Solmar

For all inclusive it was just ok , only mixed drinks and beer. Regular drinks also, no shots! That’s not all inclusive, that’s all inclusive with limitations. Course is really nice but no Marshall on duty we played behind two groups and we were bundled up the whole round. Staff is outstanding . I will return. One of the best in cabo!!!!

Visually Stunning, Conditions to be desired

It has some of the most amazing views of golf holes that you could ever want. That being said, the rest is over priced and under delivered. It’s also a little hard to get to.

The greens were a different speed almost every hole and over grown. This made them very slow and nothing like the 3 other courses we played which had nearly perfect greens conditions. They said they have been having problems with them.

Fairways and tee boxes are verti-cut recently and it was definitely in play.

On course food options were premade and not made to order like other courses in the area with on course hospitality stands. There was 2 stands and you did pass them twice each 9, which was great for drinks.

If it wasn’t for the views, this would be a 2 star review at $175 per person to play. I just didn’t feel like the conditions were any better than my local muni at home for $25 at 1pm this time of year.

Great course with excellent and friendly staff

Overall terrific experience - greens slow but not unexpected that they are not as finely cut with the hot conditions being experienced in the area. Staff friendly and attentive to pace of play. Complimentary snacks and drinks a plus - will be back.

Great layout, Slow greens

Course had a great layout and the pace of play was really good at 4 hours. Unfortunately, the greens were very long, grainy and slow. The course was too expensive to have greens in this bad of shape.

Caution

Solmar Golf Links is a young course that needs time to mature. The greens are extremely slow, but run true. The course is beautiful with wide resort fairways. The biggest complaint is their taxi service. I had a private driver who dropped me off, but was refused entry at the main gate of the resort to pick me up. I had to pay $25.00 for their taxi service to drive me to the main gate, approximately 2 miles, to meet my private driver to take me back to my hotel.

Incredible Views on This Challenging Course

Solmar Golf Links is a great experience for Golfers of all skill. While the scorecard slope ratings might make this look like a walk in the park, the persistent winds off the Pacific Ocean provide for a more challenge.

Large greens and generous fairways help keep up the pace of play. GPS in the golf carts is also helpful. Being a new course, there is significant housing developments underway around a few of the holes. However, many holes have great ocean and beach views.

Comfort Stations can be visited 4 times (twice each as you loop around). Selection of food and beverages was good, and friendly staff are there to get you what you want and on your way quickly.

Overall, a great day out, with friendly staff to make it well worth the experience.

Would not let me cxl

I tried calling the course and reaching out to Golf Now to get my tee time canceled. I ended up getting charged $765 the price of two tee times when I did not play the course. The staff only spoke english so it was impossible to get refunded. Do not recommend Golf Now or this course. Their ability to do the right thing is abysmal.

Worth Every Penny!

We played this course in the early afternoon on 6/7/23 & 6/11/23 during a Cabo visit at the nearby Nobu Hotel. We had a great experience both times and offer the following thoughts:

1. Other than staying at Solmar, this is your best golf option from the nearby Nobu or Hard Rock Hotels, (only a 15-minute taxi ride away). This course is also worth the longer trip from downtown Cabo San Lucas or beyond as well.

2. Both rounds were played in sunny but extremely windy conditions (25mph+) that caused the temperatures to be significantly lower than in other parts of Cabo because of the cooler Pacific Ocean temperature. However, the course has multiple tees and generally wide fairways that kept lost balls to a minimum, with large greens to accept shots from numerous angles.

3. The course has a superb variety of scenic holes that play in all directions, from vistas along the coast to elevated desert and ocean views from the inland holes.

4. The real gem of this course if the warmth of the entire staff (in the clubhose, the bag area and throughout the course) as well as the clubhouse bar and (2) superb on-course comfort/restroom stations that can be visited from four different holes during your round (6,8,14 & 17). At each visit, 2 drinks (alcoholic or non) and food/snacks per person are included in the cost of your round....which makes the greens fees an even better value.

We will gladly return during any future Cabo travels!

Awesome Cabo course on the Pacific

Everything about this course is top notch! From the arrival and facilities to the course and how well it was manicured! Course was basically built on sand dunes, there are some very gorgeous holes. The practice facilities are amazing (you could spend an afternoon just using them). I played the course 3x while in Cabo (that’s how much I enjoyed it! I will say, I played 2x in afternoon and once early morning. It gets very windy in the afternoon and obviously you have to play different as there a few holes that the wind is directly in your face. The morning tee time had almost no wind.

Awesome overall experience

From the moment you exit your vehicle you can tell this is a first class course. The practice range and chipping area was fantastic! The course is in amazing shape. Many holes are right on the ocean. It’s a very scenic course. I played here 3 times on my visit. The 1st and 3rd time I teed off at noon. The 2nd time at 8:30. I recommend paying the extra greens fees for the morning tee time. It gets very windy around 2pm. There are a few holes that the wind is gusting in your face. The morning tee time it’s wasn’t very windy at all.

The staff, the carts, the refreshment houses and the overall facilities were amazing. Have a Margarita after your round and sit on the patio and just enjoy the views!

STUNNING TRUE LINKS COURSE!

We were lucky to find this course on GolfNow otherwise we might have missed it, and what a shame that would have been, this course is absolutely stunning from start to finish each hole a spectacular view of luscious greens surrounded by large sand dune's, some of which are two - three stories tall! The fairways and greens were in excellent condition.. It's a forgiving course but unique enough that both beginners to pros will appreciate it. That being said the normal rack rate is $350 US and for a Canadian that's a lot of money! I think that's a lot of money for anyone actually. We got it for 200 US at 12:30 in the afternoon. I am a decent golfer with a handicap index of 18 but it does hurt the pocketbook when Golf is this expensive. I would love to golf in Cabo every single day but the absorbent rates make it impossible at least for people in my tax bracket. Moving on...The staff was very good and attentive. There was no Marshall on the course ,nor was one required as pace of play was decent. But those views… even when we had to wait we didn't mind because we could just take a few moments from the game and take in the view. This course is very unique and I would encourage any serious golfer or amateur golfer to give this course a try. I will attach a few pictures that I took with just my iPhone and I hope it gives you some idea of just how spectacular this course is.

It’s expensive but worth it food and drinks included every six holes. Well maintained fairways and greens. Bunkers were a little hard but playable. Staff was amazing. And there’s a day spa on the property that my wife and her friend went to while we were playing. Overall it was awesome.
