Challenging but not too hard of a course for the high handicapper. Most fairways are wide but should miss away from the many arroyos as tempting as it may be to have a closer layup. Most of the PAR 4s are short, so check the distance. Can overshoot easily like on the Arroyo #1 or Ocean #3(photo).. A lot of variety at Pamilla. The Mountain #1 starts out having to drive to the top of a mountain!
The staff at Palmilla are noticeably helpful and pleasant.. Practice range is set up nicely, the golf carts are new and the food is good! Definitely an overall favorite for me on the San Jose side!

I’ve played PLC and Campestre. Pamilla is all Nicklaus. Supposedly, Arroyo was the first course in Baja Peninsula. Most fairways can be on in two, so fun! Most first bunkers are too far to reach off the tees. Bunkers around the green are sometimes the saving grace that I sometimes need. Really enjoyable course. Booked another tee time in a couple of days. I’m a 28 handicap and shot a 100 today. If you need a more challenging course, this course may be the one your bring your non-golfing friend that appreciates the huge variety of desert plants, mountains and spectacular ocean views!

I played the Chino Hills course. Nice wide fairways for a 25 handicap was appreciated.. Layup distances to water hazards were perfect for me, never less than 230 yds. Overall, a really pleasant course and would have been ideal if the gun range firings nearby weren’t so loud! However, I would play this course again. Nice atmosphere and staff at El Prado!

The whole course is like playing on carpet with the perfect cushion! You’ll need to play this course twice for redemption! Greens are fast and in excellent condition right now! Sand traps are plentiful and not for the weak at heart. Driving range accessible and well serviced with plenty of balls. One of the top beautiful courses of the five I’ve played on the Golden Isles.

Serene, beautiful, (except for seasonal grass aerating/fertilizing maintenance), and course is in great condition. One of the nicer courses I’ve played on the Golden Isles!

Well maintained. Nice cart paths. Very peaceful and beautifully designed course. I’m coming back to play Robber’s Row!
