One&Only Palmilla

First time at Palmilla. Played Arroyo and Ocean courses (9 holes each). There are 27 holes at Palmilla, so I guess I´ll be back to play the other 9 I missed. Grass is pretty well kept. Course is a bit short playing out of blue marks, leaving nice approaches to reach GIRs.

Played for the first time on 4/29/23 staff was very friendly and helpful. Was a single and was put with a three visiting from Tulsa. Played in 4 hours and the course was in good condition. Had a very enjoyable round!

This course was not in good condition, too much work partly done. Of course amenities were mediocre and we had no food or bar service at all on the back nine.

Not good value for the money

All 4 of us were very disappointed in both the condition of this course as well as the course amenities.

We will not play there again.

My only complaint, and it’s a minor complaint, was that they could’ve offered to pair me up with another group. When I checked in, it took them 30 seconds to find my name, and then they said “Oh, there you are“. The starter at the range did offer to let me go off 20 minutes early, but I wasn’t done with my warm-up. When I did finally tee off, I was a single, and I was right behind a foursome. The foursome did let me play through on the second or third hole. Then, I did catch up to a twosome which I joined on about the 12th hole .

In my mind, when I was checking in, they should’ve said “Hey, looks like you’re a single. Would you like to start 20 minutes early and go with a twosome? Or would you like to keep your current time?” There was nobody behind me for one or two slots. So, they could’ve even offered to let me start 20 minutes later.

Overall, I would still give it five stars. Beautiful course in great condition. A bit spendy., But, every course in Cabo is spendy..

A couple, integrated by one of the Marshalls of the course, thought we were playing slow, not realizing that the pace in general was slow, so, without asking, decided to pass us, which slowed down the game even more.

The snack cart never came by during the 18 holes.

It is a very expensive course for the cart not to have a screen.

Fun Resort Course, but conditions were not acceptable for a $285 fee. High demand right now down in Cabo for snowbirds. Supply and demand likely. Driving range was terrible. Staff excellent. Greens were a bit above average. No after golf hangout to sip drafts and settle scores which we wanted. Food and beverage were not included. 3.5 stars on my end.

Beautiful course, oils have had more beverage carts, Ocean Course was better that Arroya. Club house small but great staff!!

Play the right tee box, as a couple holes will be very difficult if you play to far back, I played the Blues at 6100 yards, after looking at the card, as I was going to play the golds at 6500 yards, but you would then have 250 yard carry on hole 5 of the mountain course.

We know coming to Cabo we will pay high prices for golf, so don't read into the the 3 out of 5 for values, as far as Cabo goes it is a good value compared to others.

Drink carts had perfect timing for use, always there when we needed them, just be aware they do not take cash it is card only.

Had a great time and likely will be back

For the price it’s not worth what you can get at the surrounding courses. You pay to dollar and the conditions don’t compare. Also other courses offer food and drinks included for the same price. I found the conditions not up to the surrounding courses.

The Pamilla golf course is a destination course to play in Cabo. The Ocean course is beautiful while the Arroyo and Mountain courses are scenic, but more challenging. The staff is friendly and the courses are in great shape. I play at most of the courses in Cabo, but playing at the Palmilla quickly puts you in a great mood and immediately disconnects you from the outside world.
