The ocean views on the front 9 were spectacular and the back 9's layout was also breathtaking beautiful.

Definitely a course to put on the must play list while in Cabo

Great course, great service

Although the greens were a little slow compared to what I usually play the course and the views were phenomenal. Beautiful course, challenging but fair. Played for $50.00 and it was the best deal I had.on my entire trip to Cabo. Fantastic!

Definitely will play it again if I get back to Cabo.

Golf Now/Teeoff prices!

Have never paid resort prices for golf & only because of DEALS I played this great, scenic course. Back 9 more challenging than the front but would not want to pay the $150+ rack rates ever. Thanks Golfnow & Teeoff! I recommend these sites to everyone!

Fun/a real challenge

The front 9 is a fun stretch of golf. The back nine is tuff. Put your seat belt on your in for a bumpy ride.

A bit Icy for Cabo

I’m sure the course conditions will improve as there were folks on nearly every hole working on it. The bunker sand is a strange consistency. Everything is hard pan or a fried egg

The most remarkable thing is the icy service from the moment you drop off your bag and then pay for your round. Even the cart service was dour. The starter was the lone exception and was very helpful in getting me set

The pace of play was excellent. I played with a couple and played through one group. Players were all very friendly

It is target golf. The whole vibe of the staff is a stark contrast to the handful of other courses on the peninsula

Awesome time!

Course was amazing! Played Christmas morning and had the course to myself, some spectacular holes on the course. First time playing target golf and enjoyed the challenge. My advice is move a tee forward and swing easy!

Great staff. Great layout.

Staff was incredible. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Course layout was great with lots of bunkers. Challenging but not too hard. Great views of the ocean and of the desert landscape. Now for the negative- course conditions were not what I would expect for the price range this course is at. The entire course was extremely dry with some areas to the point of bare dirt. If the conditions improve this would be an outstanding golf club.

What a Disappointment

So disappointed by the massive downturn this course has taken. I have played this course on several occasions when traveling to Cabo and I was honestly one of my favorite courses to play anywhere, until this last round.

The course is not being maintained well any longer. I don’t know if this is due to Covid or something else. What I do know is that they should be ashamed of themselves for charging $145 to play there.

There was not one green in all 18 that did not have bare spots. In multiple instances, the outer ring of the greens were all dirt. This translated to the fairways as well. The course layout remains challenging and fun, but it is impossible to score when you are forced to hit off of dirt parches and three putting on each hole.

The service was also fairly lousy as well. The welcoming attitude of the staff is gone. It seems like everyone is upset for having to work there.

Again, not sure what is going on over there, but I recommend playing elsewhere if you are looking for a high end round of golf. Cabo Real is no longer that place.
