Palmilla Golf Club - The Ocean/Arroyo Course

I've played Palmilla a couple times over the years (the most recent in 2012) and it never disappoints. This was the first foray of Jack Nicklaus into Los Cabos way back in 1992 and still one of the destination's best golf experiences.
Troon Golf runs the 27-hole club with the same level of service and standards of the famed One&Only Palmilla across the street. The mountain nine's fifth hole, a treacherous canyon-hopping par 4, might be the most difficult hole in Los Cabos. The Ocean nine, added in 2007, drops 600 feet in elevation during the first six holes with the third green perched on the beach. My favorite loop is the Ocean-Mountain nine, although any combination is a good one.

We played the Ocean and Arroyo courses and it was awesome! Great conditions, scenery and a variety of challenges. Will play it again when we come back!

I've played several course in Cabo including Cabo de Sol as well as Cabo Real. Palmilla for the money value is tops in the area. I would highly recommend. The Mountain course is challenging, yet fun. The Ocean Course was fairly easy with beautiful scenary.

VERY ENJOYABLE ROUND OF GOLF. Staff was very friendly and helpful.

I paid a little extra to play this course based on a hotel recommendation and was not disappointed! Well worth the $150 for twilight golf including club rental. Course plays very fair with front tees available for high handicappers and back tees with lots of forced carries for low handicappers. The holes on the ocean course are amazing with one green right on the sandy beach with amazing views. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a round to remember.

I played this course on Monday,, well sorry I played 9 holes on Monday because there was a 6 ball on front of us that where extremely rude and uncooperative. It took us 3 hours to play the front nine and these guys held us up because they where drunk and had no repect for the people behind them. I went into the pro shop at the 9rh hole and the manager said he had talked to the guys to move on and to be more pleasant and respect the other player but he said they where the owners friend and there was nothing he could do. He did tell me to come back any other day and I could play again, but this is not much good as its a $70 taxi to the place and plus I'm not sure my partner would be best pleased if I went golfing again. Anyways all and all the views are great and the fairways aren't bad, but be prepared that he greens are in bad condition I guess they must have spikes them. Overall the course is over prices and shabby. I would strongly recommend to try another course.

Played Ocean and Arroyo courses. Couple of very difficult par 4s on Ocean course but otherwise very fair but challenging. In great shape. Great scenery. Better than Club Compestre from scenery standpoint.

Very nice with pleasant staff. Beware of numerous fairway bunkers. Enjoy!

So please check the security of your web site! It's very important for customer.

Greens were just sanded so it would have been nice to know this before. A few water holes and lots of desert if you miss a tee shot. Nice homes around course but enough nature to make it interesting. Will come back again.

The staff is very friendly, and the course is in great shape. The pace of play is great, and there are some fabulous views from holes on all three 9's (the Ocean course being some of the best).

Need to add a few mod cons like the other courses around the area. Eg. GPS tracking in golf buggies.

Expensive compared to what the other courses offer in the area.

This golf course is beautiful and in tip top shape. The views are breath taking. We played the Ocean and Arroyo courses. The staff was first class.

BEAUTIFUL COURSE. HOLES NEAR THE OCEAN HAVE EXCEPTIONAL VIEWS. GREENS WERE VERY FAST AND HARD TO READ. I GOT A LOT OF GREAT PHOTOS. FLOWERS WERE BEAUTIFUL!

Palmilla always offers a great golfing experience. It has a few long par 4's and some extremely challenging greens that just leave an average golfer wondering how the ball actually moved the way it did.

This is one of the most beautiful courses I have ever playede

Always a pleasure to play Palmilla. Excellent facility and fabulous location. The scenery is sometimes distracting, it is so beautiful!! Fabulous practise facility.

We played the Ocean/Arroyo 18. The course is in very good condition and has great views of the ocean and surroundings. Greens rolled very well.

Decent course conditions, but shoddy golf cart and path conditions. Few if any course distance markings. Felt like cattle being driven through.
They appear to be living on a past reputation

When I arrived at the "clubhouse" I was surprised to see a small golf shop/half way house.This is a 5 star development? Thankfully the golf course is well built and layed out for some challeging golf. I played the Ocean and Arroyo nines. Both nines are in good shape, but some of the fairways need some water.The "Ocean" course is a bit misleading as there is only 1 hole that plays up to the water. The Arroyo nine has some great tee shots from the Gold tees. The greens on both nines were consistent.
I could not justify paying the the full rate here, but if you can get a twilight rate or last minute deal, take it.
For my money,pay the extra dollars and play Cabo del sol Ocean and Desert.
