Beautiful Course, Great Staff, Fun Fun Fun!

Islas del Mar is our favorite course in Puerto Penasco. It is only 9 holes but you can play it twice for 18. They have a set of yellow tees that are longer on some holes and shorter on some holes than white tees if you don’t want to play the same tees. The setting is beautiful, played around lagoons, near the ocean. The staff does a great job of maintaining conditions. The other contender for “best” in Penasco is Vidante, which is just as good from a quality and condition perspective. We just like the style of hole layouts at Islas, plus it is much closer to Sandy Beach resorts. Both are great.

Plush fairways with fast greens.

The course was in great shape and easy to get to.

Price was competitive. A lot of water but wide fairways and greens that hold with a high shot.

ONLY one issue. PLEASE, PLEASE do not Armour All the seats, steering wheel and floor boards. Everything we touched was greasy and made our golf gloves also greasy. Also getting into the cart was dangerous because our feet slipped.

Great course, good challenge

The course is beautiful, it is only 9 holes, but definitely worth playing twice back to back. Definitely bring your A or B game, anything less will not be fun. Water plays on most every hole, just a great layout.

Great little course

I wish it was 18 holes. But don’t let that stop you. The way the wind changes down there the second time around, plays like a whole different course with the wind and the different tea boxes

Difficult at Best

This is a Jack Nicholas designed course. i think Jack forgot that not everyone is a pro or scratch golfer. Par score is difficult to come by. The pin locations were very fair but getting there in regulation required consistent ball striking. one mistake will earnyou a quad.

Enjoying the view

I had a very enjoyable round of golf. It was surprisingly difficult with tiny greens and water and play on virtually every hole. I played different tees on each nine. Course condition was excellent. I will be back.

Mexico Gem

Beautiful course and amazing staff. Water on every hole makes this course more challenging. Driving range needs some improving. Staff are always smiling and are happy to make sure you are having a great day.
