One&Only Palmilla Golf Club - The Mountain/Ocean Golf Course
About
The One&Only Palmilla Golf Club boasts a 27-hole layout that is divided into three scenic nines: Mountain, Ocean, and Arroyo. Named after the defining features of their landscape, the nines are played in different 18-hole combinations. Jack Nicklaus designed all 27 holes, giving each a unique character but the same level of challenge. The Mountain/Ocean combination starts out with dramatic elevations. Expect some uneven lies and the occasional blind shot. The front nine offers a diverse mix of holes of varying lengths that all feature plenty of water and sand. The fifth hole is a memorable par 4 that plays over not one but two deep canyons to a green fronted by a deep bunker. On the back nine, the Ocean Course, golfers can enjoy a different view of the Sea of Cortez on every

The ocean nine might be the most scenic of the three loops at Palmilla. Photo submitted by JasonDeeganGA on 02/12/2014
The staff was the best!
Definitely one of my favourite courses. The staff was very accommodating. We did not get to play The Ocean course so they took us for a tour to view the third hole. This is the signature hole. It was amazing. The food at the halfway was great. And the margaritas were even better
Beautiful
Very nice course. A little bit pricey but it is in Cabo. Nice rental Clubs. 2 year old Callaway Rogue irons and Epic woods. Beer was cold!
Expected more
Check in took 30 minutes. Good thing we arrive 1 hour before our tee time. For the price thought it would have been a little fancier. Overall it was good but was expecting great.
Palmilla’s three nine-hole courses are punctuated by extreme barrancas and sandy washouts that force some brawny carries, mainly on approach.
The Mountain nine is pretty benign, and should afford numerous opportunities to card good scores, until the treacherous fifth hole, where it ratchets up with a stern par 4 that requires carries over ball-swallowing ravines off the tee and on the second shot. No. 9 is another memorable hole, where an aggressive drive over the cluster of bunkers on the inside right of the fairway’s dogleg can yield a flip wedge in.
The Ocean nine demands a lot from your game, particularly from the second hoke to the clubhouse, which features dramatic elevation change down across the highway to the sea and back. Nos. 2-4 are sensational holes, and extremely tough pars.
My only criticism is that at $250, I’m not quite sure the value matches up to other public options in the area, like Cabo del Sol’s Desert course and Cabo Real, which are much better conditioned and about $65 cheaper.

Downhill
Are used to like to play this course but there are a lot of weeds and poor grass in the fairways and there are a lot of strange hole layouts almost like they didn’t have enough room for some of the holes. I hadn’t played in a while I wanted to give it a try again but there are better golf courses for similar money
Vacation Golf
Played the One and Only. Ocean course was closed due to reconstruction. No all inclusive deal. Practice range was closed even though it was included in the purchase. Staff is very friendly. Course layout is nice but the greens were dry. You’re paying extra because it’s a resort golf course. Got an ok deal but still not worth it in the end imo. Won’t be returning here. Would rather pay a little extra and get all inclusive package elsewhere.
A little tired
Could use an upgrade of golf carts, as there is no electronic gps system to provide yardages. Given the cost per round, this should be part of the package
