About this course
Ocean at Cabo del Sol, a layout etched into the Baja California coastline, carries the spirit of a place where desert meets the Sea of Cortez. This Jack Nicklaus Signature design, a product of the early 1990s, offers a striking contrast: holes carved into the arid landscape juxtaposed with dramatic oceanfront stretches. Errant tee shots are punished by the unforgiving terrain, but the reward for boldness is often a clear line to the green and breathtaking views from elevated tees. Nicklaus shaped the routing to maximize the natural contours, producing a course where strategic play trumps brute force. The fairways, generous in spots, often narrow as they approach the undulating greens, demanding careful club selection. While lacking a storied history of major championships, Ocean has become a fixture on the professional circuit, hosting the Senior Slam Tour Challenge, drawing veteran talent to its sun-drenched fairways. Ocean is recognized for its blend of playability and challenge, particularly its closing stretch along the water. Its prominence is secured by those seeking a memorable golf experience against the backdrop of the Pacific. Members savor a post-round margarita while overlooking the Sea, a setting that underscores the relaxed luxury that defines life at Cabo del Sol.

Getting there
The journey to Cabo del Sol Golf Club and Resort begins at Los Cabos International Airport (SJD), a modern hub serving the southern tip of the Baja California Peninsula, situated roughly twenty minutes north of the resort by road. Private aviation clients benefit from the proximity of Cabo San Lucas airfield, which accommodates jets and offers expedited ground handling for those seeking a more discreet arrival. The drive south traces the spine of the desert landscape, where scrubland gradually yields to glimpses of the Pacific and the iconic granite peaks that frame the Los Cabos coastline, before descending into the resort's gated grounds overlooking the convergence of the Pacific and the Sea of Cortez. This final approach - a transition from arid highlands to oceanside luxury - sets the tone for the singular geography that defines Cabo del Sol.
