Cabo del Sol Golf - Jack Nicklaus signature Ocean course - Tom Weiskopf designed Desert Course - Cabo San Lucas, Los Cabos, Baja California Sur, Mexico

|
The Ocean Course at Cabo del Sol is another Jack Nicklaus signature golf course, this one with 1.5 miles of oceanfront along the Sea of Cortez. Considered by some to be the most challenging in Cabo San Lucas and Los Cabos, even those who don’t agree with this say it is of spectacular design and thrilling to play. Jack Nicklaus has called his perfect stretch of Los Cabos “the best piece of golf property in the world.” Golf Magazine named Cabo del Sol on its list of the “Top 100 Courses In The World,” and Pacific Golf Magazine has called it “one of Nicklaus’ finest creations” and the “Mexican version of Pebble Beach.” |

Plenty of arroyos, sand traps and other obstacles make play very interesting. The fourth hole is the longest on the front nine playing 568 yards from the championship tees. Holes six and seven are a rare surprise with back-to-back par threes that play 190 and 207 yards respectively. As well designed as the front nine, the back nine will tease intermediate players, but beginners may find themselves hitting out of arroyos. Cabo del Sol Director of Golf, Brad Wheatley, says “play within yourself, don’t try to do too much.

Keep out of the desert, but if you get stuck, stay focused on the ball.” Of the nearly two miles of ocean frontage, 1.5 miles of it is devoted to holes six, seven, eight, sixteen, seventeen and eighteen. At the par three seventeenth, the golfer is faced with a 178-yard shot over a sandy beach and rock outcroppings to a small green framed by bunkers on one side and a drop to the ocean on the other. The finishing hole, guarded by desert and cactus on the right and rock cliffs leading to the sea on the left, is modeled after the eighteenth at Pebble Beach. A wonderful combination of natural beauty and brilliant architecture, Nicklaus says “Cabo del Sol has three of the best ocean finishing holes in the world.” Cabo del Sol is only getting better. |

The masterful Tom Weiskopf design features an inland layout that takes advantage of incredible natural surrounding. A unique combination of desert and ocean, canyon-like arroyos and a variet of desert foliage creates a breathtaking backdrop. Weiskopf designed this golf course layout to guarantee ocean views from every hole, something every golfer will surely enjoy. The golf course varies in length from 4,810 to 7,097 yards, with greens that offer up gentle, subtle rolls, challenging elevation changes and dramatic bunkering. The newly built Desert Course is destined for worldwide accolades.
"With its dramatic views fo the Sea of Cortez from every hole, The Desert Course at Cabo del Sol is one of the most unique layouts I've designed. The natural beauty of desert, mountain and ocean provides an ideal setting and some of the best terrain for golf anywhere in the world. My design incorporates traditional bunkering, expansive greens, wide fairways, multiple tee areas, natural waste areas and spectacular ocean views. It's Cabo's newest challenge and one of the most secnic courses I've designed."
