Rating 73.7

Overlooking the Sea of Cortez, the One&Only Palmilla Golf Club offers a stunning 27-hole course designed by Jack Nicklaus. The course is divided into three nines that are named after the defining features of their landscape. They are played in three different 18-hole combination, providing golfers with a different experience on the front and back nines. The Arroyo/Mountain Course has the most dramatic elevation changes of the three golf courses and also some of the best views. The seventh hole on the front nine proves "Arroyo" to be an apt name for the course. This 560-yard hole plays alongside one that is deep and intimidating. The back nine, the Mountain Course, is a diverse layout with holes of varying lengths as well as plenty of sand and water.

For the price it’s not worth what you can get at the surrounding courses. You pay to dollar and the conditions don’t compare. Also other courses offer food and drinks included for the same price. I found the conditions not up to the surrounding courses.

Excellent Cabo Destination

The Pamilla golf course is a destination course to play in Cabo. The Ocean course is beautiful while the Arroyo and Mountain courses are scenic, but more challenging. The staff is friendly and the courses are in great shape. I play at most of the courses in Cabo, but playing at the Palmilla quickly puts you in a great mood and immediately disconnects you from the outside world.

Beautiful course

Beautiful and challenging. Major elevation changes, extreme contours, deep in play bunkers: bring your “A” game and play from appropriate tees. Expect to be worn out by the end of the day but you will remember this place.

Inconsistent greens

Played Arroyo to Mountain this time. Arroyo greens great but Mountain had recently been punched and holes were not well filled, also grass was longer making it difficult to judge speed with their slow and bumpiness compared to Arroyo

Ex favourite

A heads up and/or reduced rate would’ve been appreciated about greens punched very recently. Became clear why we had the course pretty much to ourselves, or at least just few other green fee-ers and no members! Cart girl showed up on 16. This course was always our favourite in Cabo area but definitely dropped a few notches.

Nice layout. Keep out of the arroyo. Really hot in July - played in the afternoon. Driving range was closed. Beverage cart missed us on the back nine.
