Cabo Real Golf Club

Cabo Real Golf Club sits along the Sea of Cortez coastline between San Jose del Cabo and Cabo San Lucas, part of the resort development corridor known as the Los Cabos Tourist Corridor. Robert Trent Jones, Jr. designed the course in the early 1990s, working with the dramatic desert-meets-ocean landscape characteristic of the southern Baja California peninsula. The routing takes advantage of the property's elevation changes and coastal exposure, with several holes playing directly along the water and others moving through arroyos and desert terrain dotted with cardon cacti and native vegetation. The course features a mix of seaside and inland holes, with the most memorable stretches occurring where the layout approaches the Sea of Cortez. Jones incorporated the natural topography into his design, using the property's ridges and valleys to create variety in hole character and shot requirements. The contrast between the arid desert environment and the blue waters of the gulf provides the visual backdrop throughout the round. Cabo Real operates as part of a resort community that includes residential development and hotel accommodations. The course serves both resort guests and outside play, typical of the Los Cabos golf market that developed significantly during the 1990s and 2000s. The region's climate allows for year-round golf, though summer months bring higher temperatures. The course represents one of several Jones designs in Mexico and fits within his broader portfolio of resort and destination layouts that emphasize natural settings and strategic variety.
