Cabo golf

Nice course. Beautiful surroundings and excellent shape for the course. Driving range was closed so you could only chip and putt. Ocean course was aerated fairways and greens so we okay arroyo and mountains. Fun course no pace of play issues. Bev cart girls came around a ton. Food was good at the turn. Staff was super friendly and helpful when we needed a taxi.

Fun Course in Cabo!

Had a good time playing here, got out ahead of a large group of youngsters and played as a single with my wife riding along. Caught up to a two some so it slowed things down some but overall it was a fun day!! I shot well and enjoyed the course.

Vacation Golf

Played the One and Only. Ocean course was closed due to reconstruction. No all inclusive deal. Practice range was closed even though it was included in the purchase. Staff is very friendly. Course layout is nice but the greens were dry. You’re paying extra because it’s a resort golf course. Got an ok deal but still not worth it in the end imo. Won’t be returning here. Would rather pay a little extra and get all inclusive package elsewhere.

Decent Course

The course was in pretty good shape and not a bad place to play. Pretty easy course and good for a group with people that don't play often. It would be a 4-star course but for the lack of customer service and amenities is really what sets this course apart from its peers in Cabo. When we teed off, we were told there was a cart girl going around so didn't need to grab drinks before. We played the front 9 and no sight of the cart girl. At the turn, she was just hanging out at the clubhouse. We stopped at the walk-up bar for drinks but the starter came over rudely yelling (literally yelling) that we couldn't stop at the turn and forced us to play on (even though the group behind us was still teeing off on 9 - and, turns out, no one was behind us on the back 9 at any point). We finally got our first cocktails on hole 15 when the cart girl showed up. Definitely not expected when playing a course at a vacation destination (plus we were on a bachelor party so that's even less ideal). Most of the other Cabo courses have much better service for the same price. I would recommend looking elsewhere if you can find availability (Cabo Real, Cabo del Sol, etc.)

Great staff but so so golf course

My friends and I were expecting a first class experience at Palmilla. We were in Cabo about a year and a half ago and they were rebuilding the Ocean side course. The layout was ok but the bunkers were full of sand with pebbles like the rough areas had. We each damaged our wedges playing out of these green side bunkers. The Arroyo nine was much better layout but with the same bunker sand. For the money we expected better.

Great course

Pamilla is one of best courses in the Cabo area. Greens are immaculate and the fairways well maintained. Beautiful views from every hole.

This course was amazing! Every hole was picturesque and the views did not disappoint. Only complaint I had was the cart girl was not around enough. Other than that, definitely worth it.

Disappointed

I played the twilight to get a better rate and they were nice enough to let me start early when a spot was available. The course is hard with many elevation changes and some challenging tee shots from the back tees. Overall, I thought the course was not in very good shape and not worth the price I paid. It is also pretty disappointing when a course this well known and expensive doesn't have any GPS which would really help navigating the course layout. 3 9 hole loops available. I played mountain & arroyo.

Palmilla golf

Nice course. The Ocean 9 are fiendishly difficult. The golf carts could use upgrading.
