent vacation plans have got me perusing the Cabo golf threads. Looks like my wife and I are going to Cabo in December and she has green lit me for a couple rounds. I'm thinking about playing the Questro courses (Cabo Real & Puerto Los Cabos) as they have a 2 play for $270.

This trip is overdue and I can't wait to tee it up in baja!

darthweasel · Sep 15, 2015

We are hitting Cabo next year, Quivira is the attached course, and the wife asked, "Were you planning the 3-round package or the unlimited?" Trying to think of something i would trade her for, coming up empty...

TheHeez · Nov 30, 2015

Well I am certainly getting excited! Borrowed a travel bag and am taking my clubs with me. Planning on playing Cabo Real and Club Campestre the week of December 20th. Wife and I are staying just down the street from Cabo Real at the Marquis Los Cabos. I truly can not wait!

NewGlfr · Nov 30, 2015

Do you need a caddy? I don't eat much and would be glad to join you!

dhartmann34 · Nov 30, 2015

If you get a chance....go do the Xtreme Baja. Was a lot of fun! http://www.tripadvisor.com/Attracti...Cabo_San_Lucas_Los_Cabos_Baja_California.html We signed up right at our hotel.

Thanks for looking out! I'll check with the wife lady and see if she wants to get radical in a dune buggy. I had thought about going fishing as I grew up fishing in baja with my dad, decided that more golf was what I really wanted. Counting down the days at this point!

Yeah the tour is awesome. Desert, mountains and the beach all within a few hours. I had thought about fishing but hurricane Linda put a stop to that. Few pics from the dune buggy trip...

Not sure if you will be there at the same time...

I just booked Campestre on the 21st and Cabo Real on the 22nd. Both times are early if you'd like to join me!

I can't comment on differences between the first two because I only played Puerto Los Cabos....but I would look into play Puerto Los Cabos. It was a good experience and neat course. Also it won't be around forever since the front 9 is part of a Greg Norman course and the back part of a Jack course.

The trip to Cabo was awesome! The Marquis is an awesome resort and we loved that aspect of the trip. Our first two days were a little overcast and then it was the typical warm and perfect the rest of the trip.

The first round of golf was at Club Campestre and it was a lot of fun. When I arrived there it was overcast with nearly 30 mph of wind. I played well and had a ton of fun playing with an Irishman and his son. The course is pretty forgiving with wide fairways and not too crazy undulations on the green. The Papsallum grass is different and the rough is very grabby.

Here are a few pics of Campestre.

TheHeez · Dec 28, 2015

I played Cabo Real the next day and that was a completely different course. The front 9 plays very fair and is a typical RTJ2 resort style course with loads of bunkers near the greens. The back plays much more difficult with forced carries over arroyos and narrow fairways as you wind your way up the hill. It was in fantastic shape but took my lunch money, I just couldn't figure out the subtle undulations of the green. Still it was a blast to play.

Some shots of Cabo Real...
