Cabo San Lucas and the Los Cabos area, in the span of a few short years, have become one of North America’s hottest golf destinations.
If you’re planning a vacation and more specifically where to golf while you’re here, consider these courses:

From towering cacti and deep arroyos to breathtaking views of the Sea of Cortez, the signature Jack Nicklaus course offers challenges and delights. Divided into the Arroyo Nine, the Mountain Nine and the Ocean Nine, the par-72 course features 27 holes on stunning fairways of more than 7,000 yards.

Puerto Los Cabos – Public Course
Golf at Puerto Los Cabos presents a unique opportunity in that their opening 18 holes are a composite design consisting of 9 holes from Jack Nicklaus and 9 holes from Greg Norman. This allows golfers to experience the difference in design philosophies and enjoy a “sneak-peek” of what each of the final 18 hole courses will look like. Never before has work from these great designers been combined to create 18 holes. Today’s Puerto Los Cabos Course consists of the Front Nine of the Greg Norman Signature course and the Back Nine of the Jack Nicklaus Signature course. Each course offers its own unique style, but the results are similar…..absolute bliss.

Cabo Del Sol – Public Course
A world-renowned Jack Nicklaus Signature design stretching for more than a mile along a coastline of craggy rock outcroppings and sun-washed shores. This championship layout is praised by Nicklaus himself for having the “three finest finishing holes in all of golf.” The 5th and signature 17th holes are currently ranked among “The 500 Best Holes in the World” according to Golf Magazine.
With seven holes fronting the turquoise-blue sea, the Ocean Course at Cabo del Sol is the course that placed Los Cabos, the 20-mile corridor at the tip of Mexico’s Baja California Sur, squarely on the global golf map when it debuted in 1994.

Querencia – Private Course
Querencia, Tom Fazio’s first project in Mexico, is currently ranked the number one golf course in Mexico by Golfweek magazine. A true gem of Baja; a celebration of nature within in a private but relaxed club atmosphere. Fazio’s Querencia offers spectacular views from every hole, a challenging yet playable golf experience that both daunts and delights its players. Harmonious transitions from hole-to-hole, subtle breaks, contoured fairways, uniquely shaped bunkers stations.
Its 18 holes span over 300 acres, carving their way through deep arroyos and resting atop cool, arid plateaus, at the top-ranked golf club in the peninsula. Querencia is a place to live a life (and play a game).
