Excellent course; great shape for a hot summer!

Great course…. For the summer months the course was in great condition.

I was disappointed in the cost to rent clubs though, $65usd.

But overall I enjoyed my round greatly.

Cabo Real Challenges

Nice staff and course conditions. The price of club rentals and refreshments are pretty steep, but hey - it’s a vacation. Callaway Maverik set was $65. Test the driver at the range before teeing it up. They handed me a driver that was tuned down 1deg of loft and compensating for two steps of a draw - I asked them to reset to factory settings and they did - 2 minutes.

Some holes require you to pick your most accurate club off the tee. 18 is ridiculously narrow from whites at 220 and blues at 250 yards. A tip: hit from the tips and leave yourself about 170 over the water (or right) on your approach. Otherwise, best of luck!

Green fees were $115 with tax and fees using GolfNow special rate.

We live on a golf course in northern California and play 2-3 times per week. This was a fun course, not a wide-open and forgiving “resort” course, but I’ll take another crack at this course taking less than driver off the tee on a few holes.

Worth the money

My son is a professional golfer and I am a two handicap. The course was a fantastic value for the money. We realized it is off-season, however… The staff was fantastic, the shrimp tacos were out of this world and the course was in good condition. The tea boxes were a little beat up due to over seating, but the course played fast. I gave it big thumbs up.

Beautiful course, good value, friendly staff

Course was in good shape. Beautiful views, carts and rental equipment were in good condition.

We teed off at 1130 and it was a scorcher out there until the back nine which was more in the mountains.

They provide all the cold bottled water you want and cold towels for your neck to cool off.

Definitely recommend.

Fun course

Course was fun. Rented clubs, for sure were not the best. My 5 iron was shorter than all other irons. Course layout is great, good views. Course itself had seen better days. It was very dry, and burnt up. But maybe just due to it being late July.

Ocean meets desert.

Beautiful ocean views on almost every hole. A great combination of a desert course and an ocean course all in one.

Great layout

It is really a nice setup, I just wish someone would have let us know that the greens were recently punched and sanded which definitely took away some of the course attributes and know it would have played totally deferent. Overall, a great course. .

Don't get me wrong, I really like Cabo Real, but the fairways were not in great shape and some of the greens had issues too. My wife and I travel to Cabo with friends yearly or twice a year, so I'll give it another chance soon!

Great course & great value!

1st time playing this course. Have played Quivira 4/5 times, Dunes course once, Cabo CC once also. This is a great course, and it was only $99 on Golfnow. It’s on the list as a must play now when we come to Cabo.

Outstanding

I have played many great courses in my day and this is by far one of my favorite tracks. Many fun challenging holes with elevated tee boxes and ocean views. Hills for days on a desert course. Excellent experience!! Would play it again in cooler weather.

Great golf course!

We had played Cabo San Lucas CC earlier in the week and it was disappointing. But Cabo Real was AWESOME. Great course, great conditions, great layout. Almost all holes have a view of the ocean and a couple of holes are on the ocean. It was a great day!
