Mexico's tourist development agency Fonatur teed off the game in the early eighties when they opened Campo de Golf, the first 9-hole golf course in San Jose Del Cabo. That was just the beginning of great things to come; golf has grown to become one of the biggest attractions in Los Cabos.

Today Los Cabos boasts three Jack Nicklaus designed golf facilities, the twenty-seven holes at Palmilla, 18 holes at the new El Dorado Golf Club at Cabo Real, and 18 holes at Cabo del Sol. There are also Robert Trent Jones II and Peter Dye courses along the corridor between San José del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, as well as the Tom Weiskopf 18-hole course at Cabo del Sol. Many of these offer spectacular ocean views, and quite a few have holes that are right along the water.

Cabo San Lucas Country Club 18 holes, par 72.
The closest course to Cabo San Lucas, the Country Club is also the longest golf course in the region. Designed by Roy A. Dye, this impressive course and country club features a clubhouse with pro shop, restaurant and tennis courts. It also boasts some spectacular views of El Arco at Land's End, San Lucas Bay and the Sea of Cortez.

Cabo del Sol 18 holes, par 72.
Designed by Jack Nicklaus, Cabo Del Sol offers magnificent desert landscaping and broad ocean views. Located approximately 8 miles from Cabo San Lucas, at Playa Barco Varado, Cabo del Sol stretches for more than a mile along some of the most breathtaking terrain in Los Cabos.

Cabo Real 18 holes, par 72.
Situated on the beach right next to the Melia Cabo Real along the "Los Cabos Corridor", Cabo Real offers unbeatable views of the Sea of Cortez. Designed by Robert Trent Jones Jr., this superb course meanders down from the desert hills to the beautiful white-sand beaches. Cabo Real was the site of the 1996 PGA Grand Slam Senior Tournament.

El Dorado 18 holes, par 72.
The third course in Los Cabos designed by Jack Nicklaus is the beautiful El Dorado. Los Cabos' newest golf course and the second of the Cabo Real complex, it features six greens right on the beach, and 12 holes following the contours of striking desert canyons.

Palmilla Golf Club 18 holes, par 72.
Located adjacent to the Palmilla Hotel, Mexico's first Jack Nicklaus signature course boasts magnificent views of the Sea of Cortez from almost every hole. Palmilla has set the standard for great golfing in Cabos.

Campo de Golf San Jose 9 holes, par 35.
Conveniently located right in San Jose del Cabo, not far from downtown, this was the region's first golf course, and the start of a great tradition.

Querencia 18 holes, par 72.
Los Cabos' newest course is the scenic, 840 acre private Querencia. Designed by Tom Fazio this desert-by-the-sea beauty is near the Palmilla, in the "Corridor."
