One&Only Palmilla Golf Club - The Ocean/Arroyo Golf Course
About
Jack Nicklaus designed the 27-hole course at the One&Only Palmilla Golf Club. The golf course is divided into three nines that are played in different 18-hole combinations. The courses wind through endless cacti and through deep arroyos, a landscape that Nicklaus fully utilized. He gave each a unique character, naming them after their defining characteristics. The Ocean/Arroyo Course starts you off with incredible views of the shimmering blue waters of the Sea of Cortez. Each hole on the front nine offers a different, but equally scenic view of the ocean. The gently sloping Ocean nine has large greens that can be tricky but they are balanced by wide, player-friendly fairways. The back nine features more dramatic elevation changes, especially on the intimidating 16th hole, which plays alongside a deep and foreboding arroyo.

The ocean nine might be the most scenic of the three loops at Palmilla. Photo submitted by JasonDeeganGA on 02/12/2014

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.
Ocean 9 great!
Preferred Ocean vs Mountain. Lots of trouble on both. Bring your A game.
Nice starter!
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.
Challenging layout especially for first time to play. Little expert but fun to play
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 Golf Course
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.
