Cabo del Sol is an 1,800-acre resort community halfway along the Los Cabos Corridor. It once had two public courses, but the Nicklaus Ocean Course became the private Cove Club, so the one visitors can play is the Cabo del Sol Course. This is Tom Weiskopf’s former Desert Course, set on the mountain side of the property. It is open to resort guests and visitors alike, has views of the Sea of Cortez from every hole, and is one of the easier top Cabo courses to book.

The round, in perspective.
Weiskopf’s course opened in December 2001. It is a par 72 of 7,049 yards from the tournament tees, routed through canyon-like arroyos with big elevation changes and bold bunkering. In November 2023, six new holes by Fry/Straka Design were added higher up the mountainside, with wide views over the Sea of Cortez. A temporary clubhouse and range opened at the same time. Desert golf here means carries over sandy washes, firm lies and cacti close to the edge of play. Short of the fairway is rarely a safe miss. Downhill tee shots towards the water are the highlight, so pick a tee box that suits your carry.
Make the trip work.
Ask for the current rate and the best-value time when you call, because Cabo prices move a lot between peak winter and the hot summer months. The course opens at 7.30am and the pro shop runs from 7am to 6pm. Allow extra time to find the provisional clubhouse, reached through the Four Seasons and Cove Club gatehouse, and use the club’s map. The range is open for warm-ups before your round only.
Los Cabos International (SJD) is about 35 minutes east by the Corridor highway. Cabo del Sol sits around 10 km from downtown Cabo San Lucas, so it is an easy taxi or hire-car trip from hotels at either end of the Corridor.
Four Seasons Resort and Residences Cabo del Sol is the leading hotel inside the community, on a rare swimmable beach. Hacienda del Mar Los Cabos, part of Marriott’s Autograph Collection, and the Grand Fiesta Americana Los Cabos are also on site, and a Park Hyatt is due to open. Staying in the gated community saves driving to the course. Cabo San Lucas, 15 minutes west, has cheaper hotels and livelier evenings.
Make a trip of it.
Palmilla and Cabo Real are both on the Corridor within about 20 minutes, and Puerto Los Cabos is near San José del Cabo. Quivira and Diamante are excellent, but they only take guests of particular resorts. Off the course, snorkel at Santa María or Chileno Bay, both minutes away. In San José del Cabo, the Thursday-evening art walk runs through the historic centre from November to June.
Find your season.
November to May is the high season, when it is dry and sunny and morning tee times fill first. June to September is hot and humid, and rates usually fall. The Pacific hurricane season runs from June to November, with most storm risk from August to October.
Yes, on the Cabo del Sol Course, the former Desert Course. It is open to resort guests and visitors, and you book by phone or email. The former Ocean Course is now the private Cove Club, for members and their guests only.
