Palmilla Golf Club - The Arroyo/Mountain Course

About
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.

The ocean nine might be the most scenic of the three loops at Palmilla. Photo submitted by JasonDeeganGA on 02/12/2014
Challenging layout especially for first time to play. Little expert but fun to play
Beautiful course
Beautiful and challenging. Major elevation changes, extreme contours, deep in play bunkers: bring your “A” game and play from appropriate tees. Expect to be worn out by the end of the day but you will remember this place.
Inconsistent greens
Played Arroyo to Mountain this time. Arroyo greens great but Mountain had recently been punched and holes were not well filled, also grass was longer making it difficult to judge speed with their slow and bumpiness compared to Arroyo
Ex favourite
A heads up and/or reduced rate would’ve been appreciated about greens punched very recently. Became clear why we had the course pretty much to ourselves, or at least just few other green fee-ers and no members! Cart girl showed up on 16. This course was always our favourite in Cabo area but definitely dropped a few notches.
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
Nice Golf Course
Nice layout. Keep out of the arroyo. Really hot in July - played in the afternoon. Driving range was closed. Beverage cart missed us on the back nine.
Cabo golf
Nice course. Beautiful surroundings and excellent shape for the course. Driving range was closed so you could only chip and putt. Ocean course was aerated fairways and greens so we okay arroyo and mountains. Fun course no pace of play issues. Bev cart girls came around a ton. Food was good at the turn. Staff was super friendly and helpful when we needed a taxi.
Fun Course in Cabo!
Had a good time playing here, got out ahead of a large group of youngsters and played as a single with my wife riding along. Caught up to a two some so it slowed things down some but overall it was a fun day!! I shot well and enjoyed the course.
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.
