Solmar Golf Links

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.

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.

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.

Not too hard of a course. Spectacular views, very fun to play.

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!

Course was a great shape, staff friendly, greens were a little tricky. Wind is a huge influence on this course.

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.

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!

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.

Great course! Our fav out of the 4 that we played in Cabo!

Be careful playing in the afternoon. The wind was so bad it made the last 4 holes almost unplayable. Note to self play in the AM even if it costs more.

Played Solmar yesterday and was blown away. The clubhouse is amazing and the course is probably the best I’ve ever played. I have played all the Pinehurst courses and Kiawah and they do not compare to Solmar. The course is in excellent shape. You are playing right on the beach on several holes. The green fee might seem pricey but it includes food and drinks, so it is great value in my opinion. I will definitely be back.

You feel welcome from the moment you arrive until you leave. Great Staff, Great Course, Incredible Vistas. This course would eat you up in higher wind conditions.

My only issue is frankly this is too much for a round of golf.

Would I play the course again..........Yes
