Palmilla Golf Club - The Mountain/Ocean Course

The course was gorgeous, and in amazing shape. we had the course to ourselves (it was hot even at 730am in June)!
Worth every penny- looking forward to playing it again next trip to Cabo!

golf course was in excellent shape and views by the ocean was great.

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.

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.

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.

Fantastic course and a challenging layout. Great views but had hoped for more ocean holes. Small pro shop building but all is new and very clean with professional staff.

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!

Great round of golf with great friends. Scenic views, challenging course

Played mountain and ocean courses. Ocean course was more mountainous actually. Played Bajamar up by Ensenada many years ago....THAT. Is an ocean course.
Overall Palmilla was just a little overhyped in my opinion.

Gorgeous course, well kept, nice people. I played mountain/ocean for the gold tee box, a little over 6600. I think all holes had at least 50 to 175 yards carry. I am a 15 handicap, not a long hitter and found the course very challenging but fair. Definitely play it again but probably move up a tee box.
I was expecting more from the clubhouse.

This course was is excellent shape. The greens were a little firm but running true when you picked the right putting line. The staff was very helpful and friendly. The views on the ocean course are great.

Beautiful views, great condition Most tees other than red and white require a significant carry over desert or baranca to get to fairway, and sometimes to the green

Overall wonderful experience

Great practice facility and the course was in great shape. Youget a yardage book at the start and pay careful attention to the yardage as some tee boxes need the right club or you will fly the farway if the shotis not shaped right. Clubhouse is small like most I've seen so far here. Just a pro shop and small canteen. Nice clean washroom as well.

Palmilla was absolutely beautiful aesthetically. Staff VERY friendly and attentive. Not overly difficult to play which
I find enjoyable for "vacay" golf...did not get beat up, yet was challenged enough!

The course has a great compliment of difficulty without being unfair. There are many of bunkers, however, they are placed to defend the greens, but to not deter you from making a good approach shot. The greens rolled very well. Traps could be more uniform, some were great sand, however there were some that were more like dirt than sand. Tees and fairways and greens were in great shape.

I am female and played the white tees on the Mountain/Ocean courses and had a great time and thoroughly enjoyed the challenge. The course assistant at the range before play shared some helpful insights as to the roll of the greens in Cabo. A little pricey even for a resort, but enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere at check-in, the scenic views and the beautiful landscaping. Course in very good condition.

As is true for most all golf in Cabo, IT IS EXPENSIVE! Palmilla is a great desert golf course. Try to include the ocean 9 into your round, spectacular!

We played the Ocean/ Arroyo combo. It wasn't too busy. Especially on the second 9 we were pretty much on our own. The Ocean 9 had some stunning views.

Palmilla is a very well maintained course with numerous challenges yet it plays very fairly and is a good value in Los Cabos. We had a bit of a mixup wherein our tee time we booked on Golf Now was not valid on their system and pushed our tee time back about 40 minutes.

We did not have the booking receipt so we accepted this fate and had lunch and some extra practice. After the round a quick discussion with the manager and a follow-up email, our entire fee was refunded which we thought very generous.

Troon golf shows their class and that they care about their customers. We will make sure we play Troon golf courses in the future when that option is available.

This is one of the nicest courses I played on this trip.
Greens are very fast and takes some getting use to. Course is in excellent condition
