Cabo Del Sol Golf Course

Ocean Course at Cabo Del Sol
Holes: 18
Yardage: 7012/5666
Par: 72
Rating: 74.1/66.8
Slope: 137/116

Cabo del Sol the magazine course-raters found Nicklaus' second design in Los Cabos, Cabo del Sol, to be nothing short of spectacular. Golf ranked it No. 70 in the world last year. In May, Golf Digest made it one of its 10 five-star public courses anywhere. It has sea views from almost every hole and three of them are right on the beach. The rest of the layout wends uphill and down through ruggedly scenic country, crossing canyons and edged by forget-about-it desert scrub. Cabo del Sol has five sets of tees, and selecting the right one is essential. There are several carries over canyons of no return, doglegs that offer obvious consequences from one angle, mysteries from another. Cabo del Sol is a sure winner!

Cabo San Lucas Country Club

Campo de Carlos
Holes: 18
Yardage: 7158
Par: 72
Another 18 recently opened and designed by P. Dye

Cabo San Lucas Country Club Pete Dye was contracted to design Cabo San Lucas Country Club. The land is essentially flat, the last high spot between a line of coastal hills and the harbor where the Sea of Cortez meets the Pacific Ocean. It's an inviting kind of place where you stand on every tee and think birdie. The fairways are amply wide, and only the wildest shots can find the adjoining sandy, mesquite and cactus-filled scrubland. The bunkering is strategic, not penal; you can putt out of a lot of greenside bunkers. The greens are almost all open in front and all but a couple slope gently away to chipping areas. There are no forced carries over canyons, washes or water. As entertaining as Cabo San Lucas Country Club can be, it suffers a bit not from its layout but from the lay of its land. Each hole is distinct, but without elevated tees or dramatic backdrops there's little in the way of memorability, a key ingredient to the ranking of course quality.

Course description
The 18 original holes at Bajamar, now Percy Clifford designed the Lagos and Vista nines, in 1976. In the early 1990s the course underwent a redesign, mostly to the tees and greens, and a new irrigation system was installed. The Oceano nine, designed by Robert Von Hagge, opened in June 1996.
Lagos nine: This is the lone par-35 layout, with three par-3 holes, two of them to greens guarded by water. Unless you're a long hitter, don't try the back gold tees; they add nearly 400 yards compared with the blues and result in a pair of par-4s that stretch 468 and 455 yards. There's no ocean to worry about here, but fairway-landing areas are well protected by bunkers, as are most of the greens.
Vista nine: A traditional par-36 configuration, these nine holes, with fairways set in the middle of scrub, give a British Isles flavor to Bajamar. Water is a concern only on the approach to the par-5 second hole. The barranca areas off the regularly clipped part of the course are considered lateral hazards, and you may play the ball as it lies as long as you don't ground your club.
Oceano nine: This nine provides the feel of surfside golf in Hawaii, with the Pacific there to catch any slices on the fifth through eighth holes. The fun really starts at the fourth, where the approach on a relatively short par-4 is over a chasm to a wide but shallow green. The fifth is the lone par-3 on the side, with a tee shot over a cove from 169 (blue tees) or 183 (gold) yards out. The eighth, this nine's only par-5 has its tees set directly above the ocean with a fairway that bends to the right. Big hitters can gamble by taking the direct route over as much water as they feel they can bite off. The green here is practically encircled by sand.
