The Club at Islas del Mar

My wife and I went out for an 8am round. We got there at 7:40 and we were on the tee at 7:45. We had the course to ourselves, and finished in 3 hours. What a fabulous day.

The staff are always very friendly and professional. The back shop guys had us going immediately. Yesenia came by regularly with the cart asking if we needed any refreshments. Rut, at the front desk is always a pleasure.

The course conditions are always excellent. Kudos to the course maintenance team.

Javier, the Golf Manager, has the team working beautifully as a team and is always looking for ways to improve.

Challenging, narrow, water, surrounded.
Always windy in afternoons.

Beautiful course.
Never disappoints.
Only flaw is the restaurant is a hit or miss.
Had some awesome food at times and some so so at times. Would like to see more consistency from restaurant.
But golf is top notch.

Challenging approach shots, position necessary from any tee box. Forward tees great but still a challenge for high handicappers. Course currently in dormant condition but still excellent. Excellent fairway cushion that allows great spin in your ball. Greens are true and smooth but are a challenge to read which is typical for a Nicklaus course. Can’t go wrong with this place.

This course has never disappoint.
Friendly staff.
Challenging course

For a 9 hole course playing it twice is a blast. Water on most every hole, over water a few holes. Good length and definitely in the best condition around. Great staff. I can’t wait for them to do the other 9, but it’s not like playing a 9 hole course. It’s the real deal.

We had a blast out there. There are three golf courses in Puerto Penasco and this is my favorite. Vidante is also excellent but a 40 minute drive from our condo.

Islas del Mar is our favorite course in Puerto Penasco. It is only 9 holes but you can play it twice for 18. They have a set of yellow tees that are longer on some holes and shorter on some holes than white tees if you don’t want to play the same tees. The setting is beautiful, played around lagoons, near the ocean. The staff does a great job of maintaining conditions. The other contender for “best” in Penasco is Vidante, which is just as good from a quality and condition perspective. We just like the style of hole layouts at Islas, plus it is much closer to Sandy Beach resorts. Both are great.

For the money this course is a great way to spend the day, to bad it’s only 9 holes.
