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.

Pristine Views - Great Golf

Course was beautiful - played Mountains/Arroyo - very challenging to say the least with desert style. Staff was incredible and food/drink included in price. Will go back to play Ocean course as well.

Value is not there

Too expensive for the experience

Construction everywhere really detracts from course. Driving range no grass to hit off.

The whole course has the feeling of just thrown together

Beautiful course

Course in very good condition but seems like a fair amount of construction around it. I assume the club house is being built. The range was in lousy shape which seems crazy given the cost to play.

Poor Communication

Course was recovering very nicely from Hurricane Norma. Fairways and greens were in good shape but greens were a bit bumpy and on the slow side. Last hole was closed due to maintenance and golf cart monitorGPS flashed return to clubhouse after 17 holes. When I dropped off the cart and removed my clubs, I was told I could have played hole 1 on the Ocean course to finish 18. The golf cart stated to return to clubhouse after 17 holes and shuts off when you do not follow computer instructions. I had to manually push cart on foot several times when it shut down for not following the instructions. Poor communication all around from checkin with no instructions to terminator type golf carts. Nice course to play, but I would request non gps golf cart or try to disable terminator gps cart next time I play there.

Great layout

Course was enjoyable and a bit challenging to play. Fairways in great shape and greens were as well, although on the slow side. Would recommend as a place to play.

Palmilla

The was in rough shape. Staff very nice, amenities were lacking. Going to private and making upgrades that make the track less than good. Not worth the reduced fees.

All the holes looked the same and the walks from cart to greens are not well placed. Most times the walk was up or down severe slopes. Staff was friendly but not as good as other courses. Wouldn’t play again in Cabo as there are many better courses to play

Palmilla Golf Course Arroyo Ocean

I thoroughly enjoyed this course for the following reasons:

1. Everything was taken care for us by best4golf.com , they handled our tee time and selection

2. It was raining and we were given a non covered cart , after visiting the range, which was very well marked, they gave us a covered cart with a smile

3. The course was well manicured and the greens were super nice and rolled true, all were receptive to shots. The sand bunkers could have used some more sand at the bottom

4. Very big highlight was the hospitality of the only cart girl, Tanya-Alexandria, she was so sweet and attentive to our requests, she explained everything and that she would bring any order to us....saw her multiple times and each time she refreshed us!!! Truly a gem!!

4. I liked how the kitchen took or order at the turn and brought our order out around hole 11...the quesadillas were really good

5. The pro shop and workers were quite attentive to us as well. They were able to get a taxi for us very quickly after our round.

I would recommend this to all visitors.
