Rating 73.7

Overlooking the Sea of Cortez, the One&Only Palmilla Golf Club offers a stunning 27-hole course designed by Jack Nicklaus. The course is divided into three nines that are named after the defining features of their landscape. They are played in three different 18-hole combination, providing golfers with a different experience on the front and back nines. The Arroyo/Mountain Course has the most dramatic elevation changes of the three golf courses and also some of the best views. The seventh hole on the front nine proves "Arroyo" to be an apt name for the course. This 560-yard hole plays alongside one that is deep and intimidating. The back nine, the Mountain Course, is a diverse layout with holes of varying lengths as well as plenty of sand and water.

Nice course but....

We two retired golfers have the luxury of traveling all over we have found that Mexico has no better courses that our own United States but most people feel they have to pay more for the same or less quality Golf Plus the language barrier and the money exchange issue. And then of course there is the added stress of going through Mexican and American customs.

beware of timeshare deals

I had to cancel my twilight round because I was promised a free found the following day. The free round was from the Tiger Wood's/ Davis Love 111 course called Diamante. I was unaware of the cancelation policy at Palmillas. I had to pay $150 cancellation fee. I did end up playing 8:30 round worth $250 for free. All in all, read the fine print. The palmillas is a definate bucket lister... no words can explain this beutiful, challenging, fun layout. Will definately return.

A great resort layout

I thoroughly enjoyed playing the round of golf at Palmilla. The course was in excellent condition. The layout is challenging but fair. The views quite scenic. I must say that the club house and related facilities were a bit understated, and seemed a bit out of character for One & Only. Carts weren't the latest, only a food counter. No caddies. That said, if your concern is the course itself, this is the place to play. Great course.

One last point, since I often play with my children for whom 18 holes is too much, I love to see courses have a 9 hole rate. Kudos to Palmilla for this.

Fun in Cabo

A must play course when you visit. Course hard but fair if you make good shoots. Sand traps in play around a lot of holes. Ocean course very visual, and will test your skill level. Staff was friendly and helpful.

Great place to play

I grabbed a hot deal through GolfNow.com the day before I played. I had planned on playing somewhere in Cabo while on vacation but the rates were too high for my budget. It seemed that this course would add a hot buy for a single tee time a day or two earlier so watch for them. Without the discount I would not have played. On to the review -
This course was in great shape. Each hole was interesting with unique shots. Lot's of elevation changes and depending on your tee box selection you have to carry a good distance off the tee. There were many holes you had to carry over water or scrub areas off the tee or on your approach to the green. There were 5 sets of tees stretching from 4800 yards for the ladies to about 7,000 yards from the tips. I played the Gold tee's (second set) and had a blast. Lost a few balls but, eh it was fun. I parred all 4 par 3's for the first time I can recall. I would play again if I had the chance.
I played as a single (which was fine) and I got around in 3 hours with no delays, except for taking photo's.

It was a hot day but they loaded me up with 5 waters and an icebox. The staff / starter were very nice.

Excellent experience.

Had a great time playing this course. I would recommend to take advantage of the practice facility that face the ocean and well set up. The course is in great condition that will reward you with fairway hit. Only one hole was going toward ocean really but that does not matter.

Picturesque and challenging

Fantastic course - some great ocean view holes on the ocean side and a bit more tricky on the arroyo. Course is in great shape from tee to green - fast pace of play and easy to lose balls. Play early - it gets hot!
