A Favorite

This is one of my favorite courses ANYWHERE. Fantastic scenery, wonderful service and one of the most spectacular view holes (#17) you’ll ever play. I always stop here to golf when driving to Cabo.

Right now, they’re struggling to recover some fairways. Greens are great, but some fairways are a bit thin. Fully covered, but still growing back. Even so, it’s such a hidden gem I’d play it in these conditions and be happy.. I’ve heard it may go private so play while you can.You won’t regret it!

Reasonable Course

This is a solid public course. Although play was slow, multiple groups allowed me to play through as a single before I joined up with a twosome at the turn. Nobody seems to fix their ball marks on the greens and the latter were a bit slow, but I’d play the course again for the price and layout.

Fun Track / Great Views

I really like this course. Fun holes, great views and in terrific shape. Pace of play was quick easy sub-4 hours. I played twice now in low/no wind conditions and enjoyed it. It’s not super tough, but who cares…..on my list to play every time when visiting.

Nice Layout…Awful Shape

Staff here were nice and clubhouse was great, but the course is in awful condition. Bunkers unplayable with fairways patchy and hard as a rock. Greens are ok….but the fairways, sheesh!

Thank you for reviewing the course. Let us first start by apologizing for the poor experience you had during your visit. The current condition is by no means the standard we strive to achieve and are working diligently to improve the course. Thank you for playing and we hope to see you again soon.

Not Great Value

This is a nice course with good scenery. You’re not supposed to be in them, but the sand traps are really awful for the price charged. I found pace of play at 4:50 to be slow and we waited at several points. I’d play the course again, but not for price I paid.

Fantastic Layout

I have played many courses in the area over the years, but struggled to get a tee time here. It was worth the wait. This is my new favorite course anywhere. It's a beautiful layout in great condition and played at a good pace (marshals were vigilant in ensuring people kept up). Lots of water so not for the fainthearted, but I will definitely play this course whenever I can get on!

Fun Course

This is a nice fairly easy course with good views and great pace of play. Never felt held up and never pressed. Good practice facility, but clubhouse ambiance simply not up to the standard of many in the valley, Enjoy a post-round beer and snack somewhere else.

Nice Round

Have played this course several times over the years. I have always found it to be in really good condition and play fairly quickly. It is not a tough course by any stretch of the imagination. There is not much water, no long carries or trees and bunkers are reasonable. Of course it's helpful to hit it straight, but wild hitters will still find their shots generally playable. It's a nice relaxing round with good mountain views, a pleasant club house and nice practice facility.

Nice Course

The course was in generally great shape except for the sand traps which were in generally terrible condition....many were so thin it was impossible to get a club under the ball. I guess you could argue you’re not supposed to be in the traps and in some cases balls would land in traps and jump out (no complaints on those haha). The course was otherwise in great shape from tee to green. Only complaint was slow play, but that seemed due to an early tourney. To his credit, pro rode around course apologizing for pace and assuring it would pick up once tourney groups finished. It did. Would play here again although it is a long drive from the west side.

Good Condition

I last played this course over 10 years ago. It has matured nicely. Course today was in nice shape from tee to green. Sand in sand traps was not good, but you’re not supposed to be in them I guess! Pace of play was a bit slow (we generally waited a little bit at each tee box, but marshals were present and encouraging maintaining pace of play throughout the round. I will play this course again I’m the next few days.

Disappointing

I played this course a few years ago and enjoyed it. Not today. Greens were good, but fairways were not in great shape and bunkers were ridiculous. OK, you’re not supposed to be in them, but when you are, it would be nice if they weren’t the condition of a sandlot baseball field. I don’t believe this course is a good value for money and know there are much better options in the area. Will not play here again without hearing of improvements.

Fabulous Course

This was my third time playing this course in the past week. I think this is one of the best courses in Baja including the many I've played in Cabo. Spectacular views on nearly every hole and #17 is every bit as special as any ocean course anywhere. The pace of play was fantastic, conditions were great and the staff totally helpful. This is a new course and the clubhouse/pro shop has a bit of a temporary feel to it, but the food was good and if you want something more you can go to the 5 star hotel by golf cart. Would play again and again, but gotta go home!

Bad Shape

OK, I played a terrible round, but this course is not in good shape at all from rough tee boxes to bare spots on the fairways. The greens were generally ok, but I'd prefer to pay more money (the condition was that of an inexpensive muni anywhere outside of Florida) and get better conditions. There are better albeit more expensive options around.

Response from on 02/13/2017:
Thank you nmalden for your review and feedback of our golf course. We are in drought conditions and experiencing irrigation issues on some holes on the golf course. We will be back in good shape with a little rain and we hope you will come back and see us again very soon as you are sure to have a much better golfing experience!

Great Course

This course is in great condition and has great views. In addition, we saw more wildlife here than any of the 4 other courses we played combined. Only drawback is driving range limited to hitting off mats into nets.

Disappointing

This was the most expensive course we played during a 5 day golfing trip and we all agreed it was least value for money. Facility itself is very nice and staff were friendly, but the course conditions were average and there were areas of course that just weren't as scenic as many other less expensive options. There were some fun holes and we enjoyed ourselves, but we just felt there are better courses for less money in the area.

Most beautiful course of those I've played in the valley. A must play. Tough test with some very long holes even from the whites. Walkable.
