Golf in Los Cabos Course Updates, Peak-Season Rates and Insider Tips
The golf scene in Los Cabos has changed considerably over the past couple of seasons. Some historic layouts are moving to private access, while several premium courses have introduced all-inclusive on-course comfort stations, making food and beverage service a bigger part of the overall golf experience. Securing a public tee time now takes a little more planning, especially during the busy winter season. Note - We only offer Cabo Golf Pacakges - hotel and golf, with or without shuttle.
The latest development is Cabo Real’s planned transition to a private course for the new Cabo Real Surf Club. With the peak golf season approaching, here’s a look at the courses to consider, their published peak-season rates and what to expect when you play.

The Insider’s Take: Choosing the Right Cabo Golf Experience
When deciding where to play in Los Cabos, it comes down to the type of golf experience you’re looking for.
For a Full Day of Golf, Food and Drinks
If you’re travelling with friends and want to turn your round into a full-day experience, consider Oleada Golf Links, Solmar Golf Links, Puerto Los Cabos or the revamped Cabo del Sol.
These courses combine impressive desert landscapes and ocean views with on-course comfort stations offering food and beverages as part of the all-inclusive experience. Although the initial green fee may look higher, having refreshments included throughout the round can add considerable value, particularly for groups who enjoy taking their time and making the most of the day.
For Great Golf Without the Extras
If your priority is the golf itself rather than an all-inclusive experience, Club Campestre San José deserves a closer look. Known for its well-maintained playing conditions and Sea of Cortez views, it offers an appealing alternative with morning rates well below $300.
For golfers watching their budget, Cabo San Lucas Country Club is another option. Its lower green fees and views toward Land’s End make it worth considering when planning a multi-round golf holiday.
A Heads-Up on Palmilla
Palmilla is undergoing a major renovation, with only part of the course reported to be open at present. If you’re hoping to include Palmilla in your itinerary, contact the club before finalizing your plans to confirm which holes are available and whether your preferred tee time can be accommodated.
Timing Your Afternoon Round
One important tip for winter golf in Los Cabos is to keep an eye on the sunset.
Daylight hours are shorter than many visitors expect, and a late-afternoon tee time can leave little room for delays. A 1:00 PM start generally provides more breathing room, while a 1:30 PM or later start calls for a steady pace of play.
If you’re planning a twilight round, confirm the expected finishing time and any applicable twilight restrictions when booking. This is particularly important if you’re travelling with a larger group or hoping to fit several rounds into a short stay.
Plan Your Los Cabos Golf Getaway
Los Cabos continues to offer a range of golf experiences, from premium courses with all-inclusive on-course service to more affordable options focused on the game itself. With access policies changing and peak-season tee times in high demand, a little advance planning can make a significant difference.
Compare the courses, understand what’s included in your green fee and book early to give yourself the best chance of securing the tee times that suit your trip.
