Cabo Del Sol Golf Club and Resort offers its visitors two championship courses with five tee boxes to choose from.
The Cabo Del Sol Ocean Course - Designed by Jack Nicklaus and presently ranked 68th by Golf Magazine in its list of the "Top 100 Courses in the World" is known as the Pebble Beach of Mexico.
Jack Nicklaus calls this piece of land as "the best piece of golf property I've ever seen". Jack even has his own tee box hidden behind the 16th green! In typical Nicklaus style, he has used the natural beauty of the area and with six holes bordered by the ocean, it is challenging and exhilarating to play. Nominating a signature hole is difficult here since outstanding views and proximity to the ocean render each hole memorable. On the front nine, Jack Nicklaus has placed two par-3s in a row, the sixth and the seventh hole. Both have the ocean on the left, with the seventh adding a carry over an arroyo to a three tier green, 44-yards long. The par-4 17th plays downhill towards the ocean, with the green sitting right on the edge of the beach, bordered by water.
Perhaps the most inspiring and most photographed hole on the course is the par-3 17th hole which requires a carry directly over the crashing surf of a small bay to a postage stamp of a green. Rock cliffs leading to the ocean frame the par-4 18th fairway, and as you play, you are easily reminded of the Nicklaus comment that these are "the best three finishing holes in all of golf!"
The Cabo Del Sol Desert Course - Designed by Tom Weiskopf and opened in January of 2002.
It is accessed by the same clubhouse as the Ocean course, spreading around it and across the other side of the highway up the mountainside. As a result, every hole has an ocean view. Throughout the desert course, you will notice several Weiskopf trademark features. Many of the holes have false fronts, which means you will inevitably seen your ball rolling away from you should you not land it squarly on the green. There are also "elephants" in the greens - interesting undulations - requiring patience and strategy when putting. To play this course well, you should consult the players booklet handed out by the starter or you will be misled by what you cannot see from the tee box. Rocky outcrops look as if they make the fairway too narrow to hit, until you arrive and find it opens out behind the rock face. This is a thinker's course and Tom Weiskoft places long difficult holes followed by make able ones. The par-5 third hole is a long 626-yards and tough since you are invariably playing into the wind while the par-4 fourth is more forgiving. There is not much water to be seen on this course but plenty of arroyos and rocks to challenge even the most talented player.
