Arroyo/Mountain

First time playing this course. As a single I got a great rate on Golf Now. Would definitely recommend and definitely play this course again. Would have liked to play the Ocean nine.

Is Cabo Golf becoming to expensive?

Playing golf in the Cabo area has always been good and the Palmilla course is one of my favourites. I’ve been playing here for more than 20 years. The cost of golf however has increased dramatically over the last several years and it really is reaching a point where the average tourist will not be able to afford to play without going to a timeshare presentation. A hot deal at $175US per person is only heating my wallet and many of us avid golfers will be looking at other destinations to stay and play.

Kamal

I believe that when I had booked the course on line I had picked Ocean and mountain courses. But when we checked in we were booked on Arroyo and Mountain courses. And we could not switch as the staff said that they were very busy. It did not appear to me that way. Disappointed.

Nice Design

Played Arroyo/Mountain on a deal time in October. A nice course with a good layout and some great views. Fairways were generous albeit a little scruffy. Greens seemed spongy and soft and need to be sped up as they were rolling way too slow, not sure if it was due to the time of year or just recovering from fall maintenance. Overall glad I got the deal time and would like to play this course again in better condition.
