TPC Danzante Bay

About
The 7,237-yard course at TPC Danzante Bay climbs through inspiring canyons on the front nine, visits the beach briefly for the 12th and 13th holes before the climax is revealed. The par-3 17th hole will quickly become one of the world's great destination par 3s, a hole so dramatic that golfers will come just to play its tee shot. The elevated tees on no. 17 look down upon an hour-glass-shaped green cut into seaside cliffs. The hole sits isolated from the rest of the course on the other side of the mountains. It was Perry who made the discovery and pushed for routing changes to accommodate its construction. The key to its addition was building two shorter par 4s that climb the mountainside without feeling overbearing. The just-as-scenic final hole, a stout par 4, tumbles downhill toward the resort.

The perfect day! On the perfect course
If you could craft a perfect day of golf, what would you request? Danzante Bay is just that. The course is not super busy and maybe by choice this makes the experience much more personal. There is no rush. Take your time, study each shot and absorb the stunning beauty that is around you constantly. Our morning had no wind and the temperature was a perfect 80F. The experience gently pressures your game to be its best and the conditions respond. Practice facilities were first class and from the first hole to the last each hole was a carefully crafted challenge of golf. Small squirrels kept us company on every hole along with geckos and one cardinal who was brilliant red. The experience culminated on the 17th hole with the most breathtaking cliff shot in golf onto a small slender green seemingly separated from the mainland perfectly. I can’t wait to play again! My wife rode along free of charge with me on this adventure!
A little disappointed
I have golfed Danzante several times, There price has steadily increased for the past 4 years, but we decided to treat ourselves..I don't feel charging full rate ($240 USD) for a course with top-dressed greens and patchy fairways. I understand the need for ongoing course maintenance, but either let golfers know in advance, or offer a discount. So - a bit disappointed. Beautiful course regardless.
Gorgeous course.
This course is probably the best I have played. Some fairways were developing some bare spots which weren’t there last year. Course was overpriced as evident by the lack of people playing it. Will probably not golf this again unless prices change.
Fantastic course! Truly a hidden and upcoming gem!
We visited Loreto for the first time this past week and played the course 3 times. Easily the most scenic course I’ve played with a well designed layout and friendly staff. Assistant pro Richy went above and beyond to help us get set up for a proper round. Great food and drink on the turn and the course was in perfect shape! Will be back to play again!
Spectacular!
Course is as good as advertised! Gorgeous views from every hole including the iconic 17th. Layout is great, not too challenging. Greens were a bit slow and for $200+ round I would expect carts to have GPS. Other than that no complaints! Will definitely be coming back soon!

Love the course just getting too high priced. Love to play more-at least once a week-we live in Loreto-but at $2,006.20usd for one month of golf is just a lot. We thus will not play anymore and drive to LaPaz.
Ps the golf membership is just not that appealing either
A Bit of a Nightmare!
We arrived at the course at 9:30, and finished at 4:30. First we were behind a father, and his 2 small children with boombox. They let us play through..great! Then we were behind a group of 6 with 3 carts. Come to find out there were 4 players, a coach, and a photographer. They also has the beverage cart following them the entire round. They would not let us through. The Marshall came twice, and the golf.pro checked in....his response...stop hitting it down the middle. They both thought the group had no right to go so slow, and not let us through. But after they went and talked to the group, they did nothing to help us play through. My mother is 86, and I was treating her to a round....she loved the course, but after 5 hours we were so tired of standing, and waiting to hit. It is a short course, and I usually play it in 3 to 3 1/2 hours, so 5 plus hours was way too long. There needs to be people that know, and will.run a golf course effectively.
Great but price is getting to high
Tee off had mid morning discounts- now no discounts and they say price is going up. Not good. Out of my price range $210 now-ouch
Price outrageous
As members of the resort it is very disappointing the price to play this course. We specifically purchased our timeshare here because of the golf course. However with the price increasing drastically each year it’s out of range for us Canadians with the dollar exchange. At the current rate of $238 US per round currently on golf now it would cost Canadians $320 for a round of golf. I THINK NOT!!!!!
Hidden Gem in Loreto MX
Course is always in immaculate condition! Danny, the club pro, is first class! My favorite golf course in Latin America and maybe even the Western Hemisphere!
