Ocean Course
Cabo del Sol Golf Club and Resort

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.
