Palmilla Golf Club - The Ocean/Arroyo Course
Rating Snapshot
About
Jack Nicklaus designed the 27-hole course at the One&Only Palmilla Golf Club. The golf course is divided into three nines that are played in different 18-hole combinations. The courses wind through endless cacti and through deep arroyos, a landscape that Nicklaus fully utilized. He gave each a unique character, naming them after their defining characteristics. The Ocean/Arroyo Course starts you off with incredible views of the shimmering blue waters of the Sea of Cortez. Each hole on the front nine offers a different, but equally scenic view of the ocean. The gently sloping Ocean nine has large greens that can be tricky but they are balanced by wide, player-friendly fairways. The back nine features more dramatic elevation changes, especially on the intimidating 16th hole, which plays alongside a deep and foreboding arroyo.

Palmilla Golf Vourse CABO
Great course, great staff, complimentary drinks and food at 2 diferent stations inside the golf course, what more could you ask for?
Great place to play.
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.
Great round
Course was in very good shape. Everyone working there was super friendly. Although is expensive everything included was nice. Once club house is finished will be fantastic.
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.
Comfort Stations makes the value more in line with proce
One hole under repair…otherwise excellent!
Definitely a recommend.

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.
