Cabo del Sol - The Desert Golf Course
About
The first Tom Weisskopf signature course in Mexico is the Cabo del Sol Desert Course. This course opened its doors in 2001, promising a target-style golf experience with sloping fairways and plenty of bunkers that will appeal to golfers of all skill levels.
This course’s desert setting makes it unique among local courses. According to Weisskopf, “The natural beauty of the desert, mountain and ocean provides and ideal setting and some of the best terrain for golf anywhere in the world. It’s Cabo’s newest challenge and one of the most scenic courses in the world.”
If you are looking for a course with something for everyone, with a bit of a different flavor than other local courses, the Cabo del Sol Desert Course is a great option.

Loved the uphill par-4 6th hole. Photo submitted by BrandonTuckerGA on 11/08/2017
Fast, Firm Greens
Played on a deal time in February and got to experience this course with Weiskopf's greens in full effect. They rolled true and fast but were a little too firm to be receptive. Overall a nice track with a few fun, drivable par 4's along with a couple of real good par 3's. Only knock on this course is the traffic noise from the highway, I would still recommend and will play again.
Golf here!
Attention to detail! We were greeted when we pulled up, they grabbed our clubs, told us where to check in, showed us the restaurant, told us where the driving range was, cleaned our clubs while we were practicing, told us what to expect, lady on the first tee have us more information and we were off. Had a whole tray full of gum, candy, Kleenex, aspirin, bandaids, Pepto, sunscreen, etc on the first tee and the bathrooms, and an excellent snack shack half way through and they gave you cold scented wash clothes out on the course. The course was great with amazing views. Would definitely golf here again!
First class
First class everything at Cabo del Sol.
Special place.
The Desert course offers manageable par 5s, arduous par 3s, with a sprinkling of short par 4s. A bit of a yawning start gives way to some excellent holes, including a back nine that plays across the highway and back toward the Sea of Cortez, with brilliant holes that rank among the course’s best offerings.
Though none of the holes play out to the sea, you are constantly aware of your proximity to it, because it is the backdrop on most every hole, yielding exemplary views.
The practice range is staffed with an attendant that sees to your every need, including club washing, doling out bottles of water and sunscreen, and even providing an ashtray to accommodate one’s cigar.
The first tee and comfort stations offer a min-mart assortment of gum, mints, band aids and remedies for most every ailment from headaches to nausea.
I found this to be a great value when looking for a public offering. It’s greens fee pales on comparison to.other neighbors and the conditioning was much better than other courses that charge up to $65 more.
Excellent Course in Overpriced Cabo
Greens and course in excellent condition , though Bermuda grass in rough and around greens make shotmaking difficult( I don’t like Bermuda grass). Strangely enough, lakes on 17 and 18 have been drained for reasons unknown.
Amazing course and amazing staff!
Loved the Course and the staff are all amazing and friendly. I think there should be package deals for the course for residents. The course wasn’t busy at all. More people would play if it was a bit cheaper or had packages.
Fun Course
Played with brother on vacation. Friendly staff and course was in excellent shape. From a layout perspective, it was very accessible but few holes are "memorable". Perhaps 17. Only one snack bar at the turn but cart girl was around frequently.
Beautiful course
Only 12 holes but you can repeat
One of the must beautiful courses I Have Ever played
Avoid while Under construction
When we got to the course we were told only 12 holes were open. We were told we could start over after 12 to get our 18 holes in. There was so much construction with dump trucks and equipment running around us constantly it ruined our day. For the amount of money we paid it would have been nice to know the course was under construction before we got there.
Classic Cabo
Classic Cabo course. Good design. Good condition. Good layout. Good ocean views. It's a little more expensive than it should be in my opinion but when in Rome I guess. The staff was very friendly and fantastic. I would definitely come back. Wish they would've kept the ocean course public though so I could play it as well. I have played 10-12 Cabo golf courses over the years and would rate it in the top 5.
Cabo del Sol Desert Course
Outstanding value. Course is well designed and impeccably maintained. Bermuda greens are the best in Cabo.
Beautiful course & ocean views
Excellent green condition, great layout course design with ponds, bunkers, waterfall. Beautiful ocean views on many holes.
Just do it!
Fantastic day on this extremely well manicured course. Everything for the practice facilities, staff, attendants and the great layout make this a must play.
My husband and I play 3 or 4 times a week. Great course and difficult but enjoyed the challenge. Good pace of play too. Coming back tomorrow!
