Los Cabos Golf Courses: Choose the Right Round


Find the round that fits your stay, your group and the part of Cabo you want to see.

Updated August 2026 · Curated by the What’s In Cabo team

Access decides the round. The landscape decides the memory.

Where you can actually book

Six of the eighteen sell tee times to visitors with no hotel key and no membership. Palmilla, Cabo del Sol, Cabo Real, Club Campestre San José, Puerto Los Cabos and Cabo San Lucas Country Club are where most Cabo golf trips begin, because you can hold a tee time before you decide where to sleep.

Nine more are member-and-guest clubs: Querencia, El Dorado, Chileno Bay, Twin Dolphin, Cove Club, Costa Palmas, and the three Diamante layouts — the Dunes Course, El Cardonal by TGR Design and the Oasis Short Course. Three carry a resort access term: Quivira and Vidanta open only to guests of the right property, and Solmar Golf Links sits between the two.

Los Cabos has 18 golf courses, but access matters as much as design. Some accept outside guests, some require a qualifying resort stay, and others are private clubs. Start with eligibility, then compare location, course format and travel time. This guide connects every course to a verified listing with current planning details and the operator booking channel.

Golf in Los Cabos moves between Pacific dunes, desert foothills and the Sea of Cortez. The most useful first question is not which course appears most dramatic; it is which course you can actually book. Outside-guest tee sheets, resort privileges and member access are different paths, and they change how the rest of the day should be planned.

Use the routes below to narrow the field, then open a course profile for the current access note, holes, designer, location and official booking channel. Prices, maintenance schedules and tee-time inventory remain with the operator, so this page does not cache rates that can quickly become outdated.

How the eighteen are spread

Six courses line the Tourist Corridor between the two towns, six sit around Cabo San Lucas, five around San José del Cabo, and one is out on the East Cape at Costa Palmas — an hour of driving that changes the shape of the whole day. Sixteen of the eighteen list an ocean view and sixteen list desert terrain; four are genuinely oceanfront and three play through dunes.

Before you build the trip around a round

The editorial golf guide compares setting and routing, and how you get around matters more here than the yardage: the drive from San José del Cabo to Cabo San Lucas runs about forty minutes without traffic. If the round is the anchor of the day, book the tee time first and fit where to eat around it.

Access comes first

Choose the tee-time path before the course.

The same Los Cabos map includes public tee sheets, resort privileges and private clubs. Starting with access removes the options that cannot fit your stay.

A course may appear in more than one access category. Always use the current eligibility note on its profile before paying.

Before you reserve

Protect the round from avoidable surprises.

Once access is confirmed, four practical details have the biggest effect on the day.

01

Use the operator tee sheet

Live availability, maintenance blocks and current rates belong to the course.

02

Plan the drive around arrival time

Courses can sit far from the hotel even when the map looks compact.

03

Reserve the right rental set

Confirm handedness, shaft options and whether the set must be booked ahead.

04

Check inclusions before comparing prices

Cart, practice access, food, drinks and transport are not consistent across courses.

Frequently Asked Questions

How many golf courses are in Los Cabos?

Can visitors play golf in Los Cabos without staying at a resort?

Yes, several courses accept outside guests subject to availability. Others require a qualifying hotel stay, residence or member invitation. Check the access note before building the rest of the day around a tee time.

How far ahead should I book a Cabo tee time?

Book as soon as the hotel and travel dates are firm, especially for preferred morning times and multi-round trips. Availability changes by season, maintenance calendar and access policy, so use the operator channel shown on each listing.

Should I bring golf clubs to Los Cabos?

Many courses offer rental sets, but brands, shaft options, left-handed availability and advance reservation rules vary. Confirm the set before the tee time if equipment fit matters to your round.

Do I need transportation to a golf course in Los Cabos?

Usually yes. Courses are spread across the Pacific side, the Tourist Corridor, San Jose del Cabo and the East Cape. Plan the pickup around the requested arrival time, not only the published tee time.

Tee times, rates and access rules change. Confirm eligibility and the current rate with the course before you travel.
