Course lacks maintenance

The course is really fun to play. Tee times under $100 make it worth it, considering the moderately poor conditions. Much of the course has areas that would be considered ground under repair, except it is not being repaired. Bunkers are full of rocks and very course sand. The staff is great and food offered at the snack bar is excellent. The driving range is included with round of golf. The standard rate of $200 is too much to pay for the current condition of the course.

Don’t Play This Course

Cabo Real

Would you pay $$$$ to feel cheated and ripped off! This is how we felt today playing Cabo Real. The course should have been closed. The front 9 was not playable due to a previous irrigation problem and still being worked on as we played. The fairways had large areas of sand and what grass remains was completely dried out. There were ugly rows of sod where they laid new lines. The traps had deep mushy sand that had loads of footprints. Probably from golfers as frustrated as us!

The back nine was bearable but also dry tbut by then we felt cheated. This is not an inexpensive track. So we left feeling cheated out of a great day of golf.

We went to the pro shop following our round and there was no

apologies or refunds. They got our money and it’s our tough luck.

I suggest you avoid being a victim at Cabo Real!

Horrible front 9

They warned us but nothing could have prepared us for the front 9. Go somewhere else until at least March

Course condition

The course was in a horrible state. Holes 1-4, 8&9 had completely dead fairways. This condition was not on the website when booking. Back nine was a lot better, but needed work as well. Total waste of time and money.

The front nine is in a very bad shape

They are doing some heavy work on the front nine (French drains, etc.) so it does not worth the money right now.

Front nine closed

Played here many times and love the course. However!! Some mention of the front nine being closed for irrigation work would have been nice! After the turn, play became very slow . We returned to the clubhouse after 15 holes. A little while later a wedding party playing a 12some showed up on 18.

Very poor course management on this day.

Only 9 holes open!

The course layout is very challenging. Conditions were generally good but we had to play the back 9 twice. Nothing online indicated that front nine was closed while a new irrusystem is being installed! They plan to replace the irrigation system on the back 9 starting ion mid/late November. I generally like the course but would not come back until the end purse is open and has recovered from all the construction.

Disappointed

Very disappointed. Half of the course was under construction and we were never advised. Total ripoff! Would like to be reimbursed. Going to fight this with our credit card company

DON'T DO IT!!! REMODEL IN PROGRESS!!

They have 9 holes closed!! The other 9 are okay, but conditions aren't great. They allow you to play back 9 twice. They also don't mention it on GolfNow booking notes nor when you check in. We literally found out on the first tee box. What a joke. Don't play for a long time. Renovations not completed until late November. Fairways on open 9 being aerated.

WAIT!

Course only has back 9 open until mid-November. The course, nor GOLFNOW, will inform you until you're in your cart. Shame as I would've booked elsewhere. DON'T BOTHER.
