Great course, great views, and a great challange

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.

Excellent Cabo Destination

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.

Beautiful course

Beautiful and challenging. Major elevation changes, extreme contours, deep in play bunkers: bring your “A” game and play from appropriate tees. Expect to be worn out by the end of the day but you will remember this place.

Inconsistent greens

Played Arroyo to Mountain this time. Arroyo greens great but Mountain had recently been punched and holes were not well filled, also grass was longer making it difficult to judge speed with their slow and bumpiness compared to Arroyo

Ex favourite

A heads up and/or reduced rate would’ve been appreciated about greens punched very recently. Became clear why we had the course pretty much to ourselves, or at least just few other green fee-ers and no members! Cart girl showed up on 16. This course was always our favourite in Cabo area but definitely dropped a few notches.

Downhill

Are used to like to play this course but there are a lot of weeds and poor grass in the fairways and there are a lot of strange hole layouts almost like they didn’t have enough room for some of the holes. I hadn’t played in a while I wanted to give it a try again but there are better golf courses for similar money

Nice Golf Course

Nice layout. Keep out of the arroyo. Really hot in July - played in the afternoon. Driving range was closed. Beverage cart missed us on the back nine.
