1. Diamante Golf course architect Davis Love III brings celebrity stature and golf expertise to the Diamante 18 holes Dunes Course. “You are either playing towards the ocean, along the ocean or away from the ocean,” Love says. “And then, at times, you’re down in the dunes and you pop up and are surprised by the view of the ocean. It’s groundbreaking to put a course like this in a resort area like Cabo.”  2. Country Club Cabo San Lucas
Originally designed by Pete Dye. 18-hole course.
The Cabo San Lucas Country Club course (formerly Raven Golf Club) is an 18-hole design by Pete Dye that was overhauled with the help of the Intrawest Golf Group following the 2001 Juliet hurricane. Representing a challenge for all players, Raven’s fairways are on slope down to the Sea of Cortez, and it’s one of the area’s only courses that provides a view of Land’s End. Raven’s 745-acres are largely untamed desert terrain, and provide habitat for a wide array of plant and animal life. Equally stunning are the fountains and lush gardens at the entrance to the golf club. Watch out for the number 5 hole as it has the highest handicap and plays 446 yards from the back tees!

Jack Nicklaus signature Ocean course
Tom Weiskopf designed Desert Course
Cabo del Sol Featured Real Estate
Of the nearly two miles of ocean frontage, 1.5 miles of it is devoted to holes six, seven, eight, sixteen, seventeen and eighteen. At the par three seventeenth, the golfer is faced with a 178-yard shot over a sandy beach and rock outcroppings to a small green framed by bunkers on one side and a drop to the ocean on the other. The finishing hole, guarded by desert and cactus on the right and rock cliffs leading to the sea on the left, is modeled after the eighteenth at Pebble Beach. A wonderful combination of natural beauty and brilliant architecture, Nicklaus says “Cabo del Sol has three of the best ocean finishing holes in the world.”

4. Cabo Real Golf Course
18 holes Cabo Real Featured Real Estate The magnificent Cabo Real was designed by golf course architect Robert Trent Jones, Jr., renowned for his innovation and expertise. This golf course is built using a steep mountain setting for the first six-holes, and then drops dramatically back down to sea level. Cabo Real has billowing greens, inventive traps, tricky terrain, and ocean winds that will test your game.
Created as a target golf course on which every hole offers a view of the Sea of Cortez. The desert sun produces an intensity of light and shadow that sometimes distorts perception and creates a mirage effect. The first six holes at Cabo Real climb steadily through Sonoran desert topography at the foot of rugged mountain peaks. Free-form bunkers and small, elevated greens combine with fairways that play along ridge tops to provide an expansive feel. The fifth hole, at 454 yards, runs along the edge of a steep canyon to a green sandwiched between canyon and sea at the course's highest point-460 feet above the water. The eighth hole is a study in clean lines-a dogleg left punctuated by two large fairway bunkers and a cactus as hazards, and a small green perched at the base of a hill. Cabo Real's back nine is gentler, with wide fairways running down to the sea at the fourteenth hole. The 168-yard fifteenth plays over the beach to an elevated green. The final holes journey back uphill toward the welcoming comfort of the clubhouse. Five sets of tees stretch the course from 5,198 to 7,058 yards, with a maximum slope rating of 141.

Nine holes
Mayan Palace Golf Los Cabos Featured Real Estate
A Mario Shedjnan design, Mayan Palace Golf Los Cabos (formerly the San José Municipal Golf Course) is a meticulously maintained course meant for both intermediate and beginner golfers.
The first tee offers a panoramic view of the Sea of Cortez. This par four hole slopes downward, with a wide fairway that doglegs to the left. The 7th hole features more dramatic ocean views on the left, and a mountain view facing you as you approach the green. This hole is particularly challenging, with a large lake at the bottom as well as a lateral sand trap at the back of the green. The final hole of the course is another favorite, with a wide sloping fairway with numerous sand traps.
No reservations are required at Mayan Palace, but it does tend to be crowded. As one of the cheapest of all the local courses, it is advised to book in advance to get preferred tee times.
